Okay, so the AST board I have seems to have had the second serial port chip installed, but I can't figure out if this thing has the parallel port installed. I see so many empty sockets, but the only ones I can figure out are the ones that enable Apple Joysticks. I am attaching a pic of the board and hopefully someone can let me know if there is a parallel port or if I need to install the proper ICs (and which ones those might be).
For the Tandon, I am attaching two pics. If I'm not mistaking, all drives in an IBM 5150 should have the drive select set to DS1? If so, the A: drive is set that way, but the B: isn't. Also, I noticed that they messed up the pin insertion for pin 1, but since that isn't used, it shouldn't matter. Will the lack of cut shunts cause any issues? I haven't noticed any, though.
Thanks
