The 6522 chips and the static rams indicate to me that the card might well
be a scsi/sasi/floppy type I/O board. The 6522 is used on the BLACK BOX
scsi/sasi interface for the Atari 8-bit series and is produced by CSS
(Robert Puff of NY). If he can't tell you what it is, what it does, and
what it COULD DO, then it doesn't do anything at all.
