Hello all,

I just won on eBay a lot of blank CMS SCSI cards for the Apple 2. They
appear to be production circuit boards, silkscreened, plated, traces
run, etc., but NO parts or connectors installed. The following link
to eBay gets you there, with a picture of the boards:

I suspect that there is a ROM on board, and some long-obsolete SCSI
controller chip on board as well, so I hold little hope, but I'd like
to turn one or more of these into functional cards. With that goal in
mind, here are some questions:

- Does anyone have a ROM that they could make me a HEX dump of? I
have no idea what revision board this is, unfortunately...

- Can someone help me ID the board revision from part placement, etc.?

- Would anyone be willing to take detailed digital pictures of their
board and send them to me, so I can try to re-create it?

- Would anyone be willing to loan me their board for a week or two so
I can analyse it?

Anyone who can help me with this will be sent one of these boards, if
they desire... Well, let me say the first 20 or so to help get a
board ... I've only got 25! :-)

Thanks!

Rich B.
