Need help with an Infotek memory card

Hi Stan,

   Boy are you in luck. It seems that I have the manual for this card (I'll
have to find it again). Here's an old message that I posted here on the
list a couple of months ago.

  " Did you ever find out anything about this card, other than the
technical description that someone posted? I THOUGHT I might have a manual
for it and I went looking for it today but didn't find it. (I'm still
looking). However I did find an Infotek manual for a 2Mb memory board for
the 9000 200s. It says that Infotek is a division of ALS Corporation and
their address was 1400 N Baxter St, Anaheim, California. This manual is
dated 1985 so they may or may not still be around but it might help in your
search. I think there are several list members in that area, maybe you can
get one of them to search locally. I have several Infotech devices
including ROMs for the 9825, 9845, a memory card for the HP IPC and a
couple of these 2Mb cards for the 9000 200 computers so I'd like to try and
track them down too."
