   Ehh? 256K? So either the board provides 16MB of RAM, and the 2Mbyte
  silkscreen is just the shipped configuration, or somebody was wasting
87% of their money?

   BTW, the 10ns was a brain fart. I dunno much about DRAM, but I can
read the -6, -7, and -etc extensions... :)

   So, more relevant to me, is the board itself worth anything outside
the DRAMs? I have a friend doing a 68000 SBC project who could use
some, and I think some of the rest would look fabulous on my Amiga
2000's A2091 board.

   One note - It looks like the DIP switches can be set per bank, but
without docs, I'm guessing that taking any of the RAM off will render it
inoperable.

   But I don't have any old PCs. :)

   BTW, your line wraps seem to be set to 256 or something.
