RamWorks Expander Modification?

[BAD <badavis@nbnet.nb.ca>]

Hi;

I recently received an Applied Engineering 512K Expander board for a
RamWorks III memory card. On the back of the card are two sets of
connector pins. One set is a single row of eight pins. The other
connector is a single row of 24 pins.

On the row of 28 pins, pins 20 and 21 are cut off half way down the
pins. They look like deliberate cuts instead of just having broken
off.

My question is: was there a problem with the card that required these
pins to be cut? I am reluctant to try the card in this damaged
condition with out knowing more.

Any help or insight would be appreciated.
