I have one that has a 50-pin header and ends in a 37-pin DB female
connector. It is very early model, Sep 17 85 is stamped on the back
edge toward the rear of the computer. hand written serial number
S/N 18-115 RevG 00. It is in very poor condition, and probably
won't work without some major component replacement and cleaning.
No matter though, I don't plan on using it, just have it because it was
cheap and didn't know what I had til I got it here. The seller and I thought
maybe SCSI, but now I know different. The Rom is an 2732 eprom, and
the sticker is totally worn off exposing the window fully and more than
likely has been partially or even completely erased. I'm sure this could
be remedied very easily. Most of the damage appears to be from lack of
care and is in the area between the ICs and the connector at jumpers
L1-L16 and caps C8-C23. I have no use for this and if anyone feels
they can repair it, you can have it for $5 + s&h.
