Hey Tim, hope this helps a bit........

The "Eye" card is a combo BSR X-10 interface and MSM5832 real time clock
card, the RTC chip is a real pain to program, I know, used to have a card
that used one in my first Apple BBS system. The Delco chip is the actual BSR
X-10 controller, the "IF Can" is the coupling transformer to the AC line for
the ultrasonic carrier signals for the X-10 system.

The softswitch card is a clone of the VideoTerm 80 column card, there is an
RCA cable and a jumper that
connects to the SIP header on the top left corner, the single jumper runs to
either the RCA comp. video jack on
the motherboard, or if you have it, the single pin header just in front of
the RCA jack

Cheers!
