I purchased this card some time ago and was assured that it was is
good condition and fully functional. I finally got around to looking
at it. On close inspection I am not even game to put it into my GS.
First of all PIN 21 on the CPU cable is missing and I am sure there is
some sort of chip missing from the top right hand corner of the card.
I have put hi-res photos of the card on my flickr account linked below
and would really like someone with experience with these things to
comment. I was told it has a 12 mhz upgrade and was a standard cache.

Well I think it's missing an oscillator in that socket. Those aren't
very hard to get. You should also have all the pins on the cable though,
so you'll need to either fix the one you got by replacing the crimp on
connector or get another cable. You could probably find someone here to
make you a new cable for $20.
For the TWGS to run at 12MHz, it'd need a 48MHz oscillator

It should be noted that Reactive Micro is on hiatus until next year(you
can find more on that on their main page) but it's a good place to get
an idea what you might need.
