Re: New to the Apple IIGS, unknown card in slot 7.

["Matthew S. Carpenter" <msc1983@mac.com>]

I just pulled the card out and found some writing on the bock side

in the middle it says:
"35 3063 01 00"
"    703010"
"      REV B  SS"

also, at one end on the back there is a circle with an 'N' in it followed by
the text "UP2-1"
