Re: Testing an apple ii scsi card without a scsi hard drive?

When I get a chance I will post a pic of the missing chip on the scsi card. 
Most likely, as mentioned it is an Eprom chip that is missing.
Which will be the next adventure in replacing it, haven't done that in
almost 10 years.. this retrocomputing is quite fun and bringing back alot of
memories.
