I have a FingerPrint card complete with the flat fingerprint button on a ribbon
cable. It is a printer card with the ability to take a snapshot of the A//
screen and dump it to the printer all by itself. Pos A and B may be serial and
parallel connectors (unless I confused this card with another printer card I
have).

As far as I know it used DMA to read the screen as it would not work on my Zip
Chipped //e.

I am going to borrow a digital camera and photograph my A// card collection.
I must have 30 or 40 different cards - certainly more than I can fit in my 3
genuine //e, 1 clone //e and 1 //GS.
