Thanks, Mike. I already found that ad, but it's not telling me a whole lot about how it appears to DOS (one drive? five drives?).
I'm hoping that Tony (who always seems to come to the rescue - thanks, Tony) can turn up some support software or docs.
I put the card in one of my IIe machines and it actually booted. Once. After I shut down the box to attach a floppy for copying off the system software it naturally would not boot again :-(. I think the media is quite worn.
Looks like it was running a Vista-patched DOS 3.3. Perhaps this thing uses the same software tools as the A800 8" system? If that's the case, I think I have docs and software somewhere for that.
