Not easily, since it's in its case.  But if I need to take it out,
I'll check.

It would be nice to have a website with a complete gallery of all the
Apple II main boards, top and bottom.  About every week or two in this
forum someone needs to "point" at a particular place on a particular
revision board, and having an open gallery would make it much easier.

(For example, I could look under "my" main board without having to
remove it from its case.  ;-)
