On my latest forage at Goodwill Computerworks, I managed to snag both a RAMWorks III (which works flawlessly), and a curious Disk II-alike card. The card is silkscreened with a logo "NOC", and the EPROM has "NOC V 2.2" printed in block letters on a sticker over the top.
The card works (in a IIe). However, when it boots, the drive "chatters" twice as fast as with my stock Disk II, and when a disk is present it says "DOS 3.3 Found" (or similar, this is from memory). A friend of mine in Houston told me that it could be a "FastROM disk controller", or even have built-in utilities in ROM.
My questions are: Is it? Does it? And if so, how does one access it, or what software is required to utilize the card to its fullest? And if it's not, then what is it? :)
Take Care!
