Long, long ago, some of our staff (who did not believe that the 5150
would ever be a significant force in the market) bought a whole bunch of
"Quadlink"s (Apple2 on an ISA card). Most (13 out of 20) did not work,
and we sent the DOA ones back to Quadram. Among the "fully tested"
replacements, one had the card edge connector installed wrong, and could
not have been connected for "fully test"ing.
