I found another date on the board. The board was made in 1983 WOW!!!
I can only imagine that it was very expensive in those days. 1 MB on a single S100 card

Hello everyone
Does any one know about or have documentation to the
S C Digital MODEL - 256 KM
256K/1M RAM board.
Mine is populated with 256 K dynamic RAM so it has 1 MB RAM.
I don't have documentation so my attempt to repair it was to replace all
the DRAM on board.
that did not work. The parity error LED stills comes on. So in my attempt to
repair the board I definitely need the documentation.
Given that I remember something about issues using DRAM card on early S100
cards. I am guessing these SC Digital solved the problem since the board was
made as best as I can make out on the silkscreen in 1988

the parity light comming on at start is normal. the parity bit hasn't been
written with anything sensible yet as rams start up random.
