I just found out that the SCSI board in the M4 data 9903, 9905, and 9914 are
all compatible. So... if anyone knows where there's a cheap SCSI board for
any of those models, I'd like to talk :)

Jay-
I think the parts for the M4 9914 are still available from
http://www.pine1nc.com/M4.htm
I ordered a new revision EPROM from them a while back.

I mean, the SCSI board that goes into the M4 data drive is what I need,
not
a scsi board for a host cpu.
