Subject: Please help ID this Mac board--I hope it's old enough for the list!
Hello all,
I just came across this small PCI type board, labeled:
If it's what I think, it's actually a PPC 601 PDS (processor direct slot)
card.
APPLE COMPUTER INC.
820-0510-A c1993
It also has a chip on it with the label:
341S0021
c 1983-93 Apple

|-----That's why I'm hoping it's old enough to qualify :-)
Not that old... but none the less...
Anyway, on one side of the PCB it's got four large
quad flat pack chips,
from Philips, TI, VLSI, and BT, and on the other side (with the Apple
labeled chip I mentioned earlier) it has two rows of 8 each Toshiba
TC528128BJ-80 RAM chips. On the back end it has a DB-15F connector (like
the old Apple monitor connector) and two round DIN connectors labeled "S
IN" and "S OUT" with 7 female contacts each.
Sounds like the AV card for the 1st-generation (NUBUS) PowerMacs
(6100/7100/8100).
It came in a box labeled DOS Compatibility Card for
Macintosh, but I'm
beginning to think it's not.
More likely, someone removed it from an AV 6100 to install the DOS card.
Interesting find, though...
Any clues are greatly appreciated!
You're welcome.
