Hey guys does anyone here have an idea what these might be? One is full of memory banks, the other one: no clue

Thanks for taking the time Horun, a quick google gives me nothing for the Fastext... whatsoever! Not an image that matches nor a reference, I don't understand. I only got typewriters in return. Oh well, thanks nonetheless; I will definitely look at those links! Is there a guide on how to identify …

Hello, I wanted to add a printer to my 5160 setup and incidentally I have both an - Amstrad DMP-2000 - Smith-Corona Fastext 80 Both seem to have a parallel port, but I can find any information regarding compatibility. Where can I look?

Personally, I would get a schematic of a CGA card like IBM's, and identify the obvious key components and check for sync and color signals. You could do this without a picture of a card, and probably can figure out what the ICs in question are even though they are blank! But if you would like, here …

I was hoping someone here would have the same card in better condition with all IC labels on them 😀

I totally agree with you, however in order to troubleshoot the logic chips I would look at their data sheet, but how can I do so on ICs like these?

I unfortunately don't know which ones ARE the Ram ICs at this stage, as there are some ICs without any writing on them. I can sort-of guess that they are the ones that have specific common lines, but what if I'm wrong?

Hello and thanks for the reply! I was about to have a look and troubleshoot with an oscilloscope, however some ICs on the board have had their number/model number wiped out by - i guess - time? They are completely unreadable (even with a microscope) so was wondering if someone here had the same card …

Hello, does anyone here know what card this is and have better pics of it please? I’m trying to replace some components, but they have been wiped out rendering the card very hard to repair!
