award. its in the previous post. iirc I remember running the part numbers on the ram. I remember reading they were fpm/edo compatible. i have slept since then, so take it with a grain of salt.

don't have a kaypro. 😜 WANT ONE, but alas, I don't have one. Did you know the Apple II motherboard has many different part numbers? like 607-0187 ?

In my defense, I've had to box 6 things for ebay today, and deal with a drive in my NAS going down. Not to mention getting all the things I needed for apple pie moonshine. ^.^ Both motherboards (pc chips and mitac) only reported 256mb like so: http://i.imgur.com/neZbwXim.jpg I forgot to take a …

its not on the bus. It is the software to run the micro-controller on the card. I usually remove these flash roms and save them for other projects.
Re: [Identify] MHz of this coprocessor?

maybe i could word that differently. You can't design X, when X plugs into Y, until you know what Y is. I'd wager Intel told people (by 1990) 33mhz was as fast as they were going to make 386's. So it would make sense to design the chip to run at the correct speed as a 33mhz 386.

that chip is marked 1990. that is at the tail end of the 386 era, but before AMD made theirs (iirc). So I would deduce, because it has NO other markings regarding speed, It will likely run just fine with any INTEL 386. (up to 33mhz)

well, if you search ebay for any of the apple 2 parts seen in the images, it should be blatantly obviously which ones are mine.

OMG IT'S FINE. Let it dry. day or so, depending on your weather. Then plug it into an old crappy hard drive (just the drive) and turn it on. 99% chance it will be fine. test voltages with a DMM, then go from there

I got most of the Apple stuff on ebay, gonna try to get some PC stuff up. I don't care much for ebay, but the global reach wins me over.
