Thank you.
I have too much on my plate now to be tinkering with retro things, despite that I got a wild hair and bought a slew of BX, TX and Super-7 based boards over the last few months so here I am again.
The original idea was to pick one or two favorites of each and then liquidate the rest of my collection.
Sometime in the next 2 years I need to move out of State (family matters) and I just have too much of this stuff to take it all.
The problem is... I LOVE MOTHERBOARDS. To me they are ALL special in their own way.
Doing things like culling down to just two Super-7 boards is HARD and the two keepers NEED to be extra special (to me) in some way.

I'm hoping that's the case because I've been wanting a board that can use either-or (parity or not) to use as a go-to 30-pin RAM checker.
With a 32MB RAM limit this one isn't ideal for that but it'll work for smaller modules for now. Have a bunch that haven't been checked for a while.

From what I can tell the OP's board also has the "DRAM parity check" Enable/Disable jumper.
The question is: Was that in the correct position for the RAM used to test the board?.
