I received a 3B2/310 and have been able to identify all the boards except 2. One board has a 37 hole socket facing outward, on the left side of the board, with a little LED just to the left of it. The stamp on this board says KS-23267-L2-M. The second board has a 15 hole socket on the left and the stamp CM195A on the board. These boards came with the used system and no software. :-( Could one of these be a SCSI board? (I hope??) ---- Paul Nelson amriver!pnelson@sactoh0.sac.ca.us

The stamp on this board says KS-23267-L2-M. This is not a SCSI board, at least not one made by/for AT&T. A SCSI board has 2 50-pin Berg connectors on it, one for each SCSI bus. Unfortunately, I have not come across anything that I can recall that looks like this. It might be a 3270 bisync board, but I am not certain. > The second board has a 15 hole socket on the left and the >stamp CM195A on the board. This is most likely an Ethernet card. You can probably connect this to an AUI and connect into a 10MB 10BaseT StarLAN network. =============================================================================== Philip A.

i think this is an x.25 card. i don't know the details of the
interface, but 2 rs232(v.35?) synchronous cables attach to it and
terminate in db25s.

Close! Have a cigar. It's an ISC card. _I_ntelligent _S_erial _C_ontroller. X.25 is -one- of the things which can be run on it, but on this continent, it's more likely to be used for SNA/sdlc/bisync/RJE/LU6.2 (i.e. Big Blue protocols). Supposedly, it handles speeds up to 56K, but we have buffering problems even at 9.6, and we only use -one- of the two cables!!! Not exactly a good trade for an EPORTS boards if you're short on I/O slots... Bon appetit!! Drop me a line if you have any questions about these suckers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ kevin@cfctech.cfc.com | Kevin Darcy, Unix Systems Administrator ...sharkey!cfctech!kevin | Technical Services (CFC) Voice: (313) 948-4863 | Chrysler Corporation Fax: (313) 948-4975 | 27777 Franklin, Southfield, MI 48034 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
