MA == Module Assembly. These fiche have BLUE tops. I have one that is slightly newer: EP-M8436-MA-B . In my case, it is part of the VTERM Fiche set. (Mine is VTERM-000171).
M8436 - VT278 CPU, Revs A, C M8437 - COMM Adapter, Revs A, C and D M8439 - RL01/RL01 Disk Controller, Revs A, B and C M8440 - MASSBUS Controller, Rev F, and an FCO log entry BUT, so far I haven't been able to scan it, at 1200 DPI. If anyone has advice on scanning fiche, I'd love to hear it. I *can* take a digital picture of it. It is readable, but because of how the fiche reader is lit (a single bulb), it is a bit overexposed in the center, and pretty dark at the corners. To get the best quality would probably take 4 of 5 pictures per page - quite a lot. Or, of you have a specific question I can take just a page or two. Maybe someone else can help too.
