The vendor who sold me the MicroVAX CTI card found the memory
daughter card. It 's missing a few memory chips, but otherwise looks in
good shape. Can;t wait to get it, add the missing chips and do some
testing. Still a long shot to make it do anything, but it's bound to help.
OK, got the card. The middle sized chip on the upper edge turns out
not to be an 80186 or any other processor. It's an Intel C8207 dual port
dynamic ram controller.
The EPROM is an Intel D2764. It has "TEST ROM" written on it in
pencil. It was a bit of a disappointment - first 256

especially without that daughter card, but, waddahell, it's an

VAX code, I'll

Well, auction is over, I didn't bid on it, and I hope someone here got it.
That said, the more I look at it, and the more I look at a true MVII
card the more I wonder just what was missing on this card. A true MVII
has a pair of rather large custom ASICs in the center of the board and I

Does anyone know anything about this card? Especially curious is the
daughtercard connector: is it just for RAM expansion or is the daughtercard
necessary for card operation?
Daughtercard almost looks like a Pro memory board, but those
