I pretty much agree with everyone. It's been a few years, but I'm 98+% sure the M8291 should work with all DEC branded Documation card readers. I'm still looking for a cable for a few people, but I do have a board if you need one. Please contact me off list. On Wed, Dec 4, 2019 at 11:08 AM

I'm working on a DECpc 425SE right now and I've not been able to find any useful documentation. The laptop seems to work but has a BIOS password set. I suspect that if I remove the button cell then it will forget the password (or at least that's my hope). The main battery comes out.
