Anyone seen this quadboard before?

I've googled and found refferances to quadram quadboards, Im looking for the switch settings.

Its a Silver9006 , Silver Quadboard.

I found http://www.lemmus.eu/th99/i/P-R/52510.htm , but its not the same thing, half as many banks and 2 switch blocks. And.. that monstrocity hanging off of it, looks like it used to clip to the back of a PC style chassis?
I also found http://www.computercraft.com/docs/quad.html but again, not the same thing. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I believe that the jumpers in the quad.html link will work, since it addresses all the features you have on the board and only wants where to start the 0n-card memory and not how MUCH memory is on the card.

Yes, that bracket did clip over the back of the chassis before you put the case top back on.

It clips on to the back of the chassis and hangs above the card slots. However, I found that with anything other than an IBM CGA card it gets in the way of the display connector.

It looks like it has a serial connector on the card, and your Mono display adaptor will have parallel. So you can simply disable the ones on the expansion and remove it.

Damn card burned up, popped a cap after I turned on the machine. Im going to try transplanting the chips from this card in to the sixpak.

 

[JDT]

realising the sixpak I have was made for 64k chips.. could it handle different types?

 

[JDT]

disregard, they were 64k chips, strange that the addon quadram would only add 192k of ram, after popping a cap on the quadram, I put the chips in the sixpakplus, I now have 512k of stable ram yay! Maybe IU can debug the final 2 banks and get the fully 640k...

You will probably find that you could also fit 256kB RAM chips into the Quadcard, giving you the 384kB (or more).
