It appears to be a REV C board. It is socketed for full RAM plus it has
two serial ports, one which I have verified is functional. The other one
is missing a 2.4576 MHz crystal (there are supposed to be two on this board).
I suspect the missing socketed chip is the 74123 since pins other than 7,8,
and 14 have traces running to them.
% The ethernet software takes up 5 floppys, and SHOULD come with a

Ugggh. Well, I don't seem to have inherited the floppies or the manual.
However, right now, I mainly just want to check out the board and see
if it even works in the first place. Is there a diagnostic floppy for
it? Could I get someone to mail me the diagnostic via email or floppy?
Also, what is required to connect it to a 'thin' ethernet system?
% Did you get more than one of the ethernet boards and/or the tape
%boards?
Nope. However, I have a friend who might be able to 'find' some more
stuff. I'll check into it.
I have a DOS-73 card complete with all manuals and software that I bought
some time ago. I haven't used it that much lately. What is the current
going price for the beast? I might part with it for the right price...
