I don't know why I forgot about this one, but it was another we lost last year.
Here's all the source material I can remember posting, and some new since then.
Back in February 2021, a seller liquidated what appeared to be the remaining cache of RMA and test cards from the inventory of Sixty Eight Thousand Inc or one of their contractors. It comprised mostly of IIfx SCSI Bolts, Nubus Hurricane coprocessors, Quadra PDS Bolts, and a different i860 based card from 'Team ASA.' There was also a Quadra 800, which I sincerely regret passing by due to the potential software it may have retained.
(If you purchased a Quadra 800 from eBay seller 'autoex209' in February or March 2021 AND it contained a hard drive with data AND you retained an archive of that data, you may make my year!)
I kept pictures of all sold cards in this imgur album:
As I won the first few cards, the seller graciously offered to send a 'binder of related documenation' which turned out to be packed with juicy internal stuff. I've procrastinated on scanning this with a legitimate scanner, but I'll attach the phone camera versions I posted last time for now.
As far as my collection of hardware sits, I have:
• A pair of IIfx SCSI Bolts (one ROM marked DashTalk II Version 1.0B, the other handwritten as v3.0.2; both ROMs had the same checksum.)
• One 040 PDS Bolt (ROM marked RAID Warrior v1.0, handwritten BAD, but this card works the best of all so far; actually mounts drives and is bootable.)
• A Nubus Hurricane Rev A (missing the Mach220 at U13, the crystal oscillator, the i860 and 82495, SIMMs and Nubus bracket)
• A Team ASA board with one of the serial ports populated
The ROMs from my three SCSI PDS cards are attached.
I'm going to post my progress testing in a reply below to cut down on noise in the top post.
