Hi people
Does anyone know how to identify whether a pulsar2 card is classic or plus?
I have a pulsar2 card, a "Classic 20 Cable" and a "PLUS Cable" and I dont remember
which i/o went with this card.
Any help much appreciated, be your best friend, etc, etc, etc.
Cheers Lazaman.

Hey Gary, thanks for the reply, I did read that before but I havn't got another
card to reference against (three others in Holland, I'm in England! Doh!)
Do you know where the chip is located on the plate? Maybe I can see it.
Thanks again, Lazaman.

how did you figure it out?
personally, i know where to look, but it's been a LONG time. i could never describe where the chip is by memory. it might help others in the future to see the solution.

Here's a picture of a Classic I/O (left) and a Plus I/O (right). Two extra caps on the Plus.

And a voltage/current regulator too, from what it looks like.

i would say its a balancing ic as it has balanced i/o plus the extra dc blocking caps

yep, you can see the extra ic on the corner and another towards the middle. the one towards the middle has an extra cap.
