Different generation/version of I/O plates?
Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2022 12:12 pm
Hello,
While testing Pulsar II boards in one of my host PCs, I noticed that one of the Pulsar IIs had a different sized I/O plate than the others.
As you can see in the picture, the lower board has a different width than the upper board.
I know the upper board is a PLUS board, and the lower is a "Classic" 20 version, but the other "Classic" boards I have are fitted with an I/O the same width as the PLUS boards AFAIR.
All my Pulsar II boards are v2.01, except for one which is a Scope Project.
Without pulling apart all my machines, I can fairly safely say that I have not seen this "shorter" version board before.
So - is this an older revision I/O plate, or what?
