Odd LC II Motherboard
Posted by: belgaonkar on 2017-05-28 17:47:13 Piggy backing on the other "odd" motherboard posts, Ive found an LCII board at the flea that is missing some of regular LCII markings. Firstly, the 4 main ICs have hand written tags on them. I haven't seen an LCII with these type of stickers. Secondly, the motherboard's serial number sticker doesn't say the normal "LCII 4MB" it has the part number 630-0079-B Finally, some of the other chips are of a different brand. The board in question has Motorola chips for DRAM whilst the production board does not. This board does work (although It needs a recap) and the system recognizes it as an LCII. Any Ideas?

Posted by: belgaonkar on 2017-05-29 08:58:41 Interesting. A google image search of LCII motherboard doesn't yield any pictures of a board with the stickers and the lack "LCII 4MB"
