Ithink that all cards are tradable between a 40 and 70.  However, there
is a swappable prom on either the FEP, paddle, or IO card that describes
the hardware (maybe including the disks).  I think that you must swap
that chip if yoy swap the boards even between the same model machines.

I'm posting this to slug so that, if I'm out of my mind, a more
knowledgable sluger can correct what I`ve said.  If I'm on the
right track, maybe someone will tell you where the prom is.
