Redundant posting titles:
Diamond Pak Rev 2 multi IO card info please
Wanted: switches and jumper config info sources
switches and jumpers are driving me NUTS!
>
So here I am with this old 8 bit card that offers
to do it all, video, parallel, game, serial, & floppy.
It even looks to have a clock from the telltale
button battery.
I would love to put this thing into service but
it has a 6 place sw1, and an 8 place sw2,
not to mention the plethora of jumpers.

What would you do?
>
I would like to find an ftp location that
contained volumes of arcane manuals for
stuff like this.
>
Or: who was this thing made by, and do they still
exist?
>
Or: if you have a personal library that includes such
valuable reference material then you probably have so much
stuff that you can never find anything.  But if you can, I'd love
a copy.
>
I know this is not a unique problem, and some discussion
on the net about locating outdated information might be
helpful.
>
I'll post this challenge in a few places under differing titles
to try and scare up some useful discussion.
