Your comments are consistent with what I found after using your earlier
email as a criteria. My documents are clearly labeled 89a but do not have
the small circuit card attached to the back of the crt - it's attached via
wires and physically mounted next to the larger video board onthe main
chasssis. So no help. The document package did include complete manuals
and schematics for the Z-89-37 disk controller as well as several Magnolia
products schematics. Are those needed?
