I did a bit of "research" on the HP parts database (most excellent when
trying to identify parts and a great source of amusement wrt/ the prices
that are listed there :-))
The A1659-66001 is described as a PCA-2D color and was/is used with
- Apollo 9000/730
- Apollo 9000/755
- Apollo 9000/735
The full description for this board is:
"Color CRX - 1280 X 1024 2D/3D Wireframe Double-Buffered
8-Plane Graphics Board - for System Graphics Board Slot"
So I would assume they are most likely _not_ DIO-II but SGC boards :-)
BTW: A new one is listed for the all-time low price of 13943.49 DM and a
refurbished one for 914.28. ROTFL.
HTH,
Marc
PS: You may access the HP parts surfer through http://www.tomtech.de.
AFAIK registration is free and - as said above - it's great for
identifying unkown pieces of HP hardware :-)
