Chips:
[',' means newline on the chip]

4x	AM79C940AKC,3508MHR
2x	CY7B174,-14JC 9352,CYP 006182
1x	NCR 0391112,SUN 100-3722-01,GR02009,N9404
1x	AM27C256,-200JC,409CK6V

I'd guess that the AM79C940 and NCR chips are the significant ones.

Thanks.  Its an sbus card.

If I can get one to try I'll let you know.
