simmons and many others, but: Not the original clap trap :-(.

So THAT'S what that card is called; the 20-85 card. I have read about
the resonance being replaced with the prom select control when that
daughter board is placed onto the original card. I remember asking
about that four-prommed SDS7 card and what it did before in this
group after I just saw one on eBay.

Thanks for telling me more about that.
