Version: 2.0A

Status: ok

Notes

 
Please track this and later revisions on the ultrabus github page.
 
This board works for CS/A cards. Apple II cards (as far as they are supported) should work, this has been tested with a super serial card.

Version: 1.0A

RC2014 also works but mostly in Slot 6.1 with /MREQ and /IOREQ qualified with Phi2. It seems more RC2014 than anticipated need this. The next revision will have all slots with qualified /MREQ and /IOREQ.
