This is the oddest thing...

You know, now that I've thought about it, I should have included the other board for comparison, you know? I'll describe it: long and grey. Any help for this would be greatly appreciated! I'm pretty much convinced it's not an Atari board, but what do I know? If you recognize this, please email me!

There are a number off odd things about this board:
  • there are labels but no 'hooks' for the test points.
  • it's green, not grey/silver
  • there is no mention of Atari anywhere, on this board or the audio board or monitor chassis.
  • there is no LED on this board
  • there are more POTs on this board
  • the chips are different
  • the DIPs are different
  • the regulators are attached differently
  • the quality control stamps are missing
  • it looks cheaper - components not attached as nicely
  • when connected to the original harness, the green board doesn't display any picture, and when credited, the P1 button doesn't light as brightly.
  • there is no second edge connector
  • no manufacturer or copyright info anywhere on the board.
