Hello all,
I am looking for a dead / broken / non-functional CompatiCard IV (by Micro Solutions).

Yes, I am very well aware how much working cards go for on eBay. The last model IV in nice condition sold for $375, and previously one in rough shape went for $177. (And most of us have probably seen the listings by the nut-jobs asking ridiculous amounts for CompatiCard I’s that will never sell.)

Anyway, I am looking for a DEAD card. I don’t care if chips are blown, parts are missing, or if you ran over it with your truck…

DM me if you have such a card.

Thanks!
 
Hope you find one! Just be aware that security links on the PLD chips are blown and they cannot be read out by conventional means. I've already been part way down this path (pulled the chip from a working unit that is not for sale).

Thanks, I am aware the security bit/fuse is blown on the GAL chips. (It was very standard procedure to do so once a design moved into production.)
 
Sergey’s card is great, I just prefer period correct hardware whenever possible.

### SCAM ALERT: ###

Some douchebag that goes by the username “WhitePrinter” contacted me via DM (he did not reply here in the public forum), and asked me to contact his friend “Dave” who he said has such a card. I emailed Dave and he replied back with a picture of the card and we negotiated a reasonable price. Everything seemed so legit that I actually went to pay via PayPal, but the transaction would not go through. The email that then followed, totally gave away that it was a scam attempt…
