OK... I don't have an exact count, but my cards have _two_ sets of
edge fingers, each set *well* over 44 pins, perhaps as many as 100
each.  From what I've been reading, I don't think these are from a TI
990... I would have to guess they are from something older, as the
RAMs are 4kbits, and from what I can tell, the TI 900 is from later
than the 4kbit RAM era.

I guess the next step is to get some pictures online and go from there.

Thanks for the pointers to the TI resources.
