MODCOMP/Motorola 84-W8550B01D VME SCSI Controller Board, MVME 327A, 01-W3550B

Description

MODCOMP/Motorola 84-W8550B01D VME SCSI Controller Board
For sale- a Motorola 84-W8550B01D VME SCSI Controller Board.
Actually I guess Motorola took the time to trademark VMEmodule so I ought to throw that in there as well.
This board was pulled from a MODCOMP rack, as you can see it has a MODCOMP logo on the lower removal ear or whatever you call it.
But as you can also see the board itself is marked Motorola.
So presumably Motorola made the board and MODCOMP put their logo on it, as well as SCSI on the upper removal ear where the Motorola model number would normally go.
Which makes it tough, I couldn’t find a single reference to the W8550 part number anywhere.
I finally searched another number on the board, 01-W3550B and in one place that cross referenced to the Motorola MVME 327A.
Hopefully that is correct as I could not find another reference to corroborate that.
I would say probably a safe bet it is a SCSI controller, but you should do your own homework relative to any intended application.
I am pretty sure I have more than one of these so if you need multiples please let me know.
UPDATE: in another VME rack from the same lot I have come across the same board with the Motorola markings still on it, MVME 327A.  First picture is of the Modcomp SCSI board, the rest are from the board marked Motorola MVME 327A.  If you pay the asking price I will ship the Motorola board, an accepted offer would get shipped a board marked Modcomp.
Untested, sold as is, and NO warranty is offered.
However, IF you pay the asking price and find it has a problem you cannot live with within 14 days of receipt you may return it.
Returns are ONLY allowed on Buy It Now Purchases.
Accepted Best Offers are strictly an as is sale, no returns allowed.
Return would be for a refund of the purchase price, not including shipping costs.
Just so that we are clear on that, this is an item that has not been thoroughly tested.
As such it may work fine or it may have problems, so any purchase entails a certain degree of risk.
If you Buy It Now your risk is limited to the shipping costs both ways.
If you submit an offer you do so knowing that you cannot return it.
In either case it is up to you to decide whether the risk level is acceptable to you, and if not you need to pass on this particular item.

Potential buyers are asked to please make sure you have read the listing carefully, and understand what you are buying.
Ebay’s condition codes for used items, which I am now required to select from, might imply a degree of functionality that my limited time, knowledge, and facilities do not allow me to ascertain.
If the functional condition of the item is known it will be stated as such in the listing.
Unless a warranty is specifically offered returns are not accepted regardless of any implied functionality.
Payment is expected within 7 days of the close of the sale and I need to hear from you within 3 days to confirm the transaction.
Please add .99 for shipping anywhere in the continental US.
International shipments, plus
Alaska
and
Hawaii
for actual shipping costs plus .
Ebay (in their infinite wisdom) forces me to include a “Handling Time” in the listing which they then factor into the delivery time.
As a default I use 5 days to allow for the worst case scenario, which would be that I am out of town when you buy and then can’t find the item when I get home.
In most cases I ship the next business day after payment is made, and sometimes things even go out the same day.
I’m just not willing to commit to that timeframe for every transaction.
