Mine has the CBM A2052 2M RAM card and the Pacific Peripherals Overdrive SCSI controller card in it. They used to be in Fremont, California but I believe they went out of business a year or two ago. I upgraded the Overdrive to the autobooting version when they made it available and I recently replaced the Subsystem power supply (it fried a transistor after running hot for years) with a used PC power supply from Weird Stuff Warehouse for ten dollars.
