Folks, this is quick 'n very feelthy look at the NCR BAM-BAM.
It uses a non-IBM compatible 22-pin AVE extension. NCR deemed the
standard 20-pin extension unsuitable, so they tossed on a pin-pair...
Hold my beer...
What [and where] is the ADF for this?
Please don't point to an *.EXE format archive, Win7 will not open it. WinImage can't do anything about it.
Either the files themselves, or an *.IMG archive...
The mighty Casey has struck out. Snapped the bat. Lost the game.
After consulting with MAJ Tom, the diagnosis is that the BAM-BAM is "Leaverite" as in "Leave 'er right there".
We know RS/6000 cards are problematic, but at least the adapter's MCA signals, power, and grounds are where Chet Heath [PBUH!] ordained them.
There is a strong chance that NCR walked on the wild side.
It's probably best to let this sleeping dragon be.-a However, if you
become determined to throw more good money after bad, that NCR 3420 1210 system is still available on eBay
(https://www.ebay.com/itm/326307772353).-a If in your MADness you bought
it, then fixed the known power supply issue, then fixed however many
unknown issues that it has, you'd probably find that the BAM-BAM
wouldn't like it anyway, if your luck is like mine.
I'm just saying, not suggesting.

It isn't my adapter. I don't have one -or- ANY BAM-BAMs.
It does not appear to be a Clarity I -OR- II.
