Ming Yu,

I think it is just the S370.  There isn't much too it, it is a tiny little
thing that fits between the CPU and PL-PRO/II.  It is soo small that it
seems like a part of the PL-PRO/II.  If you are in Hawaii I have a couple
of these that I am no longer using.  You could check them out if you wanted.

Mahalo,
Dusty
