I have a Super Controller, a couple SC IIs, the MPROM adapter, and a 
couple 4-in-1 boards.  While it's been a few years since I've tried to 
use any of the Mini-Expansion-Bus (MEB) expansion boards, I'm pretty 
sure that all Disto's MEB devices are intended to work in both the Super 
Controller and the (No-halt) Super Controller II.
