fun fact about Central Point Software: You might have used their software before without realizing it. Microsoft Anti-Virus (which came with MS DOS 6.22) was licensed from them.https://twitter.com/dosnostalgic/status/820295402461114373 …

Apparently there were at least two revisions of the deluxe board, and this is the earlier one. These boards have the same functionality but the later one combines nearly all of the functionality into one big chip.

Since this one doesn't, it's likely that all these chips are simple and still available, and can be easily sourced. The trick would be finding better shots of the PCB so the traces can be mapped out.

and @furrtek has pointed out that what I called a microcontroller is just a gate array. So it definitely makes sense than the two versions of the deluxe board are the same, just the later revision combines a bunch of chips into one. https://www.tvsat.com.pl/pdf/t/tc17gxx_tos.pdf …

and here I am wasting all this time scraping crappy photos off ebay auctions when Jason Scott has high res uploads: http://www.textfiles.com/optionboard/(1985)%20CopyIIPC%20Option%20Board/Photos%20and%20Scans/ …

OK it seems I also made a mistake: The option board went from discrete components to integrated, but the deluxe option board was always integrated. The deluxe option board also upped the speed so that HD media could be copied
