How to tell a SCC-1 from a SCC-1B?

[kreats]

I have 3 SCC-1 cards and am wondering how to tell if these are SCC-1B cards or not. I guess the only difference is the rom chip (I don't have the manuals for these)- but I can't find any way of  discriminating between the two versions from the markings on the board.  Anyone have an idea about this?

Also, anyone know where to get some mini din midi cables for these?

I answered this question in this thread:

If you lived in the US, or knew anybody who lives in the US, then these will do fine:

Fortunately, the mini-din cables are still used by the Sound Blaster Audigy and X-Fi, so contact Creative's Tech Support in Australia and see whether they can send you replacement cables.

cool.. well reading the thread then I'm not sure the question was answered. You seem to be theorising that SCC-1 boards marked SCC-1A have the SC-55 MK II sample set - but did you actually find out if this was so?

None of mine are marked SCC-1A anyway - so I think they must be vanilla SCC-1 cards.

hmm $7USD for each cable? ouchie.
