The N8036701B card has two paper adhesive labels. One I believe is for the Serial Number, and the other is the Part Number.
Curiously the A cards have a what appear to be a lot numbers printed on the long side of the cards (8566-10 0111). The last 8 numerals vary from card to card. The N8036701B I have here has no lot number printed on it anywhere.
I wonder if Ricoh was writing their own ID/signature data to the later cards.
I realize now this is for most purposes obsolete technology.
A couple musical manufacturers I service product for still use PCMCIA cards. One of them still uses the Mitsubishi Melcard for a legacy product. The other used Seiko-Epson OTProm cards, of which I have a small bundle.
Tossing some additional thoughts out there.
