Recently I was looking at the inside of one of my 800s and couldn't help but wonder about the numbering scheme Atari used...

The main circuit board on the 800 is labeled with a "1", the power supply board with a "2", the OS and personality cards with "4" and "5" respectively and the 16K memory board with "11"

Where and/or what is board "3" ? Are other memory board sizes labeled using "6" to "10" ?

At the expense of sounding like I'm talking to myself, I found board #3 - it's the original 8K RAM card for the 800! Thanks to Claus for his photos in this thread.

By the way, does anyone have an 8K memory card for sale?
