It is plain 2 I guess :-(
I bought it from Retroguru.eu in october 2022.
I guess I'll try to modify the connections for IC6 to match the rev 2B...

Yeah that one will not work with buffers. IC6 has a bug that was fixed. However its not unreasonable to be sold that card as it works perfectly well as it was sold to you. Its just one of the very first batch of rev2s. There is a thread on this site somewhere with the mods needed. Its just a case of shorting something to VCC.

Here is the link to where the mod for early rev2 (non-b's) is.

TL;DR

Lift pin 1 (DIR) on IC6 and connect the lifted pin to pin 2 (VCC)
