I have an 14” x 8.5” Apple 6502 Circuit board. It has an Apple Logo, with 1978 under logo. It has 3 rows of 8 8040016 16K DRAM, 8 ROM chips, a backplane with 8 (not 7) card connectors, arrows drawn between the connectors, rows labeled A- K from bottom up, a 2N3904 transistor next to the Color Trim Cap, but no prototyping area. I think it may be a replica.. Any thoughts?

All Apple II/II+ motherboards had 8 slots.
Some did have prototyping areas but most didn’t.
Everything sounds like a II/II+.
To the left of the ROM chips there should be the motherboard revision. Should be something like 320-0044-D or 320-0001-07 or a dozen others.
A pic would aid greatly

8 slots is OK, as the II and II Plus had slots numbered 0 to 7. But wow, I
wonder what the memory map is like with 16K of ROM.

The standard II and II Plus motherboard only had 6 ROM slots for 12K total
ROM.

That was the only thing that was odd - 6 ROM sockets is normal for a
II/II+. Pics or it didn't happen.

Sounds like an original Apple II or II+ motherboard. I haven't seen
one of these "in the flesh", only in pictures, so I'm not sure whether
that's what you have there. But it certainly sounds like one of these.
The Apple II came out in '77, and I think the II+ came out in '78, so
this is likely a II+.

Does it have memory configuration jumper blocks on the left side at the end of each row of RAM chips? If so it is likely a II. The ||+ did away with the jumper blocks and hardwired them for 16K RAM chips. Some of the early ||+ machines continued to use the older revision mother board with the blocks.. The ||+ came with 16, 32, or 48K RAM for this reason while the II could have any combination of 4K and 16K rows. It had to do with the price of one 16K chip dropping in price to below what 4 4K chips would cost about the time the + came out.

Also, all Apple II’s and II+’s had SIX ROM sockets, not eight. Clones
imitated a lot, but I never saw one with a (counterfeit) Apple logo/label.
