self-switching buffered box that connected SuperSerial cards from up to
5 IIe's to the same ImageWriter II printer, though I recall hearing you
could get up to 7 working connections with a little effort.
On the IIgs and the Mac, it used ports (PCs were also supported).
Made by PaceMark and available through various Apple hardware dealers of
the day. Cost about $600 IIRC, for 5 connections and 512K.
The card you have is a buffer for the box.
Thanks for the info. Tony was mostly right after all ;)
Have any idea what the box looks like so I can keep an eye out for it?
