It's the only card of the bunch besides the ROM
programmer (which I also
have) that I recognize.
yep - someone's found the user manual for me (complete with details on how to
hack the card to work with 27128 chips - ahhh, the good old days of computing!)
luckily everything the card needs is in ROM so I'm not missing any software for
it. Hope it still works, I could certainly make use of it!
This is truly one cool lot of Apple cards.
I have a lot more too, but most of them are more common - disk interfaces, SSC
cards, Epson printer interfaces etc. There's four different audio cards too I
think, three of which are homebrewed and one which has four 40-pin ICs on it;
I'm yet to identify that last one.
Unfortunately no SCSI or network controllers (so far anyway!) - that would have
been nice :-)
I'm still to see what I've left in the machines themselves but they're way
too
buried to get at presently. I know both my ProFile interface boards are in the
Apple /// but other than that I don't know.
really like to know what the IC Tester does (though I
think it's pretty
obvious ;)
Well I did a search via deja/google and someone managed to get hold of the
software a couple of years back, so it might be floating around somewhere.
That IC tester and the programmer could probably do useful work for me; I just
need to hook one of the Apple systems up to the PC somehow so it can
communicate with the outside world. Probably be via serial, but if I had a SCSI
card in the Apple in theory it could share a SCSI bus with the PC would would
be interesting :) (I've only ever seen that done between two identical modern
SGI boxes - not between hardware with a 20 year time difference!)
