Apple ][ disk/game server

If I remember correctly, Amplus always used red coaxial cables to distinguish themselves from the competition who all used black. I don't remember them selling Apple II boards, only for PCs. Perhaps this prototype never reached the product stage? Alexandre, about the 188 processor: it was just an 8088 with some peripherals built in (like the iAPX186 was the 8086 with the same devices). Unfortunately, this chip was designed before the IBM PC became important so it used different addresses for the same funcionas (timers, dmas, interrupt controllers). You could build a DOS machine with this, but not a PC clone so it didn't last very long in the market. If this board has a reasonable amount of memory, then it actually is a more powerful computer than its Apple II host. -- Jecel
