Well I guess that eliminates the regular Joy or paddles. Ever run across the
6 blade one like on this machine ? I'm curious what it was for. The previous
owner had obviously spent a lot of effort on it. It was loaded with boards and
he'd added some homemade plexi plates for copy and disks on the cover.

What was the original game plug on the A-IIs ? On my A-II+ I have a socket
A 16 pin DIL socket (like an IC socket). The Apple paddles were joined up
to a DIP header which invariably gained a few bent pins after a couple of
insertions/removals :-).
I think the //e also has a DE9 connector on the back carrying a subset of
the signals, enough for a pair of paddles or a joystick. I believe
there's still the 16 pin DIL socket inside.
