I just picked up an AppleII and 2 FDDs with a bunch
of add-ons
at a local thrift store. The only Apple I have explored is my Mac+.
Anyone able to identify the cards ?
Grapple+ Printer Interface......... Serial, Parallel ??
A very nice parallel printer interface with a 64K buffer.
Multiflex Tech ...Long card with kludged cable to an
RCA male
connector and another to a clothes-pin chip staddler labelled
AP TC/14. Two labelled chips "Firmware" and "Char. Gen." (imagine
this is a video card of some sort.)
An 80-column card (Apple ][ and ][+ computers came stock with 40 columns).
CableTV kludge to a "SUP 'R' MOD CH.33
TV Interface Unit ??
This enabled Apple to comply the FCC requirements for a Class ? computing
device. This means you did in fact get an Apple ][ and not a ][+. Very
nice find, especially for a thrift store.
It also has what I imagine is stock Ext. video (single
RCA) and
cassette (2 mini-pin i/o )
Correct. The RCA is for a monochrome monitor. The two 1/8" phone plugs
are for reading/writing data from/to cassette, as well as digitizing audio
(ask if you're interested).
