I've got a keyboard labeled "Executive
Peripheral Systems" copyright
1982. What makes it strange is the cartridges that plug in. This one
has three cartridges that plug into the keyboard along with some
corresponding overlays to identify the funtion keys. The first
cartridge is labeled "Your Program" and is also labeled "BASIC &
DOS."
The second is "BASIC & DOS" for use with the ApplewriterII, and the
third is "BASIC & DOS" for use with Visicalc. The connector looks like
an RJ-11 telephone connector (with 6 connections.) Anyone know what
this thing is? Thanks.
If its for AppleWriter II then my guess would be it was for an Apple ][
and had special keys for making it easier to use Visicalc and perhaps
some editing features for programming in AppleSoft BASIC.
