Yes, this is for the //e. It is the 1 meg slinky memory board. ProDos will
automatically recognize it as a 1 meg ram disk in whatever slot it is in. Appleworks will
also
use it automatically, as will a few other programs.
It is great for file transfers, since there is no delay waiting for a physical drive.
Very useful.
You guys made me pull the top off my //e to check the card. I just couldn't take it
any more.

Well that sounds right . . . but it is full of 4164 chips, and a couple
of 41256's I guesstimated that it was 256k. If it were 1 meg it would
be all 256k x 1 chips.
I'll do some research and see exactly what is going on here.
