Mac is a Mac LC, the card has no identifying marks other than
it's from Apple and it's a "Apple IIe Card". It has a real funny
connector
on it. Any ideas?

It's an Apple IIe on a card. You probably need the software to make it run.
Incidentally, the card only works with the LC as far as I know.
The connector may be for adding a 5 1/4" disk drive.

It's an Apple IIe emulator. The connector is for a 5.25" disk drive. The
software is at
ftp://ftp.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/US/Apple_II/F…
cintosh/ and if you search... AAAAAAAAHHH!!! What happened to the TIL and
everything? Damn, I hate Steve Jobs. He's ruining Apple. I mean, I like the
G4 and B&W G3 and the iMac and iBook and all, but ruining the web site,
killing the Newton and turning Apple into Microsoft is too much for me. Be
glad that the old software is still available. If you have the
resources(big extra hard drives, tape drives, etc...), archive everything.
Because when you need it the most, it WILL be gone.
Damn, I'm getting depressed.
WHY!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RUIN APPLE!!
But I'll always have my 8088 DOS machines...
Anyways, I've never really seen the point of the Apple IIe card. Maybe
that's because I have the real thing... I've played around with that card
before and it never really worked for me. Maybe because I didn't have the
drive that goes with it... Kinda useless without it.

[What happened to the TIL?]
Not sure - I janked a load of useful crap about the LC from it last night...
It seemed to be OK...
I ponked a few links under the support area to get to it.

Well, did you mention the Newton Killer guy - 'cause he was also
'somewhat' responsible for cutting of the A2 series - and the A2e
Card was just the last step into forcing schools to use Macs
instead of A2s - an LC with the card could still use the old A2
soft, but it's a Mac. And you don't need the drive for all
stations if you had one to copy the Disk onto a networkdrive.
Thats exactly the idea behind - the only problem was, if schools
where forced to switch (No new A2s), they eventualy did just drop
Apple at all and changed for PCs - in fact, the A2e card was already
a reaction to this to maybe keep some within the Apple family, since
originaly there was just the LC, and no A2e card ...
Anyway, I bought one via eBay, and it'S a nifty pice to play around.
Gruss

As people said, its a IIe on a card. NOTHING fits directly to the
connector, it needs a Y adapter cable to allow a joystick/game controler
and a floppy drive (only a couple specific drives work).
So whats good about it?
It will use the resources of the LC, and that can be just about any model
that supports the LC PDS slot. That means you get a IIe that can use the
hard drive and floppy, appletalk, serial, etc. ports of the host machine.
When you do find the adapter cable and floppy drive it makes a pretty nice
"conversion" station, plus the whole thing is smaller etc. than a real IIe.
I found one, paid no attention to it, sold it, and in the process of
answering the questions of the buyer had to read the manual and decided I
really wanted one for myself. Now I just need to find another darn cable.
