Right now I'm using this checkit 3.0 to debug a
motherboard because I
am trying to get it into turbo mode by keyboard, It's Nec Powermate
386 33i (386dx 33 cached all in one board). What is the key combo
to enable turbo? It's Phoenix bios.
I think Phoenix bioses use Ctrl-Alt-KeypadMinus. Perhaps that's
Ctrl-Shift, and perhaps it's KeypadPlus. This is what I seem to
remember, though.

New subject: Apple questions
Not being an Apple person, what is the major difference between the Apple ][
and the Apple ][+? For probably the first time in my life, I started
playing around with one today. I noticed the motherboard only said Apple ][
on it with no mention of the plus. Is this mainly a difference of when the
boards were made coupled with a different set of ROMs? Also, I have a
language card. Is this card usable on any Apple or only the Plus's? Are
][e cards interchangeable with the +? How does one know which slot to plug
the cards into since I have heard Apple cards are slot sensitive? I can see
why most Apple users don't *want* to know what is inside :).

Briefly, *Most* Apple II cards are not slot-sensitive. If you want to
What can I say. However, listening is not as good as doing when it comes to
retaining information :)!
Most of these questions are answered far more
thoroughly in the very
well-maintained Apple II FAQ:

Great, and thanks for the URL!

Only real functional difference is which set of ROMs were installed. The
Apple ][ came with the Integer ROM set, and the ][+ came with the
Applesoft ROMs. The later Apple ][+ machines also no longer had the
memory jumper blocks to the left of the RAM array.
Also, I have a
language card. Is this card usable on any Apple or only the Plus's?
Either. It plugs into slot 0, and the cable plugs into the upper left
hand corner RAM chip socket (remove the chip first B^} )
Are ][e cards interchangeable with the +?
In most cases, yes.
How does one know which slot to plug
the cards into since I have heard Apple cards are slot sensitive?
Depends a lot on the card. Language card in slot 0, printer card in slot
1, disk controller (usually) in slot 6...
I can see why most Apple users don't *want* to
know what is inside :).
Maybe today... B^}
