The keyboards are not as good as the II+. I have quite a few Unitron cards.
Mainly copies of the Grappler and Epson APL card/s. If anyone has some spare
2708 EPROMs I'd like to hear from them. The first APL cards used 2708s and as
2708s are now long obsolete I am forever scavenging 2708s wherever I can find
them. I have EPROM programmers for both the PC and Apple II plus the EPROM
dumps from every Apple and card I can lay my hands on. So if anyone out there
needs an EPROM burnt... My best so far is a 27128 with both enhanced and
unenhanced IIe ROMs in them using the pound switch to change between the
chipsets. This idea came from Windfall - a British Apple II publication.
