Tha AST Vision Plus is a video digitizer. Lets you take a sceen shot 
from a video cource such as a VCR or video camera. Had a lot of fun 
with that card. 
The CMS SCSI card is generally considered to be one of the worst SCSI 
cards for the Apple II. It was my first SCSI card and I replaced it 
very shortly. I don't think I ever found out what all of those 48 jumpers 
did.  I prefer the Ramfast over the Apple cards but a lot of people like 
the Apple Hi-Speed SCSI card.
