For what it's worth, Dr. Hank Levinson sent me a rather rare 
AE 65816 - 16 Bit card that goes in the Apple IIe - along with
the 'Software Developer's Guide and the AE card - Apple II software
on 5.25" disk.

I'll be making a high quality color JPEG scan of the entire manual,
archiving the software and presenting a blowup color scan of the
AE 65816 - 16 Bit card that goes in the Apple IIe - in the GS 
WorldView June issue online.

This developer card was never released for commercial sale from
Applied Engineering (AE). but, one of the know few developer cards
was auctioned and sold on eBay.com a few months ago, with the
manual and I'd guess the software for it also.

The card, manual and software of this - that I have IS NOT and
never will be offered for sale.  It's destined to be placed online
as I outlined above for reference needs by the general Apple II community.  

It will also eventually be put on public display in a future 'Apple II
Historical Museum' - here in Northern California.

Cheers,
Tom
