Mimic Systems Card Info?



'ello,

it probly is a II+ on a card.... Mimic used to make an expansion chassis for
the c64
to make it apple // combatable... i have never owned one i just remember
having to look
at them in commie mags when i used to be a die hard plus 4 user.... i think
they were
599 for the whole machine it was a big box that looked like a c64 but bigger
(and no 
keyboard on top ;') the ad had a mime in it holding the box.... and i remember thinking
why would anyone buy this when you can get a used apple for a hundred more...

Hi;

I recently picked up a box of old Apple II interface cards. There are
several that I can not identify, however I am just asking about one card.

I am looking for help in identifying one card. The description follows.

Description of major features: 

Starting from the centre, there are two square chips. One is  labeled
Mimic Systems 854002 ATG Electronics (c) 1985 8543. The other is  labeled
Mimic Systems 854003 ATG Electronics (c) 1985 8542. To the right of these
is a EPROM labeled Char. Gen. (c) 1985. Next are two sets of 3-pin
jumpers. Below this is a chip labeled R6502P R6502-II 8435. 

On the left of center are three ribbon cables from 16-pin DIP sockets on
the board to 16-pin female connectors that look like smaller versions of
the Disk II cable. The sockets are labeled Game (Game port?), Key
(Keyboard?), and Stuff.  There is another 3-pin jumper. Above this is a
bank of eight 64k memory chips (KM4164A-15). At the top is another 16-pin
DIP socket (empty) labeled RAM Exp.

The card almost seems like an Apple II+ on a card. 

Any help with ID-ing this card would be appreciated.
