I have two extra Apple II Workstation Cards that I can sell for $30 each, plus
shipping.  Both are tested and complete with cable assembly, and include a copy of
the User Guide and software on either 3.5" or 5.25" disks.  This is what you need
to put an Apple IIe on an AppleTalk/LocalTalk network to share a LaserWriter or
ImageWriter II/LQ (with LocalTalk option) printer with a IIGS and/or Mac, or
directly access a Mac's hard drive.  If you've got a Mac, this is the cheapest way
to add a hard drive to your IIe, the easiest way to tranfer files between the two
machines, and the only way to get a hard drive volume larger than 32MB on a IIe.
It also emulates a Super Serial Card if you want to use a directly-connected
serial printer (e.g. ImageWriter without LocalTalk option) and still share files
over LocalTalk.  Any questions, let me know.  Thanks!
