Re: An unusual Apple II card...

[m-rendon@USA.NET]

Sorry I don't have an answer for the previous post, but I have
a related question.  I have searched all of the Apple 2 archives I
could find and can not get any info on a card.

This card is an "Adaptive Peripherals Inc." G32 Adaptive firmware card
rev D.  Dated 1988.  It has  two connectors on the card that hook to two
cables that run to a switch box.  The switch box has a single switch, a
red led, two headphone type connectors labeled sw-1 and sw-2 and another
36 pin input/output connector on it.  Does anyone know what this card
might be used for?
