Give me some time to dig out the books I got when I bought mine, and
I'll be able to get you the pinouts. Nice features of the ACE 500 is
apparent - programmable function keys, and a numeric keypad added to the
 keyboard. (Personally, I like its look better than the //c as well.)
The only irritating thing about it is that uses floating point basic
instead of integer, so not all Apple // software works on it. Oh, it is
also capable of using IBM printers and monitors as well as Apple. I'll
have to give you the switch configurations for that as well.
