Re: Yet another Mystery board

Oh, I know that. The reason I said 'has a 26-pin connector directly on the
card, like the old disk ][' was because I was trying to make the imagery
of the pins jutting directly off of the card at a 90 degree angle from it,
but couldn't think of a technical term. I should have broken it up more
between '26-pin' and 'like old disk ][' But yeah, I am missing the
cable...but I know for a fact now that it is parallel. Now, to find the
cable...somehow.
Of course, now that I think about it, every Apple II card I can think of
had a plug on the board, and then a cable with the plug on the other end
to attach to the back. I was just thinking in my mind at the time to
differentiate from cards which had the correct port directly on the rear
of the card (you know, like NuBus, PDS, ISA, etc.)
