Does anyone know which manuals came with an Apple Super Serial

serial number on my I is 252004.  The part number is 825-0568-A. 
The serial number on my II is 2062156.  The model number is

numbers off the manuals. ....

An Apple2 joystick circuit is pretty simple. The only parts are a 
couple 150k Ohm linear pots, one or two push-button switches, and 
one or two resistors (470 Ohms to 680 Ohms each).

     Super Serial Card switch setting and other info has been 
posted on this newsgroup a few times in the past. I do not know 
what the manual looks like. If the SSC manual is similar to the 
one supplied with the Apple II Communications Interface Card, then 
you will get thorough documentation including commands, a ROM 
listing, and schematic diagram.

     Imagewriter II comes with a User's Manual; (probably, so does 
IW-I). The User's Manual supplies a lot of detail relating to 
commands and pretty good info about the Dip Switches. The pin-out 
of the circular mini-socket is listed; but, there is no schematic 
diagram or parts list. You may be able to get an IW-I and/or IW-II 
diagram at a local electronic parts seller by purchasing the Sams 
Photfacts for the printer (assuming one exists).
