Help identify cards

[Mike Ulman <mulman@cco.caltech.edu>]

Hi,

I am a //c owner since I got one in Jr. High (Jan. 1986). Recently I got a
hold of two ][+ machines. I got one running but the other powered up once
and after a game of Star Blazer won't power up any more. It looks like the
power supply is dead because using the power from the other ][+ makes this
motherboard work OK. Anyhow, the two have different cards inside and I was
hoping someone would help me ID some of them: 

"Language Card"
This card was in slot 0 of one of the computers and plugs into the memory
board. I guess this is the 16K ram upgrade to 64K.

"Saturn Ram Card" from Titan Technologies, Inc.
I presume this also is a ram card. This as in the other ][+. Its only
about half full of chips and though also found in slot 0, it has no
connections to the memory on the mother board (the spot where the card
above plugs in is occupied by a chip). What is this card? Can it go to
128K?

"Epson APL Board"  This is a printer card. It has a cable that fits a
parallel printer. I can just hook it up to a parallel printer and pr#1
will print to the printer. Any info on how to get it to print graphics
like the Grappler C used to do?

"SUP'R'MOD II Ch. 32-34 TV Interface Unit" by M & R Enterprises, Sunnyvale
This little board with two RCA jacks, one on the board and one off a
little box on the board, connects to a four prong connector on the
motherboard behind the monitor connector. Is this an RF modulator? How
does one hook up a TV to the RCA jack (I can hook up the monitor connector
on the TV to the monitor connector on the Apple so whats this gadget
for?).

"Micromodem II" from Hayes
Its a card with a 10 pin (one blocked out) cable going nowhere. I presume
this is just a serial card, not a modem. Does it look up to a modem? To an
accoustic coupler? I bet its 300 baud at most. 

Any help in identifying any of this stuff appreciated.

Anyone ever hear of someone sticking an XT motherboard inside the ][+
case? I think it'd be an interesting endeavor.

Thanks.

Mike
