From my own experience, I feel every product Applied Engineering
made for the Apple IIgs was a flop. The only expection to this would
be the AE Audio Animator, but then, even that had a few minor quirks.
On the flip-side, AE's 8-bit Apple II product line was fantastic by
contrast! While my Apple IIgs continues to be "AE-free" (minus the AA),
my Apple IIe has a Phasor, Parallel Pro, RamWorks and DataLink card to
name a few. Perhaps AE thought based on their excellence and reputation
with past products, they could be sloppy with the design of Apple IIgs
products, as people would blindly purchase anything with the AE-name?
