You need an Apple ][ Profile card. But I'm as much in the dark about the
cable as you...

Any other cards under the front panel? It may have been fitted with
an AppleTalk or 32K Print bufer, which can cause problems on the Apple ][.

Eh? 14.4 Performa Modem. Do you mean GeoPort, or the card which fits the 
Communication slot in 52/53/62/63 type machines? Or is it something else?
GeoPort won't work on the IIgs, for certain, same for the CommSlot modem.
