MECC Comp Inspector

 Stephen Buggie let the beans talk:

 BUE(| MECC COMPUTER INSPECTOR APPLE II
 BUE(| This disk has a "Machine Identification" program that tells you
     | the version of Apple IIe/IIc/IIc+/IIgs, the amount of memory you
     | have, and _especially_ it identifies all of the interface cards
     | in your slots. Considering the thousands of A2 interface cards
     | ever produced, this disk does an impressive job.

True... but it's not perfect.  Neither MECC-CI nor SlotScan 1.62
recognise the Epic 2400 internal modem in my machine, and where SlotScan
will tell me that the Xebec SASI card for my 10 meg Sider in slot 7 is a
"Semi-intelligent drive card" and how the drive is partitioned (or if no
drive is connected, tell how big the partitions can be), the MECC-CI
just says "unknown."  SlotScan should be available on cco.caltech.  (And
a hearty hello to Bob Claney if you're still out there...  :) )

The card in question, a "preproduction" number, probably won't be ID'd
by either program, however.  Worth a shot though.  More Info On Card!!!
