Laser 3000

[ds_spen@pavo.concordia.ca (SPENCE, DOUGLAS S)]

Greetings!  I'm hoping someone out there has some information on an
interesting semi-Apple-compatible system I've come across, called the
Laser 3000.

The most important question is:  How to I connect a disk drive to this thing?
It does have two 72-pin connectors, one labeled "System Bus" which is male,
and another that is hidden behind a plastic cover and is female.

What is the pinout of the RS232 and Printer ports?

What is the pinout of the RGB and tape ports?

And lastly:  What is the syntax for the unusual commands that come up when
I hit the function keys?  (SOUND DEF, SOUND TEMPO, SOUND, DRAW CIRCLE, etc.)

I used a generic (Microcom) Apple ][+ clone in the mid 80's, but never
followed it after that, and never played with anything newer than a //e.  Are
the ports the same as those on a IIc?  Does the IIc have this (what seems to
be) 3-voice sound chip with noise generator?

Any info would be appreciated.  The Laser 3000 seems to be very well built,
with an excellent keyboard, and I'm itching to make it useful.
