Mystery Card In Apple II+
I have a mystery card in my Apple II+.
It is in Slot 4. It has a white board, and the only markings on it are
as follows:
On the lower right corner on the front, it says
SL5B
Rev A
On the lower left corner on the back, it says
SL5A
Rev A
(these are on the board itself)
There are 7 smaller chips with 14 pins, one slightly larger chip with 20
pins, and one large chip with 24 pins. This last has a sticker on it
with this handwritten note:
ISI (or, unclear) I8I (those are the letter i, not the
number 1)
2 2
The wiring is very simple. When I type "PR#4" in Dos 3.3, it gives me a
screen full of black-on-white astericks, and does nothing else.
I haven't seen this card in any other Apple II+ computers before. My
wife got this computer sometime in high school (about 6-7 years ago).
Any ideas on what this card might be would be appreciated. It's just a
little question that's bothered me for awhile...
One last thing; on the keyboard, there is a sticker that says "This
Computer is supercharged with Microsoft Mach 10!" but I've been told this
was something for the IBM, so is probably a red herring.
Please e-mail me at flodin@seanews.akita.com
or if that bounces, post. Thank you!
Oh, yes; I loaded ProDos 1.1.1 on, and did it's slot check thing, and it
said that slot #4 was "occupied". (which was a big help =) )
