Re: Info on some Apple // cards?

  Marcus,

    At u3 = SSI 263 AP
                   S8601

    At u4 (BUF0) = hm6264LP -15
                                  U0422880

    At u5 (BUF1) = DS1216 -
                                  8702

    Then it goes to C12 and I think that's some kind of ROM for it has
a window in the middle.  Should I cover this?

Then there is a big chip in the lower left that says = MOSTEK  TC8650

   The card has a wire going to the speaker, to J18 on the mother
board, and the joystick port inside the case.

      I hope this helps.
