c-plus ][ bubble memory card...japanese..

["brad" <mrbrad(remove)@ll.net>]

here is a link to an auction of what i think is a
bubble memory card for the apple // on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5155810138&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT


i think? it is a fujitsu?(sp?) 128k model..the first type
made..bubble memory card...or at least i think that is the chip version
used..if it is the card i think it is
they were quite rare and went for like $850 new for a 128k stable (non-loss)
bubble memory card
also why i want instructions..whatever is on this beast in bubble
memory...is prob still there..assuming
i can bring the card up

so looking for people who have an english version of this beasts
instructions..heard of such a thing..seen one
your typical apple // ask for a unicorn sighting type of guestion we do on
here once in awhile......

i just have what is written on the box in japanese..and
it came with the only the pic and card pic you see in
the auction link above..the seller had no clue either...

the card is sealed with the same stickers you would see
for sealing a hard drive...it is completely encased with a metal case all
the way around it..
i don't really want to break the seals on it...


and of course the japanese (translations welcome) you see printed on the box
etc

anyway......any info or manuals for this would be welcome...and /or info on
these cards...what is interesting..is that if it truely is a bubble memory
card..whatever was on it (i hope install info ...likely also in japanese)
might still be on it ...anyway any info on if you too think this is a bubble
mem card..and or ideas of what slot to put it in (slot 7 like a hd? or slot
3 as a specialty card or other as a mem card?) makes a cool paper weight
(likely)

anyway any info welcome if there is an english version of a manual to this
beast i'd also be interested...so hopefully someone else on here has one of
these beasties

anyway....kinda neat looking in a very exotic mysterious kinda way ..but
would like to figure out how to get it working ..either by tracking down a
translation of the manual..someone else who has an english version of this
beast w/english instructions or anyone who may have tripped over an old ad
in an apple mag in the past or even tripped over such a beast before

thats basically how i got it...i'm pretty sure it is a bubble mem card..but
they are pretty exotic..so my mem might be playing tricks



anyway thanks...if nothing else it is an interesting if mysterious looking
card prob destined for paper weight status unless someone else out there has
one
