I believe that's Apple's "Slinky" card. Itcan be used as a RAM disk, or
Appleworks (and maybe a few other programs) can use it in a bank
switching manner.

Hello people,
Quite a few years back, I was given the remains of a (very) rich
friend-of-a-friend's apple 2. I remember taking all the more interesting
parts from it and expanding our own apple 2 to its absolute maximum
capacity of bits and pieces. It's now a fully-decked out Apple2, the
likes of which few (I assume) see.
Trouble is - I've forgotten what the hell most of it does. The picture
linked is of a 1MB (yes, megabyte) cache/memory card that in it's day
was phenomenally expensive. The documentation provided with it suggests
that it's some kind of SCSI adaptor (?) but I haven't the foggiest.
About all I've ever done with it was to test it with the included
software, and get an A-OK result. Other than that I'm clueless.
Anyway - here's the link. I'd appreciate any information you fellas
might have on it.
