But I'm looking for the DOS3.3 Disks that came with the ALF AMII. I have a modified Version of the Programs for a ALF-pseudo Clone that is based on 3x AY-3-8910.  But these will not work with the ALF-Board. The ProDos-Programm on the Music-Disks is not compatible with non-enhanced Apple //e or Apple II+. http://www.flickr.com/photos/88521483@N03/8510785145/in/photostream

The ALF AMII card (aka MC1) is explained here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALF_Products_Inc.#Apple_Music_II_.2F_Music_Card_MC1
and brochures and manuals here:
http://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20Project/Interface%20Cards/Audio/ALF%20MC1%20MC16/

ALF's two music cards (MC16 and MC1) were very popular.  For quite some time, the MC16 was the biggest-selling hardware add-on for the Apple II except for Apple's floppy disk drive.
