Re: Apple ][e card for LC

[Terry Miller <gmanmiller@earthlink.net>]

Thanks for the help. I have the 'Y' cable for the Mac. I just verified again
and I bought this ][e new just a few months after they came out. I just has
the 16 pin dip header. I need the pinout of the DB9 so I can make an adapter
cable. I have several joysticks but they all have dip connectors. I searched
my "Inside the Apple ][e" book but his schematics depict the dip connectors.
Thanks for your help.
