     Don't recognize the name "Neptune". Maybe it was a designation used for
Titan's Accelerator IIe card. Some places to check for information are ...

     Here's some info which seems to come from Brian Hammack. (It's from Ground
at ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/MiscInfo/Hardware/ .)

They were an okay board.... I used to have one years ago.

You can run the card from any slot, but slot 3 was tyically used in the //e.

DIP Switch block
Switch 8 = OFF (If ON, the Accelerator card is forced to run at 1 MHz)
Switch 1-7 = ON to access plug-in card at high speed/OFF to access at 1 MHz
  Disk][ and 3.5" controllers must be set for 1MHz operation

Jumper block - Remove the jumper for any I/O (not Aux) slot that contains
   a RAM card

Controlling the speed of the Accelerator card - Since not all software (old
   games) do not like running faster than 1 MHz, you can slow the card down
   & speed up as necessary.

   $C086 - $05  Accelerator runs at fast speed
   $C086 - $01  Accelerator runs at 1 MHz
   $C086 - $0A  Accelerator is disabled untile the next power cycle. (You will
                have to reboot the //e after writing $0A to the Accelerator.)
