Re: New Mystery Boards



Hey, don't mean to cut in, but I have some mystery card of my own...
Listed chips on the board which caught my attention...
*'Little Blue Limited' "PC Transporter" Applied Engineering
Has passthrough cables onto the speaker, keyboard, and modulator (?) pins
on the motherboard of the IIe.
It's got, let's see, a NEC v30 8710WK, I9591  V6T7737-6009  745V, and a
VLSI 8835AZ  X1001I  VC2849   as chips which catch my attention, along
with other miscellanous PROMs and stuff. 19-pin female connector on rear.
(This is...a PC Compatibility card for the Apple IIe <?!?!>...any idea on
where one can find an external 5.25 which attaches to it? or the software
for it?)
*Apple Computer 1990 'Sandwich II'
Some PROMs with serial numbers and APPLE89 on them
NCR CP02764 8924A
AMI 9002MAH C17656
25-pin female connector on back of computer.
*ALS Z-card
Z80B cpu, 10 socketed PRAMs, 4 DIP siwtches
*ALS Z-engine
Z80B cpu, 3 socketed PROMs, 5 soldered
(looks like perhaps a lower-end version of the first I guess)

Any idea on these? I'm assuming the Z80 cards are for CP/M, since that's
like the only good use for a Z80 in a IIe that I can think of...? But no
software, so dunno what they do. (can I use a CP/M boot disk from, say,
another CP/M card and have it work with them?) And that Little Blue card
makes me really curious.
Oh, hey, got a mem board as well, 32 ILM41256AP-12 chips
I saw 256, but there's no way that it is 8192kB for a IIe, right? What am
I misreading...
