Wildcard

Wildcard - One of several Apple ][/][+ (//e?) cards which would save a 
   snapshot of memory to a 5 1/4 diskette.  This was a way of "deprotecting" a 
   particular piece of software (typically games).  This method was defeated 
   by games makers by not loading the entire program into memory during boot.
Sup'r Mod - This should be a small square PCBoard with wires coming off one
   end and and RF Modulator (metal box) with an RCA jack.  It was used with an
   Apple ][, ][+, and //e to interface to a normal TV.  But rather Channel 2-4
   like must RF Modulators, it displayed the picture on Channel 33.  This
   generally resulted a clearer picture since the TV was less likely to also
   receive a local TV station.

Not owning a IIgs, I defer on the Z-Card...
