I have one of those which I used to run my Apple monitor 100 before I got a
RAMworks with RGB interface. You can get the same video with a normal extended
80 col card, ya just can't connect an RGB without such a card. If you needed a
card to get DHR, there would be plenty o' unhappy //c owners out there.

Early extended 80 col cards as in before the grey //e came out. It has a dinky
little card installed when it ships, and it has the bowtie. This card was
sold separately too, I have one still in the box unused.

The extended 80 col/RGB interface and RAMworks II I have use the bowtie instead
of a jumper too.
