Can anybody tell me whether the grappler + is a serial or a parallel card? Or, if grappler + m,ade both, how can I tell which this one is?

The Grappler+ is a parallel printer interface.  The connector on the
card is a two row header connector that mates a connector on the end
of a cable with a standard Centronics parallel connector on the other
end.  The Grappler card has an on-board program (firmware) that allows
you to print graphics screens to many parallel printers very easily.
It is also supported by many Apple II programs.
