We recently acquired and old Apple IIe and the card sitting in
slot seven presently defies identification.
It is a long card made by Apple Computer. It has a cable running
to a female RS-232 25-pin connector. There are no markings on
the card (other than that it was assembled in Singapore) that
indicate it's purpose. There are many small chips, a larger chip
with "Apple Copr 1989" on it, and two square chips in sockets
with many pins each.
Could this be a hard disk interface? SCSI perhaps? With it in
the machine there is a _long_ pause between turning it on and
when the old Disk ][ drives kick in. There is no pause with it
out of the machine.
If it is a SCSI card, how do we use it with our existing SCSI
externals for the Macintosh?
