Actually, one of the kind A2 users in the group has
loaned me a real IIc Mockingboard, and aside from obvious
improvements, it will be the same as this one.

Sure, the only Apple IIc clone that does have a slot.
Makes sense, and you better believe the IIc+'s speed
reduction procedure is difficult for kids, I even have
trouble with that.  :o)

Hopefully, soon, I will have figured out the procedure for
loading up the drivers and have it to a point where you can
load the disk/game you want and make it go. So far, I am
having a bit of trouble getting it to do that. There is the
hard manual, and a couple soft versions with the utility disk
and you need both in order to make it work properly. I'll get
it, and then begin the task of remodeling the board to the
way I want it. I'm going to attempt to make it smaller, so it
won't need such a large case. This thing is huge compared to
how I imagined it.  :o)

No problem. I like to keep the folks as informed as I can.
