My board is a rev D and the Synertek 6502 has a date code of 8223. The date of the IIplus board won't matter as much as the revision. It maybe a revision issue, who knows.

I took a closer look at my chips -

The cpu that would not work from me was a SY6502 date code 8108.

The cpu that did work for me was coded R6502P R6502-11 date code 8324.

My test apple II was also a Rev D board.

I am thinking after a certain date the 6502's produced were probably equivilent to 6502A's (2MHz).

I do know that prodos needs a good 16K ram card or it will have problems. Also, with Contiki I can only have 1 application running at a time, like the web browser. If it trys to goto screen saver it pops up with out of memory error.

I ran into that problem on a IIgs but Oliver was not able to reproduce it. Which screensaver did you have selected?


I don't believe it is an issue where too
many cards cause problems, 6 of my 8 slots are used:

slot0  32K Saturn RAM card
slot1  not used
slot2  SSC
slot3  Disk II controller for SVD
slot4  Uther card
slot5  not used
slot6  Disk II controller for 2 disk II drives
slot7 CFFA card with 16M San Disk running Dos Master with 100 140K partitions for images.

I have several more IIplus computers but really don't have the time to pull them out and start running tests. If you want internet on your IIplus, the Uther card is the way to go. Pretty painless process.

Vince, thanks for the feedback. Glad you like the card.
