Re: I beg to differ Sir!

An Apple II card can work in a ///, IF you have an SOS driver for the card.
/// cards don't have the 256 byte ROM of Apple IIs, which, if you will, is where the "driver" is located for the II.
So, with a driver, a II card will work in a ///, but a /// card won't work in a II.

This is possibly an idiot/moron question coming from me... Does Apple II
cards work in an Apple III????? I'm always seeing stuff like "SoftCard for
the Apple III", "ProFile controller for the Apple II", etc. Never heard of a
card that was advertised to work in both models.

If you can't use a card in both models, I'm wondering if it's possible that
Bill's SCSI card "looks" like the photo, but is a different model. The photo
is definitely a card made for an Apple II, and I would've sworn it's a SASI
card (my Sider's card is exactly the same, right down to the label on the
ROM).

Thanks!

is...

Chris;

The original Usenet message seems to be unavailable.

You can see a picture of the second Xebec card at the link below:

Yes, that is my card.
Is there some documentation about it online?
Probably it's of no use until I find a SASI hard disk? Or can I use
SCSI drives?

regards,
chris
