I received a mint Apple IIe, 3 5.25" drives, a cassette drive, light pen and a bajillion other disks / cables / peripherals over the holidays, and I'm going through all this stuff.
Anyway, when I opened it up, there is a disk controller card in slot 6, and a Proclock card in slot 4. In slot 1, there was a very plain-looking card, and I cannot tell what it does, or what it's for. On the back, it has "(C) 1984 Dunrich Computer Products Inc." and "SLOT 1" on the back. On the front, it has a 20pin male hookup (similar to that on a floppy disk controller card) and there are 3 chips and a capacitor on it, the largest chip says, "MC6821P" and "M9N8419" on it. It was made in Canada, and is a very aquamarine colour.
Google wasn't much help here. Any ideas?
BAH - it occurred to me about 30sec after I posted this that I'm an idiot, this is probably a printer adapter card. Wow, do I suck.
Yeah, that sounds about right (that it's a printer card, not that you're an idiot or suck).
Congrats on the Proclock card as well!
The "MC6821P" is like MOS Technology's 6522 or 6526..
Just the kind of Part you need to communicate with a Parallel Device, like a printer..

I agree, probably a printer interface card.
Thanks, guys. Given that it was in Slot 1, it should have been reasonably obvious, but you never know, when you get these computers, what's actually plugged into things.
Now I need a printer - when I was a kid in 1985, I had a Panasonic KX-P2023. I thought it was the best thing going.
Hello,
Can you post a picture of the card, please ?
Thanks.
