Subject: ][e 80-column plus ??? cards? Newsgroups: net.micro.apple O.K., gang. This righteous denouncer of the Mac has just (30 minutes ago) replaced his Apple ][ with a ][e. I've receieved some recommendations for disk drives, now I want to find the best (price/performance) card to plug into that video slot. (As you will note from the below I don't have the foggiest idea what I want.) Microsoft has a 64k/Z80 card, discount $250. Anyone have it? Do you like it? Microsci has a 64k card for $100 (gee, that works out to 512k for $800 vis a vis Mac) which I will probably get. Someone has a 64k (expandable to 128k) for $169. Apple has a 64k/RGB card but none of the local dealers have one. (Well, one did have one but it didn't work so they sent it back.) I've heard rumors of third-party 64k/rgb cards. Anyone know where I can get one for <$200? *** This is what I really want -- 64k/rgb *** Have I missed any? Does anyone have a 64k/serial/parallel/clock card for the ][e's video slot? -- Mike Eve Boeing Aerospace, Seattle ...uw-beaver!ssc-vax!ssc-bee!eve

According to all reports (my dealer chose not to stock them), the Apple Color Monitor 100 extended-memory RGB card for the Apple //e is the very best performer although not the cheapest.
