An Apple user in our district is trying to add a language card to an Apple II+. He found a card at a computer store in a bargain box labeled "ANDROMEDA 16K EXPANSION BOARD". It looks to be for a II+. Does anyone know if this is a II+ card, and how to connect the jumper wire that appears to plug into a socket. Unfortunately, no documentation came with the card, and the store owner didn't even remember buying it! Thanks!

You have to plug it in slot zero, and you remove the RAM chip nearest to the RAM card and plug the jumper wire there. The RAM chip to be removed is the left-rearmost chip in the RAM chip grid. Be careful about the orientation of the jumper plug; I believe the wires sticking out of it should be pointing to the rear. Also, get a chip-removing tool, or be very careful when you pull the chip. If you want more specifics on what to do or how to use the softswitchs to use the extra 16k for your own programs, reply back. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sang J.

Network Comment: to #5218 by pnet01!pro-tcc!mlensenmayer@crash.cts.com I can only tell you how a usual 16K Card plugs into a ][+. The card should plug in slot 0 with the 16 pin ribbon cable going from the lowermost and frontmost IC socket to the socket on the motherboard at location E3 (the top, left RAM socket when sitting in front of computer). If you need any more help send me E-Mail tomk@pro-grouch UUCP: crash!pro-grouch!tomk ARPA: crash!pro-grouch!tomk@nosc.mil

Installing your Apple ][+ 16k card is simple. First locate the ram chip in the upper left corner of the memory block of the motherboard (the ram chip closest to slot 0). Pull it out (using a chip puller or small flat tip screwdriver). If there is an open socket on the 16k card install the extracted ram chip there. Next take the ribbon cable ("jumper wire that appears to plug into a socket") and plug it into the socket you just pulled the ram chip out of. (Take care to ensure the cable gets orientated the correct way.) Last, Install the 16k card in slot 0. Thats all there is to it. |Thanks! |Mark Lensenmayer Pro-Line: mlensenmayer@pro-tcc Your welcome, -- Matthew Lee Stier | Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27709-3447 | "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: sun!mstier or mcnc!rti!sunpix!matthew | phone: (919) 469-8300 fax: (919) 460-8355 |
