I am batting zero this week. I bought the "No Slot Clock" made by SMT. The
SMT ad states that this device works in Apple II, II+, IIe, Franklin, and
Laser computers. Once you get the device, THEN you find out that it only fits
on the motherboard of the IIe and IIc. You must have a "host" card for this
work on the Apple II, II+, or the Franklin 1000 series. And, of course, ALL
of SMT's expansion boards work in this fashion.
The place I bought it from, as well as the SMT salesman both claimed that they
never had heard this. It wasn't until we got through to SMT Tech Support that
someone started to make sense. As it turned out, only my new RamFactor card
could serve as a host for this little chip/socket thingy. None of my other
cards (Apple SSC, Franklin dual-port, video, Z80, and disk controller) would
work. Sure would be nice if they told you about that before you got your hopes
up. I lucked out in this case. Will you?
