I've been wondering about the Applied Engineering MS-DOS card, has anyone
used it yet or have anything to say about it. I relize that in order to use
the card I'd have to purchase a IBM diskdrive as well, is there any other
costly items which I'd have to buy?
I am in need of a modem. Theone I usenow is on loan from work and I
wouldn't want to hang on to it too long or else someone might think I've taken
it for good. I was looking into the Courier 9600, basically because it was
priced rather low. If anyone has a modem for sale could you drop me a line?
I don't care about the baud rate as long as it is atleast 1200 baud. 9600
sounds fun, since we don't get special phone rates here in Maine. Any
reconmendations or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Is there anyone out there who could give me simple step-by-step instructions
on how to make and use a shape table? I've been working on several programs
and a bit of graphics would make for better asthetic qualities. The programs
are in Basic, just to keep them simple.
One program I'm working on strings a sequence of files together to produce
a simple form. The file structure runs one file which calls another and
so on, each being pulled into memory, run, and then cleared. The files all
write to a single text file. For this reason I need to know how to Append to
a text file, if I had an Apple manual I look it up, but alast they have been
packed away. If anyone has a better way of accomplishing the task without
having so many files let me know. Due to the size of the files and the amounof
memory it zaps up upon execution, I thought this to be a way to accomplish
the task.
Just a few last questions that can be answered by a yes or no:
Can a mouse be used on an unenhanced ][e? Also, is there anyway of having
more than seven cards (eight including the expansion slot) plugged in at one
time? (Possibly some sort of slot expander or expansion box??)
Thanks in advance for any information.

Specific subject: Mouse on unenhanced ][e.
A mouse on a ][e requires an AppleMouse card plugged into an expansion slot
(and slot other than 0 or 3). Doesn't matter whether it's enhanced or not.
The very same card will allow a mouse on a ][ or ][+.
