From: Dan Tappan <Tappan@BBNG.ARPA> I tried this to just info-apple and got no responses. Maybe one of you out in the wider world knows the answer? --------------- Date: Tue 27 Dec 83 16:28:32-EST From: Dan Tappan <Tappan@BBNG.ARPA> Subject: Microsoft softcard To: info-apple@BRL.ARPA My father has a Softcard (Microsoft Z80 board), that he used to use with an APPLE II. Recently he traded up to a IIe. Unfortunately his Softcard doesn't seem to work with the IIe. I have heard that there is some timing problem between the softcard and the IIe that is fairly easy to fix. Does anyone out there know what the problem is and/or how to fix it? Thanks Dan ------- -------

Dan (and net) We've had problems with some other low-bid Z80 cards for the IIe's, especially in combination with 80 column operation. We HAVE seen the Microsoft Premium Pack operate correctly. Donno the reason why the problems with others or with yours. David Kirschbaum Toad Hall
