I have before me an Apple II card. A couple proms, some random ttl, a 19-pin
D-type connector on a ribbon cable. It says 'I/O controller 655-0101-<blank>'.
It also says Apple Computer 1983 820-5003-A. Undying admiration to the first
to tell me what it is...

Sounds like a DuoDisk controller to me--I have one in my IIe. (The DuoDisk,
for those who are fairly new to Apple IIs, was two 5.25" mechanisms in one
box that is quite at home sitting atop a IIe.) BTW, if you have Disk II or
compatible drives laying around, it is possible to adapt the DuoDisk
controller to drive Disk IIs. (The converse--using a Disk II controller
with a DuoDisk--is also possible.) _Open-Apple_ did an article about making
the adapter cables; if there's interest, I'll dig it up and summarize here.
