[comp.sys.apple2] Can anyone help me?

I just aquired an apple IIe. It has three board (not installed) called
"Bus Expander II" by Mountain Computer Inc.. Can anyone tell me what
these are used for?

It also had a small (1-1/2 by 2 inch) pc board by MCI (Mountain Computer)
with six chips/sockets layed out as follows:

	74LS14N		16 pin socket
	14 pin socket	16 pin socket
	DM74LS10N	74LS138N

It says "03-00709-01 REV A" on the back. Anyone know what it is?

I have one other board I was wondering about. It says the following:
		DYNA COMMUNICATIONS
		LCR APPLE INTERFACE
		DC12

Can anyone tell me what it is?


Now, to some easier questions. (I have never used an apple before so
please forgive my ignorance.) I have a printer (an NX-1000 - w/ parallel
interface) that I would like to hook up to the apple. Any problem? I
assume I would need a card with a parallel port. Any recomendations?

I am also interested in using it at a terminal. I guess I'll need both a
term program and a card with a serial port. Possibly a modem as well.
(I have one now but maybe I'll keep it where it is and get another for
the apple.) Any suggestions on these?

Any advice greatly apreciated!

Thanks

Scott

      Would YOU mistake these opinions as anyone's but my own?

In a previous article <1990Jul31.015638.20464@hellgate.utah.edu> I wrote
regarding an Apple IIe computer I had aquired. It doesn't seem to have
64 K of memory (the one program I found that required 64K wouldn't work)
so I assume it is a 48 K machine. It (now) has a disk controller and two
Micro Sci drives. I also have some cards that I haven't identified. (see
below if you think you can tell me what they are or email me if you might
be interested in them). I found a neigbor who is interested in buying it.
Can anyone give me some idea of how much it is worth and what to ask for
it?

Thanks

Scott

I don't know what the problem was, but there's no such thing as a 48K IIe.
All IIe's have at least 64K.
