Does Apple intend to release ][ emulation cards for all Macs? And where do the ][e, ][c, and ][c+ fit now that there is a Mac that can run ][ software? INET: avarg@gnh-applesauce.cts.com UUCP: crash!pnet01!gnh-applesauce!avarg ARPA: crash!pnet01!gnh-applesauce!avarg@nosc.mil

As for the IIe, IIc, and IIc+, i had thought they were all discontinued a little while ago... but i might easily be wrong. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chris Silverberg INTERNET: macman@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester Polytechnic Institute Main Street USA 508-832-7725 (sysop) America Online: Silverberg WMUG BBS 508-832-5844 (sysop) "Ask me about TeleFinder...

Back in October, when I was at the local (Columbus) version of the product rollout for the Classic, LC, and IIsi, I asked one of the Apple Reps the selfsame question - namely, are there plans to market a NuBus version of the Apple Card that is being made for the LC? They replied, quite prudently, "We are not in a position to comment on unreleased products at this time." <sigh> Where does the LC's Apple Card leave the IIe/c/c+? Out in the cold, where they should've been a number of years ago. This doesn't mean that development for them will stop, since Apple programs will still be used on the IIgs and the Apple Card, but I doubt we'll see those particular CPUs for much longer... -- Jim Gaynor - Systems Analyst 1 + "This is Serious.
