Hi Guys,
Is anyone able to help me with advice on how to use 80-column text cards in an Apple II+ (or clone).
I inhertited 4 of these but there are no docs available. The only docs I can find in the Net are ones which discuss the use of similar cards in the Apple //e, not a II+. I did find one set of docs for a card for the II+, but the card looked quite different.
Here is the card in question (all 4 look similar).
My research so far indicates these should go in slot 3, and typing PR#3 at the DOS prompt will activate the card. Is this correct? If so, how can you activate them under CP/M?
More importantly, are the 6 connectors in the lower right hand corner suppose to be connected to anything? The other three cards have only two pins, not six? Is the card suppose to be connected to the video pin in the motherboard and also to a separate RCA socket which is then plugged into the screen?
I could just try it, but I don't want to blow anything up. Any ideas?
