STATUS: Development ceased.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: The LC //e Card is a combination hardware/software package which emulates an enhanced Apple //e, accelerated to 1.9 Mhz, monochrome, colour or inverse video, custom beep sound, RAM card, two super serial cards, a "printer" card (spools to Chooser device), clock, SmartPort card, AppleTalk card, Mouse card and extended 80-column card. Hardware is attached via a special connector with ports for a 9-pin joystick and a SmartPort drive (up to two 5.25" and one 3.5"). Files can easily be transferred between Macintosh and ProDOS hard-disk partitions using standard drag-and-drop copying (file copied to the ProDOS partition appear on fixed volume within the emulator). The problem of creating "forked files" is avoided by using the Resource Info below. Further installation, use and troubleshooting articles are available from the Apple Technical Information Library (search for "iie"). http://www.info.apple.com/til.html The latest software for the card is available under copyright from the Apple FTP site. ftp://ftp.info.apple.com/Apple.Support.Area/Apple.Software.Updates/US/Apple_II/For_Macintosh/Apple_IIe_Card_2.2.1.sea.hqxftp://ftp.info.apple.com/Apple.Support.Area/Apple.Software.Updates/US/Apple_II/For_Macintosh/IIe_Startup_2.2.2d1.sea.hqx
