I got the above card, a long time ago, from T.

The only information I've been able to get on it was a similar picture.

It has two banks of 64K x 1 RAM on it, with the usual socket for the removed RAM chip and another for the 20 connector ribbon cable between the card and the board.

There is a slide switch and paddle switch on/near the back of the card.

Now, does anyone know if this was made for the II/II+ or IIe or doesn't it matter?

Any additional would be helpful.

Thank you
 
If you mean something like this, it is intended for Apple II/II+ only.
But it is populated with 16 Ko (4116 chips), not 64 Ko (4164) ones.

Do you have a picture of the card ?

Yeah, I have one of the Saturn 32 cards as well, and, although it works and tests fine in a II+, I have no idea what the paddle switch on it does either. Perhaps it's for the number of banks of RAM installed on the card.

As a matter of fact, yes, I do have a picture of the Know Drive.....

I found this advertisement in a PDF of an old issue of an Apple Magazine that adds a bit MORE info to the pile.

It could be interpreted that you could make copies of said disks....but, who knows....?
