   - allthough both Cards have clearly different Layouts both Cards operate the
     CPU at 6 Mhz and both Cards are supplied with on 64 KByte RAM
     "onboard".Taking a closer look to the schematics of the Cards discover
     that the both are nearly identical - so for that reason at the Disk-Section
     only the Disks from ALS have been uploaded due to the fact that thay
     operate on both cards andthey offer some additionel tools like the
     harddisk.support.

    The MC 68008 CPU Card

    In September 1985 the german magazine published a DoItYourself project
    that enabled the Users to make a 68008 CPU card for the Apple II series.
    In the following months there had been few adds published to optimize
    the card and thereafter there were several program-codes published how
    to use the card. The card is able also to run with CPM and to use 68000-
    native code.

    remark: at the moment the pages here still are in the native german language,
                    but i plan to translate the entire text within the next 2 months......
                    and within that period i will also search for the codelistings and
                    software within my archives and bring up both here too.....

   unfortunatly the magazin mc was discontinued in early 2002... probably similar
   to the development in germany also in other countries the community of kids
   that still used the APPLE II fadded away due to the fact that the PC´s based on
   the Intel-CPUs dominated the market...

Remark: if you intend to etch the pcb by yourself it is recomended to use the
printout of the german PDF-file - it has better resolution.

     The Applied Engineering ( AE ) PC Transporter Card

    was one of the most popular CPU Cards for the Apple II Series.
    Allthough the card was rather expensive the card was remarkable
    to the fact that MS-DOS Programs did run on that card faster than
    on the XT and AT moidells of those days. AE offered a "plug-on"
    "piggy-back" module to be pluged on the main card and equiped it
    with additional 1 MByte RAM and therefor pushed the limits of the
    card ahead to a point that AT Models could only reach with additional
    RAM cards pluged in. ( for larger Pictures click here to another Photopage)

Rademacher 942 Experimentierkarte

       the "Rademacher 942" from the german company Rademacher was in
       in former days one of the most common PCB´s for experimental use and
       prototyping. The card cost in former days about $ 16 USD - but in 1998
       the company stoped the production of this card. The card had at the top
       border a length of 17,8 centimeter. In very rare occasions such cards are
       offered at ebay and it is a good idea to keep ebay under survilance for
       these rare occasions when this cards are offered - at least if you intend
       to develop own hardware for your Apple II. clicking the images brings up
       a page with high-res-scans of the card.rightclick in that page enables a
       download of the hires pictures.

   Alternative Platine zum Selber Ätzen ( doppelseitig )
       The second Alternative is to make some boards yourself at least if you intend
       to develop own hardware for your Apple II. clicking the images brings up
       a page with high-res-scans of the card.rightclick in that page enables a
       download of the hires pictures.
