Neat score, that card and cable came all the way from over here in South Dakota. I know the guy who used to own it 😉

Nice find, The Apple IIe card is very cool, and and NeXT stuff is great for any collection. Good that the IIe card came with the Y-Cable, they are nearly impossible to find by themselves. My Macintosh LC came with the IIe card, it is a very neat trick. 😎

I Believe the IIe card was a way to let education customers switch to macs from apple II's, and not have to rebuy software they paid thousands for a few years ago. IDK if that ploy worked, but the card seems to be somewhat rare now. :-/ Nice that you found one

To end out my long and rambling post, Nice finds! 🙂

Brett, really? So this card have travelled around a bit 🙂

I am looking forward installing it to LCII i have, 10Mb RAM, nice large HDD and cleaned disk drive. Need to take the ethernet card off now, well not so much use for it anyway.
