128k ram card

Posted by: bibilit on 2020-10-17 21:48:18 I am more a Macintosh guy than an Apple II one.  I have a few cards in my attic for the Apple II.  Some displaying a label 128k on them.  I have already a 64k/80 column card on the auxiliary connector and my Apple IIe is able to display the right amount of ram with it.  With the 128k card, nothing Is detected, so wondering if this ram is used for something else, or some programs.  Can anyone help ?

Posted by: waynestewart on 2020-10-18 21:32:51 Most likely it's a Saturn 128k card. You can check online to see if pictures of it match your card. The manual and software for the Saturn cards are available online

Posted by: bibilit on 2020-10-19 07:25:31 I have several units, including a Saturn clone. All cards are working more or less the same way ??

Posted by: waynestewart on 2020-10-21 15:04:24 The Saturn and clones will work the same but other manufacturers may be a little different

Posted by: bibilit on 2020-10-22 05:23:55 Ok thanks. from what i have found online, can be used like a ram disk ?
