I'm thinking more along the lines of no longer being tied to 030 and 040 machines for the IIe Option Card.
Imagine being able to use it in a 6360 or 6500?
I don’t know if it was a true oversight, or Apple just realizing that updating the software didn’t make much financial sense.
If the source code was still out there, maybe someone could dig through it and see what needed to be done to make it 32bit clean.
I'd say the reason why it was never updated to 32bit is due to the low numbers of units sold, and how most folks never moved it out of their original Mac LCs before abandoning the card.
I'm not sure who might need one, but I recently made a reproduction bracket for the Datanetics keyboard you might find with a Apple I or a Apple II Plus.
So if you're missing this hard to find part, I hope this helps you.

Hey, gang. It's Ron's from Ron's Computer Videos.
Just throwing my hat in the ring for whatever position I can perform that benefits the membership of Tinker Different best.
While I may not have the same level of technical knowhow of many of the candidates you'll hear from in the coming...
This project has been almost a year in the making. High resolution scans of the always-missing wrist rests for the Apple Adjustable Keyboard ready for your 3D printer!
I hope you enjoy the fruits of many many hours of labor!
(Many thanks to Blake Mayerle for the loan of his original wrist...
I guess many moons ago, the Amiga community was making PLCC to PGA adapters for 68882 FPU chips so you could use the cheaper PLCC chips in PGA sockets.
Has anyone here stumbled across one in their travels… or know of anyone still making them (or effort to produce them today)?
Thank you!
My ultimate goal is to be able to release a image file in the next week that will represent a turn-key experience for owners of the Apple II Option Card.
