Mystery Apple // card

[Tony359]

Hello all,

I've opened an Apple //e today and found this mystery card in it.

Any ideas of what it could be? I plugged it in, nothing weird happened. is there a way to query what card that is?

Thanks!

I found this discussion on AppleFritter, https://www.applefritter.com/content/unknow-apple-iis-cards

Seems like it might be a license dongle for a tablet.

interesting. Too bad the link on applefritter is not available anymore.

Will a diagnostic software tell me more about that card?

Ooo! That's probably another software-lock dongle card.

I helped jeffd unlock the ROMs of an SL5 dongle-card, and blogposted pictures of two others at https://www.applefritter.com/content/some-sl5-rom-dump-failures-and-successes

Are you interested in trying to unlock it and dump the ROMs?

could be interesting! I need to ask the owner of the card as that is not mine.
I have no idea what software it belongs to though. Do you think we would be able to find out by looking into the ROMs?
