Yeah, the docs were on fold-out sheets at the back of the manual! I think I even had schematics for the floppy disk controllers. the Apple ][ was a really nice machine - I remember I had, (infact, still have, although I haven't powered it on for around 10 years!), the following peripherals in mine: Slot 0 - Language card Slot 1 - 16K RAM card Slot 2 - Empty Slot 3 - Z80 processor Slot 4 - Third disk controller Slot 5 - Second disk controller Slot 6 - First disk controller Slot 7 - PAL encoder I only had four floppy drives, so the third disk controller was never used. I didn't have an 80-column card, nor a serial interface :-(, but I did have *** 96K *** of RAM!!! Truely the power of a mainframe on the desktop... Almost.
