4: If the Super Serial Card does NOT have an SCC on it, the most straightforward
path seems to get Apple to allow someone to make the Apple II workstation board
again, license-free (which I will guarantee without even looking at it that it
has an SCC on it).
I own a small hardware company (we engineer and manufacture cache cards for
Power Macs), and would possibly be interested in manufacturing this board
again, but certainly would need Apple's blessing.
Can anyone loan me a Apple II workstation board for a few days so I can take a
look at one to see what the manufacturing costs would be? It can be dead or
alive. If you have a dead one, could I keep it?
Comments? Does anyone have a clue as to whom should be contacted within Apple
about this? Anyone out there know WOZ? He may be supportive of this movement to
give the venerable Apple IIs another shot of life. There are lots of schools
with these things just lying around gathering dust, and they could make great
email stations for students!
By the way, in this discussion, I have not heard OfficeMail mentioned. It is
from Claris, and is an Email POP server for a LAN. Any POP client can talk to
it over LocalTalk OR TCP/IP - either will work. Of course, Claris would like you
to use Emailer, which is a client for OfficeMail, and is also a great Eudora
competitor as a general internet and online service email reader.
OfficeMail would make a nice server for the Apple II clients. Moreover, since it
is from Claris, which is owned by Apple, there could be the remote possibility
of some help from them in this adventure! It is also CHEAP - $275 or so for the
server sofware, and there are NO license fees for adding clients (if you use a
freeware mail program like Eudora).
Gee, I wonder if Claris would make a freeware Apple II version of Emailer that
is HIGHLY stripped down? Wouldn't THAT be a kick! And a hell of a public
service to the many schools owning these machines. TCP/IP would not be
necessary, since the Apple II would be using LocalTalk.
Hey, WOZ, wherever you are! Can you chat up some of your friends at Claris?
Can you give us some guidance here?
