It lets an Apple II with slots (][, ][+, IIe, IIgs) communicate with devices that support the RS-232 standard, e.g. serial printers and modems. It is the de facto standard for serial interface cards on the Apple II, and is emulated by the Apple IIc serial ports. The Apple IIgs has different serial hardware, but the firmware emulates that of the Super Serial Card. This is less compatible than the IIc, but most software that actually needs to access the hardware on the Super Serial Card has been modified to include support for the IIgs serial ports. If necessary, a Super Serial Card could be used in a IIgs for compatibility reasons. -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz Snail mail: P.O. Box 27-103, Wellington, New Zealand
