Any suggestions as to where to find these thousands of applications? I did a small search on Google, and the only place I've found was the U of M archives. (I'll be downloading that shortly.). Perhaps that question should go to the Apple IIe list, if there is one.And I'll guess that Stuart would prefer responses to this to go off list? >The CC will happily work in 32 bit mode with the card installed.

I'm pretty sure I have a joystick already (back from my MS-DOS days). IIRC correctly, I tried plugging it into our Atari 2600 (the non-PC end of the double ended cord), and both the plug and jack were the same gender. >Check the FAQ for more info: >http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/lc_card_faq.html.
