Can Someone Explain This Note on the Back of Broadside Doc's

[DavidMil]

I found this note on the back page of the instruction manual for the SSI game, 'Broadsides'. Can someone

explain what it means?

 

Thanks,

The mockingboard is a sound card for the Apple II.

 

This page seems to suggest there were quite a few versions: http://wiki.apple2.org/index.php?title=Mockingboard

 

From a soundbyte I heard, it sounded a lot like the ST's YM2149.

More than likely it is referring to the Apple II version of the game, I think it had a board called the Mockingboard. The 800's slots are 0-3, none designated 4 unless it's the hidden CPU board. I have the real manual, I'll take a look. But if I recall this was a flippy-disk release with some having Apple II and Atari and some having C64 and Atari. I'll see what mine is, just a moment...Yeah, it's for the Apple II, I think it's a sound board. My player manual says for "all versions" and the back shows commands for Apple II/+ Apple IIe, Atari and C64.

Seems self evident. The software addresses a Mockingbird in slot 4, and if something else is in that slot it does not execute as expected?

[DavidMil]

I never had much to do with Apples, except sell a lot of floppy disks at some of their user group meetings.

I was kind of hoping that they were talking about a 1090 (four slots and Z-80 compatibility). I know that is

rather far fetched, but... Messed with a Trash 80 a bit and also a very advanced but not supported TI 99-4A,

just not Apples.

 

Thanks for the feed back!

I would love to have a Z80 (or Z380) slotted in my 800! That would be an awesome thing.

Ideas, anyone?
