I own an apple II+ which I use mainly to telecommunicate with
the mainframe at the university which I attend.
I have recently purchased an 80-col card (which is obsolete
now, I believe) for my dinasaur to simplify the display of
80-col text.  The card isn't an original Apple card.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the small red
wire coming from the card is supposed to be connected to.
The person I purchased it from did not have an original Apple
but rather a 'clone', and he tried to tell me it is to be
connected to a transistor/resistor near the game port.
I could not locate the component he was refering to and ended
up blowing up my video in the trial and error process
(which I fixed with a simple chip replacement).
I believe that it has something to do with lowercase and shift
mod capapbilities, but I'm not really sure.  I have a shift
key mod (wire) installed, and I can display lowercase and shift
key works, but I was wondering if anyone could describe where
this wire is to be connected soas I could possibly dispose of
the wire shift key mod and/or possibly utilize any other
enhancements this card may be able to produce.

                             Thx,
                             Ken
