It wasn't through the Super Serial Card.  It was out of the paddle port.

There were schematics detailing an unshielded, unbuffered serial interface
that plugged into the paddle port, and a custom driver that may or may not
have emulated an SSC's communications.  I don't think it did.

Unfortunately, I don't think I saved my Computer Shoppers (and besides,
they'd be at my parents' house in California).  Someone else have them,
perhaps?

What happened to "Ask the Guru", anyway?  Last time I checked, Computer
Shopper didn't even have an Apple // column anymore...
