     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The attachment is required for the older version of Softerm from
several years ago, and was intended for 64K Apples.  It used a plug-in
board.  The newer version, called Softerm IIc, operates on 128K
systems, and uses an OPTIONAL plug-in switch aray that goes into the
joystick game port in back.  It has 3 switches on it, 2 of which are
the same as the open-apple and closed-apple buttons.  The 3rd. button
is really not necessary, so I don't use the plug-in.  It works on the
Apple //e with the extended 80-column card, any aux memrory card, and
on the IIGS.

It does a very good VT100 emulation.  It is available from Programs
Plus for about $150; it lists for more.
