     I'm not to familiar with the Synetix 256K RAM card, but I'm assuming it is
alot like the Saturn 128K card. "Will it be usable for AppleWorks?", not without
patching AppleWorks.

     "I have an Apple ][+."  Is this the machine you will be running AppleWorks
on?,  If so you'll need to have Apple modified to run on it. The best product I've
scene to do this is Norwich Data Systems 'PlusWorks'. You may wish to contact them
to see if there product supports the Synetix 256K RAM card.  (If it currently
does not, if you have tech specs on the Synetix 256K RAM card, they may wish to 
upgrade there product to support that card.)

     The old Mountain Computer Clock card is not ProDOS compatible. A device driver
could be written to allow ProDOS to use Mountain Computer Clock card.  I don't
know of one already written, nor do I own a Mountain Computer Clock card and have 
the need to write one.
