Greetings from Brazil!
I'm traveling down here, and took the time to take a look in the Sao Paulo Electronics District. Found some things:
-a Performa 6230CD (With the funky Video-in card and MPRG decoder). Not too remarkable, but proudly proclaims "Feito em Brasil" ("Made in Brazil") on it, so for that reason I'm keeping it. Bought it for R$30 (30 Reai's, about $12)
-A boatload of Brazilian Apple II cards (A couple from Unitron Too
)
-2 Z80 Cards (from "LogoData")
-3 or 4 Parallel Interfaces ( from Unitron)
-1 16KB RAM expansion from "AppleTronica" (It even has a copy of the Apple Logo)
-3 or 4 RAM Expansions (Not the ones with the cable that goes to the motherboard, just Stand-alone Cards)
-About 8 or 9 "Televideo" Cards. Not sure what they do. I suspect they're video cards, since a couple have a "Soft Video Switch" daughter-card on them.
-3 Communications cards (Copies of the Super-serial Card)
-A Really primitive looking 80-column card. Evidently not designed for the IIe (it's Manufactured in 1982). It says 80-Col on it. Not sure about what else it does. It's not an Auxillary-slot card
-An "Interface Card" from Unitron. Has a Single 20-pin header on it. Not sure what it does
Bought them for R$7 each (7 Reai's, about $3.50 each)
All these cards are dated from around 1980-1982. They are all made in Brazil, and are marked as such. Not sure if they work, since I don't have an Apple II with me. I'm very pleased with my finds so far. I'll keep you all updated on anything else I find down here.
