Did you ever have anything to do with Warp Six on your AppleII gear? Assuming it is A2 and not that other stuff... :)

No, never even heard of it. I only owned Apples later on. Back in
the day, I had to make doing with the school's Apples. :D

I know that feeling, I didn't get my first one till I started work, and could buy it myself. Was an old beat up II+ and we're talking desperately early 90's

Cool. Well I want to restore an Apple to full working condition.
:)

A II+ is nice and easy to work on. Unless you're one of these types that will only use date correct components, they were all common as dirt, and are still pretty much all available. I think the 4116 memory is probably the toughest ask. Nice part is almost everything is socketed for your working convenience. :)

Aloha,
Time for an A2 update. After a lot of messing around, and even replacing some of the line drivers/recievers I'm no closer to actually having a serial card sorted out. Symptoms are exactly the same.

It works in loopback any any speed you care to set it to. But its very hard to
get a peep out of it when you hook it up to anything else. At this point
there is some conjecture it may not be setting correctly according to its dipswitches. If this is the case, apparently the easiest diagnosis will be with
a CRO which I don't own.

So there it sits again for the moment.

I was considering what we covered before and alluded in a recent message. I think I should get out the made up wifimodem and hitch it up to CloneE. If I can find the bits, I'll program the spare one before we somehow get it to you.

Having done that, I'll try hitching it up to CloneE with one of the "lesser" serial cards, so that you can get the use of the Super Serial Card as its the compatibility standard.

It might be time to pop aside the BBS activities, which are slowly driving me batty at the moment, especially in the newsgroups gateway dept, and get to some
of this stuff... :)
