Some more info on these (I still have a Ramworks with the RGB with disks and manuals):Ted,
If memory serves, the MultiRam IIe is the Ramworks (I or II) -like expanded
memory card from Checkmate Technology. They go into Slot-0 and perform the
duties of 80-column expansion and memory expansion. They had models that had
256k, 512k and 1024k. Early versions of AppleWorks required patches to use
all the memory available (much like RamWorks cards), and I think later
versions of AW recognised it natively (but don't hold me to this.)
The big deal with these cards is that they had a low-cost (at the time;
probably $200 or so - can you believe it??) Analog RGB add-on module, so you
could get 80 columns and color from an RGB monitor.
-They provide 80-col output as well as memory enhancement and had several potions.
-They had a pass-thru connector, so you could attach a piggy-back board (mine has 3MB total, I think).
-There was an RGB option, though it wasn't a standard RGB connector.
-They could be partitioned and configured for ram-disk use, Appleworks desktop, or both.
-They fit in the AUX slot of any //e.
I need to finish re-building my //e to play with it some more.
