Thanks --PZ 06:31, 18 March 2006 (UTC) ------------------------------ One of the early strengths of the Apple II line was its set of internal expansion card slots, sometimes reffered to as edge connector sockets. Into these slots were inserted Apple II Peripheral Cards, which added functionality to the system and users generally simply called "cards." Perhaps the most common card is the Disk II Controller Card, which allows users of earlier Apple II's to use a 5¼" floppy disk drive. The typical Apple II, aside from the portable Apple IIc series, had seven 50 pin expansion slots, labeled Slots 1 though 7. These slots could hold printed circuit board cards with double-sided edge connectors, 25 "fingers" on each side, with 100 mil center spacing between fingers. This card edge connector fit exactly into the slot with the fingers matching up with the slot's electrical contacts. Through these slots, the Apple II could be expanded beyond the wildest dreams of early adopters, and far beyond what were then contempory computers. Both Apple Computer and dozens of third-party vendors created hundreds of cards for the Apple II series of computers. Even today, long after the last Apple IIe came off of the assembly line in 1993, a handful of manufacturers are still making peripheral and expansion cards for Apple II computers. In addition to the seven standard slots, the following computers contained these other slots for expansion:
