Ada-Lab = Analog and Digital instrumentation interface for Apple II systems.

Ada-Amp = instrumentation amplifier used primarily to amplify sub-threshold signals for the Ada-Lab card. Includes a variety of interface options and channels for typical lab signals.

Ada-Byte = based on on-board chips and documentation, this looks to be the “Ada-Buf” board having been renamed at some point, described as being used for interfacing multiple digital signals. The board circuitry backs this up with 4 identical channels.

Self-Test Module = functions as both a means to add raw wires to the system via lugs, plus apparently has function related to a demo called QUICKSAMPLE in the docs, hence the self-test labeling. This program was not on the disk we have, which was likely a production environment disk.

IMPORTANT:

#1: As noted, everything does appear to work! At least to the extent testable using QUICKIO software, and running the sample code included in the documentation. I have no lab instruments, so sold as is, but the units do return access reads and display them when running the code. PHOTOS ADDED SOON.

#2: You will probably need at least 3 16-pin cables as shown in the last photo. These will not be included as we only have about 5 in the entire workshop. I suspect many have these around from other projects , and they are available online.

#3: This is clearly not a simple or PNP system. A treasure trove for tinkerers and collectors of unicorn rare Apple kit , but requires Apple II and electronics knowledge.

Happy to answer questions. Been messing with this one for quite awhile, before QUICKIO turned up in a stack of old disks and made life easier!
