I mean -- timestamp your files in ProDOS? Control your sweet X10 home automation setup? Clock your employees in and out? Run your BBS?

  If you were that fancy, you bought a clock card, discovered it didn't actually work with ProDOS, tried to hack it or sent it back, etc.

    It didn’t? I never had a real clock card for my Apple //e, but I had a simulated one with my Apple//e card in my LCII. I never knew the real ones didn’t work with ProDOS.

      Oh I meant hypothetically - some of them did and some of them didn't since some of the cards pre-dated ProDOS. What I was trying to say was, if you wanted to do something where an RTC made sense, you would almost certainly have to buy extra hardware to do the something itself as well - it's not like the machine had as much as a serial port. I imagine the //e card gave a view of a nigh-impossibly tricked out //e, as would make sense for a //e that has an entire Mac as its 'peripherals'.

        Yep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIe_Card https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIe_Card Also, it would translate ImageWriter output to QuickDraw and you could print to any printer connected to your Mac.
