I figured the Atari 8-bit machines would have something, since they
all hooked up external floppies via a serial port, and I knew the IIGS
had Appletalk.  I didn't know there was a localtalk card for the other
Apple IIs, though.  That's pretty cool!

Does it have an RS-232 port?  Or at least some sort of semi-standard
I/O port?  I'm not familiar with the Apple IIs.  Is the OS hackable
enough to add a DW client to?
