Hallo Linards

these controllers were really sold with some very very early systems!
I have a pic of an early Apple II accessory box that came with
A2S1-0271 with cutouts for exactly these controllers. They originally
came with a Naitonal Semiconductor Pong box called Adversary. I
suppose Apple bought up some of them and shipped them with their
systems? I have a set of them if you want a pic. Or you can drop by
and visit me in Stuttgart some time to have a look ;-) Ah, by the way
I might have some spare original Apple II case screws from some of my
restoration projects as well.....

Dirk
