No, it was a graphics card, just touchy to make work.

Oh yeah. I bought my used II+ just before my now 26 year old son was born. Talk 
about simple operating system, I got it cheap because it wasn't working for the 
guy. Turned out to have a bad memory chip. The OS decided how much memory was 
installed buy doing  I/O up through memory until it failed, so it was acting as 
though it had very little memory and couldn't run the app he needed - Visicalc. 
One new chip and it had the full complement of memory, all of 64k!

Emulator? there's still a 6502 in a II+ in the basement. I wonder if it 
would work, but not enough to try it.
