\f0\fs24 \cf0 Apple Autotester\
\
This device plugs into the joystick port of an Apple II computer. It simulates the pressing of the open-apple and close-apple buttons to launch the internal diagnostics routine of such a computer.\
\
This device was given to me by Karl Grabbe, a former Apple employee at Cork, Ireland.\
\
It was used on the production process to check that the computers were running fine. The process includes the running of the diagnostics more of a long period of time. Having such a device had saved hundreds of hours of engineers or technicians for validating the machines.\
