Hello,
I have been trying to find more information about the SchoolBus networking system Apple II’s. It allows up to 30 classroom Apple II computers to be daisy-chained together with a specialized networking card and share drives and printer. I found a four-page apple sales pamphlet giving basic information about the system, but I’d really like to see information from someone who actually used the system, or who has some secondary information on the subject. Let me know if you know anything, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Looks like an early predecessor of the later Appletalk/LocalTalk
architecture. There are no specialized line drivers like 26LS30, 26LS31,
or 26LS32 (RS-485). But there is a 75453 which is an old line driver.
The LM311 probably is the receiver.

Ralf
