This is indeed for the Apple. It connects to a socket inside the case in
the upper-righthand area of the motherboard (with the keyboard facing
you). It is probably the highest (or one of the highest) quailty
joysticks ever to be made for the Apple. A true classic.

A 64K/80 Column card for the Apple. This plugs into the auxiliary slot.
The "KEYBOARD" is there to make sure you don't plug it in backwards
(the "KEYBOARD" end should face the keyboard).
