To answer your question on the "size" of the IIc it is 11 1/2 inches wide by 12 inches long by 2 1/4 inches high. So it should fit just about anywhere. You'll want to put the carry…

Assuming I have a working Apple IIc, and assuming I have a power supply with it, and a cable hooking it up to my TV...what will happen when I turn the power on?

Okay, I have another question as well. In my last post in this thread before this one, I asked about the case dimensions of the Apple IIc. But now I have another question.
The v…

On the interface card and special software bit, it really depends. If you're interfacing to TTL logic, then a parallel port and debug will do the job (and if you don't like debug,…
Great! Well, I've just received the tracking number from the seller, and it should be here tomorrow or Friday! And the seller mentioned, when I inquired about the power supply, t…

Uh, you can do that sort of interfacing on a PC or a Mac. It just happens to be a little harder.

Yes, I know that. But you need an interface card and genera…

What's great about the Apple II? Everything. Especially if you've got a huge software, hardware, and manual collection (sorry to brag!) at your disposal.
Unlike the modern Mac, or…

Tonight I set up my gigabit ethernet G4 with my new monitor, and very soon decided to nuke the 10.2.8 install with panther, which is what I happened to have lying around. Anyway, a…
It is a separate large beige part - looks like a brick. You can see one in the picture of this auction:

No, I don't have a power supply...
Would I be looking for something like this?

All you need to hook it up to a regular TV is a composite video cable (the yellow RCA-type video cable). You probably have one of these laying around somewhere but if you don't you…

Hi,
Okay, I just now bought this Apple IIc on eBay:

Okay, great! Thanks!
I've just been outbid on a Macintosh Plus that I was going for on eBay, so I decided to go for an Apple IIc instead. (I'm still going for a Plus, of course,…

Documentation for the II family was incredible. The Red Book told you almost everything about how the computer worked -- the only other thing that you needed was the 6502 manual.

As others have said, the Apple II is and always was a hobbyist system. In fact, the Apple II series used to come with a little booklet entitled "A Touch of AppleSoft BASIC" which e…

Luddite is correct, they are much more of a hobbiest system. They are great to program on because they include both BASIC and the mini-assembler, and the limited resources don't o…

Hi,
No matter where I look, I keep hearing great things about the Apple ][ series of computers. So what exactly makes them that great? My oldest computer is a Mac SE, so obvious…
