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…

PB1400 G3 — #3

No, doesn't make a lot of sense as beachycove said. From the looks of eBay US, you can get a Pismo 500MHz for around $250-300.

PB1400 G3 — #2

No, it is not worth it, if worth is calculated in terms of cold, rational thought. You can buy a Pismo for $200.

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…
