- Summary: laser 128??
Help, I've come across a LASER 128 computer that appears to be
a apple ][ clone of sorts.
here is what it has...
65c802 WD processor (16bits?)
128K dram onboard
an empty memory daughter board with 4 banks of eight 18 pin sockets
(64Kx1's or 256K's ??? I don't know :( )
64K dram in a video block
a couple of 6551's
a couple of 6116's
a 8048(surprise)
some surface mount things...
a EPROM accessible from a hatch on the bottom
across the back...
power switch
1 7-pin din power plug (15VDC)
2 5-pin din serial ports
1 db-style disk port
flip up handle aka. ][c
1 RCA composite video
1 db-style video "expansion"
1 switch labeled "enhanced/standard keyboard"
1 db25 parallel port
1 db-style joystick port
on the right side...
1 1/2 height 5 1/4 drive
stereo earphone plug & volume control
on the left side...
some sort of BUS expansion connector
on the front...
keyboard with numeric pad,
open and closed triangles where apple keys would be
a reset button in the upper left
a 40/80 col switch
a serial/parallel switch
3 status leds (power, disk, & caps lock)
------------------
after hacking a wall wart transformer to ~17VDC
it powers up and displays a copyright message and a
no-boot disk error.
(Copyright is Central-Point Software [who'd have guessed])
I have a apple logo disk it will boot (but don't know logo)
it will also boot a comm package (prodos disk)
It might have a video problem as there was lots of color ghosting
into my TV (composite in) that came and went.
but would like to know rear panel pin outs. It same with a 3 1/2 drive from
a old mac pluged in (but I was chicken to leave it pluged in as I have no
small disks and am not sure if the drive was electrically compatable.
-----------------
So, who recognizes this beast? What are the official features & what model
of apple ][ is this a clone of? I've never seen a GS so... tell me!
thanks.
