There were some serial to parallel converters that worked fine with Epson
printers. I can�t remember any model now. As far as I know, almost any Apple
printer works with a IIc via serial port. Programs as Publish It and GEOS
support Apple LaserWriter.

I don�t know how. Check at Asimov FTP site. They have copies of AppleWorks
in disk image format.

Not with the IIc. You may find a numeric keypad, but they were rare.

You can find an adapter in any radio shack. This adapter connects to the RCA
video jack of your Apple IIc and sends the signal to your TV antenna input
jack.
