Apple //c!




Hello!

I just obtained another addition to my collection (previously included a
GS, an unenhanced ][e, an enhanced //e, and a Psion 3a)...an Apple //c.

Okay, the first thing I did was to check that PEEK (whatever...it was in
the FAQ) and find out that I have the "255" model....the old model.  Now
what exactly is the problem with this model?  I don't have SmartPort?  I
can't run the serial port at 2400 baud?  What about 19,200 baud?

At the moment, I haven't quite decided what I want to do with this
machine, but I am interested in a couple of options, for instance...

o Hard drive...perhaps even adapated to fit internal, connected to the
  floppy port.  Is the hardware out there?

o LCD display.  I know the one that Apple built pretty much stunk, but how
  about anyone else's?  

o Is there someplace I can look to find the port pinouts...particularly
the serial ports (I can obtain the connectors more easily than the
prebuilt cables), the power port, and the video expansion port (maybe I
can build my own portable display...)

Any suggestions or advice welcome.  Remember, I know Apple ]['s, just not
//c's.  I've pretty much ignored the //c's since they were introduced...
(shame on me!)
