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!)
