It is essentially a 128k Apple IIe in a box. The later Apple IIc's were
expandable to about 1.25 MB, had 3.5" floppy drives, and 4Mhz (instead of
1 Mhz) processors. They were called IIc+'s. You can tell by the floppy
drive and the lack of an external "power brick." This is one of the
drawbacks. Due to the lack of an external power source, the power plug
needs 100-250VAC instead of 14VDC. The old models were portable --
external LCD display, batteries AND/OR adapter to a car's battery. Hope
