   The FAQ was posted to comp.sys.apple2 roughly 19 hours ago, and is
available on the web (assuming the internet isn't having a bad day) at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html I can always email it if
you're on a really poor connection.

   Anyhow, you were right that the FAQ answers your question. Here's
the paragraph from question #7:

--- Snip
The //c had a number of internal revisions; the best way to check is
to go into Basic and type "PRINT PEEK (64447)" and press return (no
quotes). If it says 255, you have a very old //c; most of those
motherboards had problems that prevented reliable serial
communications faster than 2400 baud. See your dealer about getting an
upgrade, which is apparently no longer free (tell them that the Apple
authorization number is ODL660, and try anyhow). If it says 0, you can
connect a 3.5" drive, but you don't have the internal memory expansion
connector. If it says 3, you have the internal memory expansion
connector-- extra RAM can be added with certain cards. If it says 4,
you have the latest model of the //c. If it says 5, you have a //c+.
