I read in this newsgroup, that an Apple //c could work (= I think red led

I tried with mine, unsuccessfully. It is a 255 version.
Does anyone have a clue?

At some risk, I'm replying without checking the IIc documentation...
If it is at all like the //e, if the keyboard is disconnected, it
looks like both "Apple" keys (or Command and Option, if you prefer)
are held down. In the //e this forces repeated self-tests.
I don't know if the same holds true for the IIc, but it's something
to check.
