Well... (from faulty memory) The Apple III was Apple's first 
attempt at a business machine and it was a real failure.  It 
had two (2) 6502 chips and 128K of memory, its own operating 
system, ???.  Many DOA's were part of the reason.  Not much in 
the way of software was another.  I remember hearing it was a 
pretty neat machine when it worked, but don't know much else.
