10  ID = PEEK (64447): REM $FBBF
20  IF ID = 255 THEN PRINT "Original Apple //c"
30  IF ID = 0 THEN PRINT "3.5 UniDISK Apple //c"
40  IF ID = 3 THEN PRINT "Original memory expandable Apple //c"
50  IF ID = 4 THEN PRINT "Revised memory expandable Apple //c"
60  IF ID = 5 THEN PRINT "Apple //c Plus"
70  END

Chances are that if you have an original Apple //c, you will need to have
the motherboard upgraded.

Usually, the only way to ensure that this will be done properly is to
demonstrate that you can't use a UniDISK on the computer's external port
and cite the reference number regarding upgrades in front of a authorized
Apple dealer.  The reference number is some section of the dealer's manual
to which they can refer which instructs them that they are obligated to
perform the upgrade at no charge.  Some technician at a local dealer in
Calgary wanted $300 for the new motherboard and $40/h of labour; I hung up
the phone on him.

I've seen the reference number around, but I don't have it; perhaps someone
out there would be kind enough to reproduce it for you.
