| Calling All IIc Owners |

I'm trying to determine the colour scheme for the IIc over its life-span. In surfing the net, I am finding conflicting information.
I know the first version was introduced in the light off-white colour Apple called "Fog". It also had a darker khaki/beige colored keyboard and accents/cables and used the original 128K squarish cable connector design.
Then there was a revision that added the Unidisk support in late 85. Did anything change? I know the Unidisk cable connectors were the new rounded ones and the UniDisk itself was the same off-white color as the original IIc.
In late 86, I find info that says the memory expansion version, contemporary with the IIGS intro, also changed the case to Platinum. However, what is the difference between this Platinum change and the change to Platinum on the IIc Plus? I have never seen a Platinum-coloured IIc with the 5.25 disk drive.
In 88 there was a revised memory expansion. Did anything change?
By late 88 the IIc Plus was introduced and almost all sources indicate the Platinum case change as well as noting a matching keyboard. Was the earlier switch to Platinum case only? Did the earlier keyboard remain the same or use the contrasting gray Apple called "Smoke" on the Plus keyboard and cables as well?

I'd have to dig them out again, but I'm fairly certain I have an example of each ROM revision of the //c in my collection. There were certainly different keyboards for US, Euro and probably Japan, but otherwise all my //c's are 'fog'.
The only platinum //c I have is the //c plus.

I'm missing the power supply to mine (as well as DOS disks) so I can't tell. I did have them at one point and it did work...

Answered the survey with Original IIc before I was even sure. I just did the PRINT PEEK (64447) and it returned 255 which means I was correct.
Got the IIc off of eBay and it initially didn't work. Had a friend open it up and look at it. He thought he hadn't fixed it but it turned out he did. So it might have just been a loose chip.
Now I've got a Playstation LCD hooked up to it making it a more protable system than it already was.
