Apple II europlus price
Posted by: toples50 on 2017-12-22 00:54:30
I have found a plain working Apple II europlus from 1979 for 130 £(pound sterling).Is it worth the price seller asks or not?I want an advice because I'll buy for the first time an Apple II series machine.

Sounds reasonable. I paid mine €180 but it did come with a disk drive...

The prices of ][plus-es in the US have gone up enough lately I'd probably have to second that it might be "reasonable".

(For a while they were pretty much worthless, lacking the panache of being the "original Apple ][" (despite the only differences being a case badge and some ROM chips) while at the same time being unable to run as much software as a IIe.)

You are very lucky!

Is it worthy or not to purchase the europlus?the only drawback its that does not have anything with it.

Well if you have no disk drive nor screen to go with it so, i will say it's pretty useless.

Not really expensive either, probably wait for a better deal.

It comes installed with a 16K Language expansion card and disk drive controller card.I can use I think any old monitor/tv

If you have disks and drives, then you can use ADTPro to write programs you download from the Internet to disk via the cassette ports.

No I don't have disks or disk drives.Can I use Disk II SD card reader with Europlus or not?

I don't know what to do about the purchase.To buy it or not.

I think the price is OK. Maybe a little bit lower would be nice...but OK.

About using it actually. It is totally different then working with Macintosh. This is not for the faint at heart. You could try out https://www.scullinsteel.com/apple2 to see if you like working with the AppleII.
