Apple IIc Plus!
Posted by: MultiFinder on 2007-07-03 20:12:55 I went to my local little used computer store today, to see about getting some RAM for my 6500. I saw a big box in a pile of stuff that somebody had donated with rainbow Apple logos on it. I pulled it up and saw that it was some old Apple monitor. I decided to get it for the heck of it, and started looking through the pile of junk for other stuff. There were some other smaller boxes with Apple logos in there. I opened them to find a mouse, a joystick, some oddball dot matrix printer with a crapton of paper, and a bunch of cables. The last one I found had an almost-new Apple IIc Plus in it 😀 I asked if they had a TV that I could hook it up to, and when I did and flipped it on, it beeped and griped about no system disk! I bought all the stuff for $10 (they were desperate to get some room in the shop) and brought it home. Most of it is in near-new condition, with all the original manuals, papers, disks (there's a few Apple-logo'd 800k floppies in there!), and boxes. Even the old Apple stickers were there and untouched! I set it up in my room and it all works great! Finally, I have an Apple II of my own after all these years! I've spent most of the night tapping away at it re-learning AppleSoft BASIC 🙂 Here's to my third real liberation! So, whaddya think? Good haul? P.S. I'll post pics of the haul when I get a chance 🙂
Posted by: Quadraman on 2007-07-03 20:19:32 Holy crap! The //c+ is a nice find as they weren't on the market very long. Ummm....I have three Apple II's so far and not a system disk betwen them. blush (at least not a DOS or ProDOS system disk, I do have GS/OS for the IIGS)

Posted by: MultiFinder on 2007-07-04 10:48:25 As promised, here's some pics: There's the machine and B&W/Colour monitor. The monitor's held up on a file of dot-matrix paper and propped to the perfect angle by an old HDD 🙂 Here's just a big ol' box of stuff that came along with it. Here's the disks that came with the system. Here's the major bits of documentation that came with it. Reading all those old adverts is almost as much fun as the computer itself! Here's the IIc+ box 🙂 It also came with the essential Apple II peripheral, the Joystick! And of course, the box 😛 Here's the monitor box. This was the first thing that I saw that inspired me to search through the stuff to find the machine 🙂 Here's the mouse, still snug as a bug in its foamy home. It's never been used. The mouse box is also pristine. I want to find another mouse for my II so I can avoid using this one. It's just in too nice of a shape to use. And of course, what Apple II would be complete without a good old dot-matrix printer? All of this for $10! It really was christmas in July!
