Sounds like an Apple IIc. Here is a link that will give you some more
information about it -
http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=69 I don't
really know what it would be worth, but there were a lot of them made,
and they are really fun computers to play with. With the little 9"
green monochrome monitor that was meant to go with it, and it's
internal 5 1/4 floppy drive, it's a very small Apple IIe-like computer.
It even has built in 80 column support, and there is a switch to toggle
the keyboard layout (Dvorak or QWERTY). The main "problem" with these
machines is that they require a power adapter brick that frequently
gets separated from the computer. If you have the complete system
(computer, monitor, power adapter, and possibly a second floppy), it is
still a very useful system - I know of one guy that still uses his
regularly for word processing.

Hello,
Hey, my aunt and uncle were given a little old apple computer and I
don't think they use it at all.? I don't know what model it is, but I
know it's ancient.? It has a little tiny monitor with a green
display.? I think the?brains of the computer?are inside the
keyboard........like the old Commadore 64s.? The disk drive might be
inside the keyboard as well.? I only looked at it once and I wasn't
really trying to find out what kind of computer it was so I don't know
much about it yet.
If this computer sounds like it might be worth something to someone
out there, let me know and I can find out more about it.? My aunt and
uncle are having kind of hard times because my uncle has been taken
into the army and I'm quite sure they would be glad to sell the
computer to someone if it's worth something.
