Do you know what kind of battery it's supposed to take? (And why they put
it in such an inaccessible place on the motherboard?)
Cool! Not that I need another ][, I just think it's good that they
allowed this kind of functionality. Though I suppose, in a way, they felt
they had to.

The ///'s monitor isn't identical to the ]['s monitor. That's why I was
asking.
I found out that there is a monitor built into
the machine, too (press
Control-OpenApple-Reset) but apart from dumping memory eight bytes at a
time and the ability to change the values stored in bytes, I can't figure
out if the monitor can do anything. Some of the hardware is very Apple
The monitor does a lot. Try typing L and hitting return and you will get
a disassembly. You can specify an address first, like F800L to start
disassembly at $F800. I took the
machine apart, too, and I found a place for a battery on the
motherboard, with no battery or battery cover in it. Does the /// have a
system clock?
Yes. Can the ///
emulate a ][?
Yes it can, but you need the emulation system disk. Sam
