it seems people have to be continually reminded that this is a nostalgia
group. and as such it doesn't really matter if something works or not!!
let's hear it for light and airy vaporware!!
On a design standpoint it is kind
of ridiculous. It appears to be a entire
Apple II+ or IIe clone combined with a cartridge port expander for a C64. It
even has one of those terrible clone Apple II power supplies inside. This
had to cost way more then an entire Apple II clone to produce or purchase.
Looks like it made a neat monitor stand though.
I think it's perfectly acceptable for that thing to be ridiculous and be
legitimately collectible. It's like an exhibit in a freak show. I do
remember wanting one because I thought it would be a cheaper way to get an
Apple II.
