First, I noticed on the Apple ][e computers there were
two slightly
different keyboards. On a few, the icon on the Apple key was larger that
that on the rest of the computers. Is this one way to identify early Apple
][e computers, or is there any significance to it?
I don't know about this.
Second, I got a few monitors that say Apple III on
them. I had thought
these were for the Apple III computers; is this so, and/or were they also
used for other Apple computers?
We used one on our Apple ][+. One of the machines at the VCF was set up the
same way, I think.
Finally, I haven't checked the drives but are
there common problems I should
look for when I start checking out the drives?
Make sure the cables are aligned, otherwise you will fry a diode (it could be
another component -- I think it's a rectifier). This applies to the Disk ][ --
I don't know about other drives.
