Yesterday I opened my Apple //c to take a picture, and
I
found something strange: On the OS _EP_ROM is a batch
to close the window, handmade with the text "NOV 30, 83"
written on it. I always thought that the //c was released
in april '84 and first in the US - but this is an ordinary
(at least I think) german //c. There is no information
sticker on the case, so no serial number or exact modell
information is available (I forgot to check the revision
number on the mainboard). The character generator is also
'only' an EPROM, but the sticker on the window is premade
(paper) with a copyright notice (APPLE 83).
Is the texture of the case smooth or rough? Does it have the Apple logo
and the //c name imprinted on the top of the case towards the back end?
If you still have it open, look under the power supply (it takes some
force to pull the P/S out of its socket). What does it say underneath?
