This morning, a friend of mine brought over a pickup
truck load of Apple
computers, monitors, printers, and dead disk drives.
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?
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?
Finally, I haven't checked the drives but are there common problems I should
look for when I start checking out the drives?
Thanks in advance!
Just checked my A-lle's and yes, on mine the icon is bigger on the unenhanced
lle. Another way is in the start-up screen the enhanced lle displays Apple ll-e
the unenhanced does not. Many users upgraded their regular lle however and I
don't know if this is true with the upgrades. IIRC the A3 monitor came out
before the A3 and can be used with any ll.
Depending on the type of fdd there were definite sequential settings, so using
an A drive as a B drive and vice-versa was not possible without setting them
up. Sam undoubtably is busy but he could give you better info on this.
Any extra Super Serial cards ?
