Given that I'm going to be repairing that Apple II

address?
48K on the motherboard, plus 16K on a standard RAM card (eg Language Card)
though I recall some that had 64K (not directly addressable, of course).
I also wonder whether it would be remotely possible to
"upgrade" it with
the old IIGS memory board that I swapped out of my GS a
while back ;)
(Probably no such luck there...)
No.
Last, but not least, what are some recommended
boards/peripherals for the
Apple II Plus? What about the IIe? (Yep, got one of
those too -- I'm sure
this one really _is_ a IIe, and I'd be especially interested in knowing
about the IIGS upgrade) What about the IIGS?
I'd suggest language card, parallel printer card -- preferably one of the
better ones such as a Grappler card, serial card, 80-column card, second
Disk ][ card and two more drives if you want to run UCSD, hard drive
controller, ...
The //e takes the same cards, except that it already has 64K RAM and has no
need of a language card; it also has provision for a special 80-column card
in Slot 3, set back from the rest of the slots.
