A friend of mine had a IIc - I had my mom's IIe every summer (she was a teacher). I finally got my own IIgs, and have had an Apple ever since.

That keyboard was the inspiration for the IIgs keyboard - to my mind, the best kb ever made by Apple.

Now, for the ultimate question: how're you gonna hook it up to the internet? When I unearthed one of my brother's old Duo 230s, we were fortunate enough to also have found the ethernet dock I bought for him, and hell if it didn't just plain work.

got an IIc back in 1990 or so. With a defect disc controller. by some look I found an entusuiastic apple dealer that helped me to get a replacement chip from apple (only in exchange for the old one) and found someone to solder it on the board. I ran perfectly.

@delfuego: I found instructions on how to configure it as a dumb terminal for my Mac. I'll play with that for a while, but what I *really* want to do is to dig up some old Apple II BBS software and let people connect to it over telnet, using my Mac mini as a proxy.

Where's the money shot of it actually, you know, on?!? Memories of middle school book reports are flooding back. Great set.

Anyone else remember Roy Scheider using one of these in "2010: A Space Oddysey"? It even had the near-mythical flat screen on it. In a couple of years you could make that vision come true!

Seriously, I had one of these back in the day. Awesome computer, replaced with my also long-lost IIGS. There's something about those pre-Mac Apples that hasn't been replicated in today's new Macs.

I used one of these every day back in junior high. That really brought back memories. Loved that machine. I can almost feel the ProDOS coming back to me. Thanks for the set.

I loved my //c! It was my second computer (after the Sinclair ZX-81) and my main computer for my first teaching job. A bunch of us teachers had a little user group and shared software between ourselves. I never paid for a single piece of software. Yep, I been a pirate for a long time! Thanks for the pics, it really brought back memories. BTW, It's still in my basement.

@ Bettnet
YES, that "2010" scene of Roy Scheider on the beach with his ultra-flat Apple II Air...er, I mean //c is one of the first things I thought of.

Of course, watching the movie, knowing that the //c has no battery capability, I had to suspend my disbelief about the fact that there probably wasn't an AC outlet within range of his cord, way out there on the beach...

My first was also an Apple //c (if you don;t count the Ohio Scientific from 1985).

Enjoy your new toy.

We had a ][c I played ALL the Infocom games on that puppy! We didn't have the super cool monitor tho...we had an amber monitor. Anyone else remember TAIPAN? You had to go from city to city and buy and sell stuff and fight pirates.

The ][c was the second computer, an Aquarius with the rubber keyboard and the 40 column thermal printer and software from Toys R Us. I even turned papers in printed out on that 40 column thermal printer :)

Taipan! That was an awesome game... oh how about Karateka, if you ran towards the Princess at the end, she kicked you in the family jewels... lol. I played the Ultima games from I - V on my //c.

I had a similar set growing up, different stand though, I also had the thermal printer. Finding ribbons for that printer was a pain in the rear end where I lived...
