Re: Not really a Mac, but pretty cool

Apple IIs and Macintoshes do seem quite susceptible to "yellowing with age." I guess you could say that's an advantage of the fruit-flavored case designs and the current Graphite/White/Silver theme. Spiritus ex Machina wrote: > Don't know about your system, but I picked up a II-GS, AppleColor RGB

Re: Not really a Mac, but pretty cool

Don't know about your system, but I picked up a II-GS, AppleColor RGB Monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, floppy drives, ImageWrier II, and a U-Haul medium (3.0 cu. ft.) box of software and docs for $10US at a yard sale today. Some of that software was on REALLY floppy (5.25") disks. Based on the amo

Re: Not really a Mac, but pretty cool

Yes, it is true. All Apple computers were color capable. Of course, if your Apple II is on a monochrome monitor like mine, it won't be. -On the IIc: I think the IIc has an RGB monitor port on the back (I know the GS does). If it does, you should be able to use any Macintosh monitor with it. If not

Re: Not really a Mac, but pretty cool

Yep... A color monitor should work fine. You can hook up up to a TV ( though you won't get the same quality you would from an RGB monitor) with an RF converter from an Atari or NES system, or pick one up at RatShack for pretty cheap. I had both models of IIc...the IIc and the IIc+. The II

Hi everyone. This is not about a Mac, but it is about a vintage computer with the multi-colored Apple logo that we all know and love. I had a request come through on another e-mail list that I am on looking for anyone out there that has a working Apple //. It seems that the model railroad club
