Apple IIc (International)

Description

The Apple IIc, Model A2S4000 is the compact Apple II. The only true portable computer in the Apple II Family and the very first portable model from Apple. Introduced in 1984, this computer was not only portable, but aimed at first time users with it’s true plug and play usability. With no user interface slots and the only Apple II with a built in 5 1/4″ disk drive, all it needed was an external power adapter and a monitor to be up and running. The equivalent of five slot cards were built in to the Apple IIc motherboard. An Extended 80 Column Card, two Apple Super Serial Cards, a Mouse Card, and a disk drive controller card. This meant the Apple IIc had 128 KB RAM, 80-column text, and Double-Hi-Resolution graphics built-in and available right out of the box. All you had to do is plug in the printer, mouse or other accessory without worrying about an interface card. Original sold for $1295 in 1984.

The Snow White coloring scheme was only used on this model in addition to the the brand new ImageWriter II and other IIc specific accessories. It came with a beige keyboard, disk drive door and volume control.

This International IIc has the original ROM 255 board, comes in it’s original box (note that the box had water damage so will ship inside another box). As you can see from the photos, it comes with the Owner’s Manual, original set of disks, external 240V power supply – (someone modified it in an attempt to get it to work in the US). Also included is a regular computer power cable not for use in this country (or this computer).

Differences in the IIc include a different keyboard. The top case has symbols instead of text for the lights and buttons.

*The IIc was tested with a US version power supply (the included modified 240V(we did not notice at first) did not act right in a 120V outlet), so there is no guaranteed that the external power adapter is good.
