Apple IIc

[er10b]

My IT teacher had a IIc and a IIe Platinum (with numeric keypad). The IIc quit years ago but the IIe Platinum is still playing Lemonade Stand on a colour screen to this day.

[Izavos]

Nice work good old days of Apple IIe IIc.

I learned a lot with the IIe.

It's good to remember the past.

Congratulations.

[MarkMphonoman]

Nice video. I have an Apple iic and it makes me laugh whenever I have to keep changing disks to do something productive. I ran Tetris on it this week and Bank Street Writer. Also, Carmen Sandiego. Lots of software still out there for the good old Apples.

[MichaelJE2]

I learned touch typing on one of these in elementary school, that was between 1996 and 1998! I miss it, I want to buy one. :D

[mashersmasher]

is there a way to format PC 5.25 floppies for the apple II?

[nviso209]

Thats the same machine I have in storage now That was a gift to my parents in 1986...

[lostintheapplasauce]

omg! i used to play "test drive" for hours on my apple IIc! waaaaaay back!

[jettero1]

I cant believe i gace away a BBC Acorn 32k computer to a car boot sale way back in 1993 Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

[g7b7a7]

I want it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the video.

[DylanMayhew]

Hey great video but I have one question for you, I am going to get a Apple IIc tomorrow but I was just wondering what do you need to hook it up to a tv? I will have one of those monochrome monitors for it but I much rather have it hooked up to the tv for color and well to save desk space cause then I can just stick it some where and take it out and hook it up when I want to use it. rather then using limited desk space. thanks.

[mankyman6]

You people are lucky. All I happened to find that was old was an old "Brother Super PowerNote" and it wouldn't even turn on!

What I would give if I were to have one of these.

Oh well, maybe I can ask my granddad about what he did with his old Commodore 64.

[toomanyhobbies42]

Despite the fancy gui on the early macs, the older apple 2 series outsold them for a long time. (Better software, more open and expandable)

[SpencerX2Productions]

Nice shirt...Oh yeah, nice computer too!

[macvalle]

I have one too! Well actually I've got three of them (Got more when people started throwing them into the trash. I saved and stored them. So I've got kind of "an Apple //c -lost animal home". I take care of them and feed and take them out for a walk regularly.)

[globewriter]

My favorite Apple computer of all time. It was just so damned cute for the time..still cute today actually.

[dadburnde]

I went to amateur radio fest and found a box of over 100 5.25 floppy disks for $1 and got two external drives for free

though the floppies are for trs-80 and tandy computers I would think you could format it to apple

[dadburnde]

apple external drives

[jamesoleruster]

How big is the hard drive?

[matthewrsiegel]

there's only a floppy drive, no hard drive :)

[poopskinTheLiar]

Ain't got one!

(the IIC used Bootfloppies.)

[jamesoleruster]

Good ol' dos.

[smedly500]

I WANT ONE SO BAD!

[dan50046]

i dusted off my olddd apple iic and tried playing some of my favorite games (my hacked version of carmen sandiago, lode runner, etc.) but something is messed up with the directional keys its like the down arrow is being held down but I'm not doing it. if anyone can help me with this i'd appreciate it

[jamesoleruster]

My dads computer had the same problem with D key. It made it difficult to type and the D key didnt work for a while

[mweezy]

Hahaha..................I still have a Mac PowerBook 540C and a PowerPC 6360 in the basement. They both work but I'm now willing to sell them to anyone who is a collector.

The PowerPC comes with a monitor with a built in mic and speakers, a keyboard, and a mouse.

[poopskinTheLiar]

too bad the IIC never got the attention it really should of...i mean, the power of the IIE but with slightly less expandability! i really don't tinker around with the inside of computers much, so if i was around in '84 it'd be great for me if i wasn't using a C64 or a IBM.

[kidcouger]

you could have said shiznet

[SonicRocky21]

maybe my computer will get a virus if i had an old computer

[SonicRocky21]

that computer is so old

[marceloyanez111]

how much did u pay for this lot or did you just buy em all seperately?

[Polygonal95]

Excellente époque ! ! !

[REIworker]

my apple IIc still works!!!!!

I love it

[Aqwert76]

nooob

[KashFourierKitten]

It wasn't so bad for the time because it did support color. Of course the highest resolution available was an odd 560x192 at 16 colors. Okay, it wasn't like the Atari ST that came out a year later; that was a true gaming computer for the time.

[jamesoleruster]

That was your brand new comp in 1983 so GET OVER IT! i sware some people are spoiled with technology today.... uggghhh.............!!! makes me so angry....!!!!!!! >:-0

[HBeagley]

Please Do A Video About The iMac G3 Above That Apple ][

System Please

[marshalauth]

I have a IIgs. I LOVE it. I need to use it more though. It came with a ton of educational software. I made my own software disks though.

[iamdigitalman2]

The external disk drive you have is actually called the "Apple 5.25". There was a "Disk //c" for this machine, it was slightly smaller, same color as the //c, and had no pass through port.

Also, the mouse you showed is the Mouse //c. Again, same color. The Macintosh mouse has a darker, non matching button.

That being said, you have a very nice setup there. I like the Appleworks on only 1 disk, I need to do that to a copy so I don't use up 2 precious floppys. I also need a manual...

[VectronicsAppleWorld]

Good job. Thanks for posting.

[th3sp0rk]

you can use a mouse with this thing.

[chocolateflavoredgum]

wow! this really takes me back. we got an apple IIc in 1984, when i was 5, and my folks didn't retire it until after I graduated high school in 1997. so it was the computer I used all throughout my formative years for word processing and game playing. when they packed it away (they still have it up in their attic) it worked perfectly. amazing machine.

[606937juju]

mac a vid on the imac up there. is it a g3?

og i am like obseesed with them lol

[dashwarts]

Why don't you plug it in to your TV for color? There's a composite port on the back labeled like |[]| you can plug to the video-in on most TV's

[nagarjun424]

i think it looks nice n retro in monochrome!

[jamesoleruster]

more like green and black. it was standard for the time

[GPOTOM]

Good video, it makes me want to get an Apple //c even more now!

[austinramsay]

what version of appleworks is that?

[hypermannen]

on 02:31 he said it was apple works 2

[austinramsay]

your very lucky to have all that, I would pay a lot of money for all of that. Where did you get all of that stuff?! Awesome, very lucky!

[zeppelinboys]

Very nice! your lucky to find all of these old apple products

[naton6]

i just got my grandparents old IIc

[jacobdallen]

How many people still own a IIc? The IIc was my first computer. I wasn't alive then, but I was alive to witness the Power Macintosh 6100 and Macintosh Classic II. Best Macs ever.

[jacobdallen]

Cool bloody computer! And, as a compliment, you speak pretty good English for a Belgian. What OS does that iMac have?

[applefanBE]

They both run Tiger :-)

[mashersmasher]

@applefanBE have you tried sticking xubuntu on the imac g3? i put it on mine and it works really well. it's actually a very functional computer with linux. i found even with 512mb of ram that it was slow with tiger

[malmvaegen]

the IIc did'nt have a graphical user interface. so what was the mouse for?

[ueberRegenbogen]

There were GUI apps (incl many paint apps) for the 8 bit Apple II's. Most (incl a Finder-like thing called MouseDesk—which Apple bought and renamed Apple II Desktop) required the double hi-res mode. But there were some that would run on even a II+.

There was a mouse card for slotted II's. (AFAIK, none of the DE-9 plugged mice mice are compatible with each other, except maybe the Mac and Lisa mice.)

[themacintoshguy]

that mouse is the original apple //c mouse :P

[RockinBlueKat]

That's a Apple 5.25 drive... The original Disk ][ drives had black faces and wribbon cables coming out of the back and did not daisy chain.

[darkus13]

that floppy is like... pizza sized floppy, giant

[stargater94]

lol... yea those are the 5 in floppies... those flopies actualy were floppy, unlike the 3 in floppy that we all know and love (or do we..)...

[Izavos]

Obrigado Sr.Woz

Jamais esquecerei quando vi o Apple IIe com o prompt do Prodos.

Era todo meu, e meu mundo mudou para sempre, 6502 na veia !

Comparados com os problemas e Bug dos sistemas de hoje!

Eramos felizes e não saibamos !

Charles.

[onin67]

wow man, an interesting video, i have one Apple //c too, is really an amazing computer :D

[1DaveyPocket]

I have an apple IIc with lots and lots of software and stuff to it. When I turned it (after being left in the attic for 20 years)the keyboard didn't work! I figured out it was the keyboard ROM that was bad. So I bought a IIe of the web! I loved my IIc while it lasted :(.

[applefanBE]

sorry to hear ...

[mashersmasher]

@1DaveyPocket be sure it's not the disable button! i thought my keyboard didn't work until i realized the switch was bad. 2 min of soldering fixed it. 

[Melissadef]

Great. Well done Mr Wozniak!

[ironman36]

memories

[Luzern76]

Cool. I also have one. The 1986 models could be upgraded to 1 megabyte, if I recall correctly. Also, the 5.25" drive was replaced with the 3.5" for '87. My school bought two of those that year. Keep it alive!

[applefanBE]

Will do !

[mashersmasher]

@Luzern76 i think mine is a an 86 model and i don't see any open jacks inside. did you have to solder the ics into it?

[someone2602]

Cool computer! Looks like a lot of fun! That monitor is just really cool looking!

[bjhorton2005]

Very nice video! thank you for sharing that wonderful piece of history. I too, like your setup.

[spacewind]

wow this is awesome, great setup!
