This was my FIRST prized computer, and i used it throughout my law school studies. It was quite a hit when it was in production, and certainly stood up to the tasks of the day. I loved it, and so did all of my friends!!!

I have Apple IIc and few 5 ¼ disks with games, but I can’t make it display anything. Besides the screen with Apple IIc as a picture above, I do not see anything else. Any suggestion? I have not idea how to work this computer. Unfortunately our guinea pig chewed on power cord. Possible that is the problem, but it starts. Computer sees the floppy drive makes some noise and that’s all. After pressing control, clear apple end reset few times I am able to type some words in the command prompt mode.

I have an Apple IIc and an Apple IIe...they are in great shape...I do not have the monitor to the Apple IIc as I didn't like the little E.T. looking monitor. I had it traded with another monitor and it went bad and i threw it out. The Apple IIe has its own monitor with the double disk drive and keyboard/hardrive compact computer.

I have an Apple II Plus with 2 seperate disk drives, and an Apple IIe with the all in 1 seperate dual disk drive unit. I have a joystick and two Apple III monitors. Tons of 5.25 disks, I even have the shelf that goes over the II Plus to put the monitor on. They both fire up, and come to a prompt, but it has been decades, so I do not remember how to run them. I would like to sell both of them, reasonable for sure. Please let me know if you or someone you know are interested. Thanks.

Let me fix that: Ctrl-Open Apple-Reset is a full reset.
(Submitted March 27, 2006 16:00:55 by Jon Pruente)
Ctrl-Shift-Reset is a full reset, ie. it tries to load a program from the internal drive (S6D1). To drop to Applesoft BASIC press Ctrl- Reset. A great tip if your internal drive is flakey, and you have an external drive (S6D2) such as the Disk //c - Model A2M4050 is to type PR#7 from the BASIC prompt. That will get the //c to try to boot from the external drive. This won't work if you go to BASIC from a ProDOS disk, as the special routine for it is a hack in the ROM ApplesoftBASIC.
