-
-
- > How are the expansion slots different from a normal apple?
-
- The slots work pretty much the same as the Apple II+ except for the
- expansion slot. You can't use a memory card that was designed for
- use with Apple's slot 7, however, Applied Engineering did make a
- card that would allow you to increase the memory. Don't remember
- offhand which one that was.
-
- > Is it compatible with the apple IIe or IIc or etc?
-
- It's compatible with an Apple II+
-
-
- > Where do I get the manuals for it?
-
-
- > Did I pay to much for it?
-
- I don't think so. I used one for a few years and it was a good
- computer.
-
- > Is Franklin Ace still in business?
-
- Franklin is still in business...They make those little
- spelling gadgets. They no longer make the Apple compatible
- computers. They were making IBM compatible for a while. Don't
- know if they still are.
-
-
- > Which slot does the 80 col/memory expansion board go in?
- > (There are 8 slots 0 through 7)
-
- I believe the 80 col card goes in slot 3.
-
- > How much memory does in have? (Without the above board)
-
- 64K
