Finally got me an Apple II+. Well, motherboard only...but it's fully populated and looks really clean. So now the hunt for a case and keyboard begin. I couldn't resist...the price was really good.

Anyway, if you ignore the massive amount of RAM chips it has (48K), it's really amazing the quality and functionality of such a computer with "not that many" chips.

Yeah, it has a lot of chips but not an insane amount. If one were to build it today (using only TTL logic), I imagine the chip count could come down somewhat. (SRAM, etc.).

Too many coals in the fire...eventually I plan on getting this thing working.

I have one from 1980 (flat power indicator). Just the case, lid, and keyboard (no MB or PS), B+ condition the last time I looked. Say the word and it's yours. Oh yeah, we've been through this little dance before with my Franklin Ace, which is now in Atlanta at my parents' apartment.

Hey! Yeah, I'll send you a PM about that.

On the Apple II+ case, yes please! I'd be happy to buy it from you and of course, pay shipping.

Sending a PM...

I just love getting these old things back to life.

Thanks!
