Comrades, are you ready for the II uprising ...

[II2II]

/me looks around in a paranoid fashion.

I think the Mac users are trying to make us disappear. Even after all of your years of loyalty to the cause. So we better make sure we are prepared, and catalog our arsenal.

Or to put it in less fanciful terms, what Apple II's do you have?

I'll start:

* Apple IIgs

* Apple IIc+

* Apple IIc (1 complete, 1 for parts)

* Apple II+

 

[MultiFinder]

I wish I had an Apple II...

 

[Patrickool93]

I have an Apple IIc+. somewhere .. I lost it I have it somewhere though

my first computer was a IIgs "Woz Edition" with upgraded video, ram 20mb external hd, imagewriter II with color ribbon and the RGB display. it was awesome. spyhunter was never so much fun. i think it ran os5, i doubt 6.

 

[Unknown_K]

How do you upgrade video on a IIgs?

The IIGS ran GS/OS, not Mac OS.

 

[Kallikak]

He didn't suggest otherwise. The last version of GSOS was 6.

 

[II2II]

There was the Second Sight SVGA card for the IIgs. I haven't heard much said about it in years, aside from it not being very compatible with anything. At the time that I was paying attention, it was rare and pricey. Likely more than a TWGS/ZipGS.

 

[iMac600]

I have an Apple ][+ with the European 240v Power Supply (hence "Europlus"). I also have a ][+ clone made by Apcom.

Hi,

Is there a fanciful way of counting of how many we have of each? I am sure I am into single digits of everything except the the IIgs.

Not really up grading Video on the IIgs, but most of the XBR series from Sony would display 80 Col on a 25 inch clear.

Will have to try the IIgs on my son's LCD when I go over there.

As far as the Mac user wanting us gone, brings up sad memories of past user group meetings that they belittled any II users and all they wanted to hear about the lastest mac items. Till you did not want to go.

 

[luddite]

I have:

18 beige IIe's

2 platinum IIe's

3 IIc's

1 IIc+

2 IIgs'

and (drumroll...)

1 Bell & Howell ][+

I think that's probably more than I need. ;-)

 

[bluekatt]

i'd rather have a lisa

but then who doesnt want one ?

 

[II2II]

I don't want a Lisa.

A Lisa would be cool to play with for a short time, but an Apple II would be better for long term enjoyment (IMHO).

Luddite: did you get the B&H computer while I ended up with the floppy drives?

 

[bluekatt]

i never used an apple 2 beyond an emulator which crashed

 

[II2II]

Weird. Which emulator? And did you have the ROM? (Typically, emulators don't ship with ROMs because of copyright concerns.) Also, did you have a disk image to play with?

 

[bluekatt]

to be honest ? i dont remember it has been a while it was on the windows ides of things and i wasnt really making an effort

While a Flight Lieutenant Instructor of my youth was fond of saying, "The price of liberty is eternal viligance (sic)", I don't believe that there is immediate risk from the Mac hordes. Especially not from those effete unupgraded original 68000 Macs ... Despite my cutting my teeth on IIes when they were new (Ah! the nostalgia for spaghetti BASIC coding for control of bacterial fermentations), my present Apple IIe, and its cousin card for LC Macs, languish in stately idleness at present. Fortunately I kept all my Apple floppies and software when the migration to Mac came, and have collected more than a few upgrades for Abraham in recent years. With luck, one day ...

/me was mostly being silly with the prelude to discussion.

I fired up my IIc+ a couple of days ago just to listen to the death march on Indy. (Not for the enjoyment of it, but just to confirm that it was in that game where I first heard it.)

Luddite: did you get the B&H computer while I ended up with the floppy drives?

I got the computer with 2 matching floppy drives and the A/V "backpack" while I was working part-time as a janitor at a high school. It was in the drama class' props room. I asked the drama teacher about itand he basically told me to dispose of it in any way I saw fit... SCORE!
