My guess is that would be an RF modulator to use a television set as a monitor. You'd connect to the antenna input on the television set and set it to channel 3 or 4 (set on the modulator) and the TV is a computer monitor.. . . something apple branded called a "modulator," . . .
Congrats on the new IIc! Always nice to get things from original owners who had some pride in ownership.My wife's uncle found out I was a fan of vintage Apple equipment so he sent some boxes over. A complete, working, Apple IIc machine, complete with all the manuals, a joystick, something apple branded called a "modulator," an ImageWriter, and some sealed 5.25 inch floppy disks! He bought these things new back in the 80s and they have been living in his garage for a few decades. I now have two fully functional IIc setups!
Ohhh, 80s hair styles! The people in the NES version have some quality facial expressions when they get an answer right (usually, smugness) or wrong (mix between shock and being rather PO'd). You have to wonder if the programmer was chuckling at seeing the finished product.The IIc had the Jeopardy game inside. I don't know about you, but I think Ethel is on something...
The Mobius 030 accelerator in my SuperSE (along with many other accelerators and other upgrade cards for the SE) have display outputs, but I never knew that was a thing with the Plus. Is it an internal card (if so, I wonder how it "interfaces" since there's no expansion port in the Plus) or something external?
That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Is there also a memory or processor expansion in there, or is it strictly external display?It is definitely an internal card. The port has been "hacked" into the place where a security cable normally would go. I am loathe to open it up to look because I have no idea how the card fits in there and I don't want to damage it...
In my case, there were extra control panels installed for the accelerator card. Another dead giveaway might be more than 4 MB of memory, which was how I first found out about the 030 accelerator in my SuperSE. (Besides all of the 50+ extensions and the strange "custom" boot screen.)I am not even sure how to check for a processor upgrade without cracking the thing open...
With that said, I'm not even sure if an accelerator card was ever made for the Plus. I'd assume some third-party company did at some point, but it would've been a more "advanced" or difficult upgrade than the accelerators found on later Macs with expansion ports.
