So what about the famous Apple ][ series?

To answer your question on the "size" of the IIc it is 11 1/2 inches wide by 12 inches long by 2 1/4 inches high. So it should fit just about anywhere. You'll want to put the carry handle, on the rear, down so that it is propped up. That way you'll get air flow underneath to help keep it cool.

obviously, [Except in spaces smaller than 11.5 x 12 x 2.25"

Practically, you're correct about no disk access, but technically, no. You could type in enough machine language routines and essentially "type DOS into memory." 8-o
To expand upon that, you need a disk to do anything useful. I don't believe that the IIc has a tape port. If it did, you could use a cassette in place of a disk to store your programs on one side, and music on the other. ;D
You have too much time, Dog Cow ;-) . However mortals can type in enough guff to enable a Super Serial card to receive data from a second computer, thus creating a boot disk.
Apple IIc just arrived! (Minus the power supply; I'll have to contact the seller to ask about that)
It certainly looks yellow, and it's a bit dirty, but otherwise the keys seem great, etc. How do you open the case, though? If I can't run it just yet I can at least make sure all the parts are intact...
Just in case the sellers don't find a power supply, does anyone here have one that they might want to offer?
Thanks,

Flip it over, unscrew the screws. See:

Aargh! I got all the screws out, but I can't get the case off! It seems to be sticking near the spacebar, in the center front. Any good ways to get the case off?

Or, you could send DOS in via the serial port, a la:

I managed to get the case off (I did end up gouging the casing a tiny bit) but after a look at the interior I realized that opening it up again anytime soon won't be necessary.
This Apple IIc, despite having a dirty outside, has a pristine interior! Shiny logic board, no signs of leakage...and I even cleaned the casing and keyboard, so now the whole thing looks pristine!
So now I need a power supply so that I can see what this thing can do!

Umm...no, I think I'll pass on that one.
Very interesting...I suppose if the voltage is correct it may work though.
I know this is somewhat off-topic, but since car batteries have been brought up, does anyone know of a good tutorial online that shows how to disconnect the cable from a car battery to reset a fluke check engine light?
