Hi all. I just picked up an Apple //c at a thrift store. I am wondering
what it will take to get it powered up and running. I have the CPU and
nothing else. I tried searching through the "ball of cords" but didn't see
anything that looked like something that would power it. Also, I will need
to have some sort of a display for it. There were a couple of monitors
there, but nothing Apple and nothing that appeared that it would work with
it. Basically, the only experience I have with the Apple // series is with
the IIgs back in elementary school! Also, (a little OT) found an Apple
Keyboard II (PN M0487) and an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) mouse (the boxy one -
PN G5431) which I am now using on my B&W G3! The total for those three
items plus a used audio cassette with sales tax was $2.65. I figured that
even if the //c didn't work, at least I have a decent mouse now!
If I remember correctly, all but the last //cs used a large white power brick - so unless it looks like a regular power cord plugs in, that's what you need. As far as a monitor goes, you can use an RF modulator available at Radio Shack (or an old "game switch") and any TV, or any older monitor with an input plug that looks like an RCA jack. The original monitor that was commonly sold with the //c was a small 9" white monitor on a sort of square c-shaped stand.
