In April 1984, Apple unveils the Apple IIc with
an intense publicity extravaganza, at the Moscone
Center in San Francisco (read the Article: Apple
announces Apple IIc at the F.A.Q.
Section)). During the presentation at Apple
Forever, CEO John Sculley made sure everybody
had an Apple IIc to look at. When he asked the
large crowd of Apple enthusiasts if they wanted
to see a IIc at work, a large crowd yelled back
in consent and 1,000 IIc's were held up for display.
Priced at US$ 1300, 2,000 dealers place orders
for more than 52,000 units on the day of its introduction.
The Apple IIc was the compact (the "c"
means compact) version of the Apple IIe. It had
the same characteristics but lot of features which
were optional on the IIe were provided on the
IIc (floppy disk drive, 80 columns display, color
display, 128 KB RAM), but unlike the Apple 2e,
it had no expansion slots, so it was hard to add
features to this computer. It came in a small
white case, and was built around an enhanced 65C02
processor, running at 1.4 MHz. It had 12 kB RAM,
(expandable to 1 MB) a built-in 5.25" floppy
drive on the side, and could be used with a mouse.
The Apple IIc+ was introduced in 1988, with a
4 MHz 65C02, RAM expandable to over 1 MB, a larger
ROM, and an optional internal 800 kB 3.5"
drive. The Apple IIc+ was discontinued in November
of 1990. It ran either with DOS 3.3 either with
ProDos and had the first version of QuickDraw
in ROM.
The Apple IIc was originally designed to be a
portable version of the Apple II, but it wasn't
a stand alone system, it had a powersupply and
no batteries, it coud also be used with a small
9" monochrome green screen which plugged
into the unit. The Apple IIc was mainly used as
a desktop computer. It sold well until it was
discontinued in September 1988 with the introduction
of the IIc+, the last computer in the II series.
The IIc+ included the new 800k 3.5" floppy
drive, 65C02 running at an option of 1 or 4 MHz
using a built-in processor switch, memory expansion
capability, and ports with mini DIN-8 connectors
(same as IIGS and Mac Plus). Though much better
than the IIc, it did not fare well due to compatibility
problems and the rise in popularity of the Macintosh
line and Apple II clones. The IIc+ was discontinued
in November of 1990.
Thierry Legros reports:
I have seen this Apple IIc into the movie "Explorers"
from Joe Dante with Ethan Hawk. This is the
computer the guy uses to connect his extra-terrestrial
electronic board which creates a force field.

Zitat
eines Apple IIc Käufers: Ich konnte
das Paket heute abholen. Ist ein sehr schönes
Gerät, habe heute frei, da werde ich mich
heute eine Weile damit beschäftigen.
Dieser Apple IIc hat eine QWERTY (US) Keyboard
layout und ein 240 Volt Netzteil. Der Apple IIc
ist getestet und funtioniert wie vor 20 Jahren.
Kommt mit dem kopierten Betriebssystem Apple DOS
3.3 auf 5.25 Zoll Diskette. Auf der B-Seite ist
das Spiel BANDITS - ein Phoenix Arcade Clone.
Kann man mit dem Keyboard steuern, macht einen
heiden Spaß! Sehen Sie die Photos.
Beim //c hat Apple einen kompletten Apple //e
einschließlich der populärsten Erweiterungen
(80 Zeichen-Karte, integriertes 5.25 Zoll Diskettenlaufwerk)
in ein sehr kompaktes Gehäuse gesteckt. Zusammen
mit dem 9"-Monitor ergab sich ein tragbares,
allerdings auf eine Steckdose angewiesenes System.
Der Apple //c tauchte in dem Film "2010 -
Das Jahr, in dem wir Kontakt aufnehmen",
der Fortsetzung des Kubrick-Filmklassikers "2001
- Odyssey im Weltraum", als Zukunftsvision
auf. Im Film war der seltene, von Apple erhältliche
LCD-Bildschirm an den Computer angeschlossen.
Somit hätten wir noch ein paar Jahre zu warten,
bis der //c erfunden wird ;-)
Das Design des //c wirkt auch heute noch modern,
es ist enwickelt von Hartmut Esslinger von Frog
Design Deutschland, Die rautenförmigen Tasten
oberhalb der Tastatur haben ganz offensichtlich
Atari beim Design der ST- und XE-Modelle inspiriert...
