> Apple //c I finally have one! The empty chip I have for the custom ROM replacement arrived today, too. I _think_ there are some differences, because the custom ROM for the //c+ has a lot more features than the one for the //c. Either way, this should be fun! I was thinking that ADTPro would let me just load things over serial as if it was a floppy, but instead it looks like I need actual floppies to write images to via the serial. I only have one disk right now! Next step is to get some kind of terminal program on it. I heard modem manager is the one to use. ... The seminar on time travel will be held two weeks ago

JP> If you're ok without the 3.5 it may well be a cheaper option to locate a IIc with an accesliorator in it. After all the IIc+ is essentially just a IIc with a rocket chip (I think) and the 3.5" in place of the 5.25... I don't think there's any significant ROM changes. A

AA> No idea where you might be, but IIc+ are only USA and hideously expensive Indeed :/. So hard to find, too! There are a TON of //c but not +s.

JP> I really do.. or at least a //c+. No idea where you might be, but IIc+ are only USA and hideously expensive now. Unless you find someone who doesn't know what they have. Always been an interesting looking machine, I suspect the lack of 5.25" might hamstring it a bit... can always hang a floppy emulator off the external diskport I guess. A

NA> Meh, I was a IIe fan. Thats the next best beast...

AG> Wwe had a 'lab' of several IIe machines back in elemtary school (early AG> 80s). One of the only schools in the area with a computer lab. Here in the land far down under I never saw any kind of network for them. Although we had a room full of stand alone machines... A

AA> You know you really all want a IIgs :P I really do.. or at least a //c+.

PL> More and more Apple is trying to force their customers to buy the newest products, not repair their PL> perfectly fine hardware and own them. I'm not so sure. Many of these compatability warnings are due to the fact that the hardware components are heavily tied to the security protections of the device. For example, a 3rd party touch ID sensor could contain hardware components that could compromise the security of the device, and thus it won't be allowed to unlock the phone. I would imagine as the camera hardware becomes more complicated (have you seen the camera package of a iphone 12 Pro?) Apple will not allow 3rd party replacement components because of compatibility, security or quality issues. These warnings are there to assure the integrity of your device and data. Not to prevent repair. Bob Roberts
