Okay, so what's a ][c+ (or //c+)? And how does
one distinguish it from the
normal, run-of-the-mill //c? (Preferably without having to open it up?)
Are they worth picking up (//c or //c+) for trading fodder? Anyone need a
//c?
A //c+ is an improved version of the //c. For starters, it had a 3.5"
drive instead of a 5.25". It ran at a clock speed of about 3.3Mhz
(instead of ~1Mhz). It had an internal power supply (instead of an
external brick). It may have come with more RAM standard. I think there
was something special about the built-in ports that the //c didn't have.
//c's are pretty plentiful but it was Apple's first portable, so no
serious collector should be without one. The //c+ is a bit harder to come
across, but not impossible by any stretch.
