According to the New York Times, Apple will introduce a portable version
of the IIe on April 24th called the Apple IIc.
$1295
Briefcase size (no display)
128Kb "internal memory"
One floppy disk
7 1/2 lbs excluding 5 lb battery pack
Full size key board
Optional mouse
Since the II series is based on the 6502 I wonder how the 128K is mapped.
I am intrigued by the mouse; are they planning a Lisa/Mac-like interface?

I would presume the 128K on the Apple IIc will be mapped the same way as the 128K on an Apple //e. Apple has already announced a series of Lisa/Mac-like software for the entire Apple II series. Some is available now and more is coming. -- Dave Seaman ..!pur-ee!pucc-i:ags "Against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution."

I would imagine that the Apple IIc 128K memory and mouse are the same as on my Apple //e. The 128K is really two 64K memory pools, each bank-switched the old Apple II+ way, with the 64K pool selected by soft switch. The mouse is an Apple Mouse II ($125 including MousePaint software)
