I received several responses to my request of several weeks ago--I thank those who responded. Here is what I learned: 1) Memory expansion. It IS possible to expand all IIcs, although if the CPU and MMU are soldered to the motherboard, it is more difficult. I was pointed to the following vendor: Nexo Distribution 914 East 8th Street, Suite 109 National City, CA 92050 (619) 474-3328 (10am-6pm, PxT) They distribute a complete line of Apple II boards, one of which is a 1MByte memory expansion board. Unpopulated (uses 256Kbit, 150 nsec chips) it sells for $69. Just what I wanted. I ordered one and it works fine, so far. I suggest that anyone who wants to expand or augment any Apple II (+,e,c,gs) ask for their catalog, since it has quite a range of interesting products. 2) 400K Mac disk drives apparently don't work with the IIc. However, if you get a Laser Universal Disk Controller (originally designed by Central Point Software of Copy II+ fame), you can use them with PRO-DOS applications on the Apple II+, IIe, IIgs. -- Dave Jenner (206) 543-6182, 543-2888 (Message) Department of Astronomy, FM-20 BITNET: davej@uwaphast SPAN: 42169::59667::DAVEJ University of Washington UUCP: ...!uw-beaver!uw-entropy!phastvax!davej Seattle, WA 98195 INTERNET: davej@entropy.ms.washington.edu
