Museum Pieces
Piece 1
- Model Number:
A2S2064 - Serial Number:
1A2S2-277998 - Date Acquired: Early Spring, 1994
- Functional Condition: Fully Functional
- Physical Condition: Fair, Missing 4 key, indentation in front edge, slightly discolored. A bit dusty.
- Add-Ons: Two Apple Disc ][ 5.25" disc drives, Apple Disc Controller Card, Apple 80 Column Card, Apple A2M2010 Green Phosphor Monitor, Apple Super Serial Card, Apple ImageWriter Printer (A9M0303), various software
- Remarks: I also acquired a really cool disc card that takes a compact flash card as disc media, and allows you to use it as a really fast ProDOS Hard Disk, however, the firmware on the card only works on Enhanced //e machines with a 65C02 processor, and therefore will not work with this machine. The purchase was a minor error on my part: I didn't check compatibility. The creator has a new version that will work with this machine. See CFFA for Apple //

Personal Notes
The Apple //e is the most popular variant of the most influential personal computer of the '70s and '80s. I grew up using the Apple //e, and fell in love with computers because of this machine. I learned structured programming, the concepts of machine language, circuitry and all different kinds of computer science goodies because of this beautifully engineered and powerful 8-bit computer.
These two museum pieces are the most reliable computers I own. At 25+ years old, they still function exactly as they did the first day they were built.
