View manifest View in Mirador. Description In , computer pioneers Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs began selling their Apple I computer in kit form to computer stores. Wozniak and Jobs demonstrated a prototype in December, and then introduced it to the public in April The Apple II started the boom in personal computer sales in the late s, and pushed Apple into the lead among personal computer makers.
External storage was originally on cassette tape, but later Apple introduced an external floppy disk drive. Among the Apple II's most important features were its 8 expansion slots on the motherboard. These allowed hobbyists to add additional cards made by Apple and many other vendors who quickly sprung up. This "killer application" was extremely popular and fostered extensive sales of the Apple II. The Apple II went through several improvements and upgrades. By , when the Macintosh appeared, over 2 million Apple II computers had been sold.
Nominate this object for photography. I purchased my Apple II plus in I think I was a mainframe computer programmer so I went on to write a compiled floating point basic computer game called Hegira.
Later I loaned my computer to a local private school for the elementary kids to learn about computers. I included some of the games, typically arcade types. New still in original box unopened. Does anyone know the value. It is in working condition except the mouse needs a battery to allow me to move the cursor around unless there is another way. I have an Apple laptop Macintosh PowerBook in great condition with the owners manual, dial up modem, system discs carrying shoulder bag everything.
Should I sell them individually? I listed them together, have lowered price several times, and even offered free shipping. I have a k, and a k both with original carry case and boxes for every single part i. I bought them working from a nasa engineer a few months back, and have had them listed both on eBay under 1 listing, is that hurting my potential sale or is it the fact I only have some odd reviews?
I am willing to donate it if someone would want it. What do you think? In very good condition and in working order. Condition: Overall excellent, like-new condition. Computer, mouse, external floppy drive, and printer all work well. Also have original boxes, though the one for the Mac is a little ragged, the one for ImageWriter II is in excellent shape.
I have an eMac computer and an Apple Macintosh computer bag which is in good condition. I am wondering what they are worth and how to sell them. The computer is too big to fit in this computer bag. I am not sure if the computer is working at this stage. They belonged to my partner who died recently. He loved all things Apple. I have a working apple IIe, disk II, keyboard, printer, and all original disks. I have some NeXt computers monitors and a printer.
Any idea who would be interested in this?? How much would an Apple Laser writer II go for that powers on and has the red paper feed light on? I have an eMac all white in essentially mint condition. It still works but does not have original packaging, keyboard or mouse.
Any ideas on the value? Any comments? My dad has a Macintosh Performa with a mouse and keyboard with a style writer II printer in good condition. Good condition on box. Not perfect on box. Looking for help on value and selling this. I have a mackintosh lcll complete with monitor and printer all mackintosh brand new in original packaging what is the value of it. I have an Apple Macintosh Classic in mint condition.
What is a value of this computer? This is a great article. Do you see a resurgence of people collecting working Apple computers as long term investments, for instance an eMac model A? I imagine the lower the number of units produced the higher the value appreciation. Would these be equally as valuable for parts? At present processing power seems the great driver of IT, though I wonder whether new ideas will decrease the need for processing power and allow for tech to evolve to allow interopability with old tech.
I have an Apple 1 previously owned by an Apple developer. It is not functional. Will I have better luck selling it on ebay or contacting an auction house? If auction house, can you recommend the best for this type of product? I have a PowerBook g4 laptop but it has a problem with the screen.
At times everything will be covered in purplish blueish pixelated boxes that covers the screen. When I tried hooking up an external monitor, the same problem happened.
Do you know a way to fix this? I have a Macintosh SE double disk but I don't have keyboard or cords and not sure if it works as I found it in my uncles garage when he passed away so I wanted to know how much or if it's worth anything it's dated at model number M with 1Mbyte Ram,Two k Drives.
Any brands other than Apple will not increase value much. I have a Performa I can't see it listed, it is in excellent condition I just checked it's still working has an old Quark and an old Photoshop app on it. What can I expect to get for it? Hi, I'm trying to find out how much a black Macintosh power PC is worth. Can any one help or point me in the right direction for advice.
All in working order with box. Did you know that if you open the 1st edition Macintosh , All of the original designers have their signatures on the inside of the cover including Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
I have an old iBook, still works, date on back is Mac OS 9. I don't know if I should ship it back to San Francisco, or throw it away.
Customers also got an audio cassette interface for loading programs and storing data. One year later, Apple debuted its enormously successful Disk II drive , which let users replace their audio cassettes with much-faster floppy disks.
The Apple II became a giant hit for Apple. Despite efforts to replace it with machines like the ill-fated Apple III and more successfully the Macintosh, demand remained incredibly strong for the Apple II for more than a decade.
We refused to acknowledge any of the good column cards that were in the outside world—only ours, which had a lot of problems. Wozniak went on in that interview to say that at one time he had written some fast disk routines for the Pascal system on the Apple II, and was criticized by the Apple III engineers.
That was the mindset of the entire company at the time. Apple has been much maligned for the attention they gave the Apple III project, while suspending all further development on the Apple II. They pegged their chances for the business market in on the Apple III.
We could have added the accessories to make it do the business functions that the outside world is going to IBM for. There had never been a microcomputer that had sold well for more than a couple of years before it was replaced by a more powerful model, usually from another company.
However, during the entire time when Apple was working on the III as a computer to carry the company through until Lisa would be ready, and during the entire time that the Apple II was ignored by its own company, it continued to quietly climb in sales. It is a credit to both the ingenuity of Wozniak in his original design, and to the users of the Apple II in their ingenuity at finding new uses for the II, that its value increased and stimulated yet more new sales.
When Apple saw that the sales on the Apple II were not going to dwindle away, they finally decided to take another look at it. Diana was intended primarily to be an Apple II that had fewer internal components, and would be less expensive to build. Walt Broedner at Apple did much of the original hardware planning, and was one of those at Apple who pushed for the upgrade in the first place.
To display column text would require switching between the two memory banks. Broedner realized that with little extra effort he could do the same for the entire 64K memory space and get K of bank-switchable memory.
The column firmware routines were mapped to slot 3, since that was a location commonly used by people who bought column cards for their Apple II computers, and was also the place where the Apple Pascal system expected to find an external terminal. The auxiliary slot also supplied some special video signals, and was used during manufacture for testing on the motherboard.
The engineers who worked on the IIe tried hard to make sure that cards designed for the II and II Plus would work properly in the new computer. A socket was included on the motherboard for attaching a numeric keypad, a feature that many business users had been adding with difficulty to the II Plus for years. These keys were electrically connected to buttons 0 and 1 on the Apple paddles or joystick. The newer electronics of the keyboard also made it easier to manufacture foreign language versions of the Apple IIe.
Over all, Broedner and Peter Quinn the design manager for the IIe and later the IIc projects and their team managed to decrease the number of components on the motherboard from over one hundred to thirty-one, while adding to the capabilities of the computer by the equivalent of another hundred components. Peter Quinn had to beg for someone to help write the firmware revisions to the Monitor and Applesoft for the IIe.
You have to know how to get through the mine field. He was extremely good. He added in all the column and Escape-key stuff.
