KG7PFS Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Sorry to annoy you with stuff like this - I'm sure the answers are out there somewhere - but when multiple search engines don't help, it's time to bother the experts. You did know that you're experts, right? Ok, the dumbest question first: old-computers.com claims there was a 256 color upgrade for the IIc Plus released in 1989. I actually found a mistake on the site once, so I wonder if this is another one. But if not, where do I get this upgrade? According to multiple internet sources, Apple's RAM upgrade for the IIc will work in the IIc Plus if I replace the PAL chip. Where do I get the replacement PAL chip?

DeathAdderSF Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) A VGA card, Second Sight, was released for the standard Apple II line, but it needs a slot. No idea about anything like that for the IIc+ so I reckon it was a mistake on their part. Though if such a weird, wild product does exist, I'd be curious to know more. No idea about the PAL, but the a2heaven.com website sells an affordable RAM upgrade for the IIc+ that I personally own. It works great.

I don't know if it's even possible. I hope so. I know about a2heaven but would prefer a classic board. The new reproduction stuff works just as well, but it's just not the same.

DeathAdderSF Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I thought the problem was that the IIc-specific RAM upgrades don't physically fit in the IIc+ due to motherboard design changes, necessitating purchase of an upgrade specifically designed for the IIc+. Anyway if no one here can solve it for you, perhaps ask on a site like applefritter.com or some such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG7PFS Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 No, the board fits, the space inside is exactly the same. It's a timing problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
