That's interesting, I always thought the Integer BASIC systems
only left one socket empty. That one was used if you bought the
Programmer's Aid #1. This system has Interger BASIC but only
has one socket empty so at first I figured it didn't have the
Programmer's Aid but maybe it does. I'll have to check tonight.
It does not have the original Monitor ROM. That seems to have
been replaced with the Auto-Start ROM. But I have one I can swap
with it. The mother board looks similar to the one in my early
Apple II+. It does have the jumper blocks on the side for memory
configuration. I'll have to check what revision it is.
It did come with the Red Book. I haven't looked through that, why
do those go for so much? Just because they didn't print that many
or does it have something the later manual was missing?
I believe the disk controller has been upgraded to a 16-sector
controller. I never thought about anyone looking for 13-sector
controllers. I bought my first system, an Apple II+, before the 16-
sector controllers and DOS 3.3 came out. When it did I put a
daughter board on my controller with a switch to select between 13
or 16 sector operation.
Other items that came with it. A bunch of other manuals, various
programs with the original boxes, 2 third party drives (can't recall
the name right now), original Apple Language Card & box, Grappler
Card, and some other stuff I dont' recall off the top of my head at
the moment.
Thanks for everyone's comments on value.
