        I have one of these Plastic cased Apples. One question I do have is what sort of keyboard they use. The keyboard conector on the mother board is wited directly to a nine pin serial socket on the back of the machine. Does it use the standard Apple II keyboard in a special case?? I seem to remember seeing info on how to wire an IBM keyboard to an apple some where. Can this be done for this machine?? Or am I mistaken. In spite of my small collection of Apple II parts I have never really taken much notice of these machines until recently when I have decided to do a "clean out" so advice on how to get this Apple in a more useable state would be apreciated......
