Wanted: Apple 2 series or clone
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2014 9:40 am
Matthew Smith here. I have all my teeth and have never written a game for the zx spectrum
I'm looking for any apple 2 series computer or clone meeting these criteria:
Not a 2gs.
Applesoft BASIC, lower case support, and 64KB of memory.
Some way of connecting to the modern world using any method described at http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/ I'm leaning to the cassette ports because that would save the expense of buying a serial cable and a usb adapter. I would need a floppy drive though.
I guess I need a monitor unless I can just use a tv (not sure about this). Anyway it doesn't need to be a flash one or even color.
I would be buying with cash since I don't have anything to trade. Because my budget is low I'm looking for a low spec machine - maybe one with external damage to the case or appearance defects but which still works when you turn it on. It wouldn't be a display piece - I want it for programming projects because
1. emulators are like kissing your sister
2. with an emulator you're never sure how fast your code would run on the real thing.
Cheers, Matt
