Apple Iic Plus

History

The final Apple II model was the Apple IIc Plus introduced in 1988. It was the same size and shape as the IIc that came before it, but the 5.25-inch floppy drive had been replaced with a 3.5-inch drive, the power supply was moved inside, and the processor was a fast 4 MHz 65C02 processor that actually ran 8-bit Apple II software faster than the IIGS. Like later models of the original Apple IIc, the IIc Plus included a memory expansion slot that would accept a daughter-card carrying up to 1 MB of RAM. The IIc Plus also featured a new keyboard layout that matched the IIe Platinum and IIGS.
