C128 vs Apple IIc+
« on: April 21, 2004, 03:40:59 AM »
What do you think?

I still mess w/ my IIc+, but a dude might want to trade a C128D for it.

What do you think had better graphics (sound is a given)?

@Blakespot

Your dead on the IIc+ specs. The monochrome double-high-res is Killer, but slow.

Nobody wrote games for it.

@all concerned

Here's the deal.

The IIc+:
4mhz
800K floppy
and I have the ultra-rare 1Meg Ram Board (why he wants it). I also have apple paddles, joystick mouse and I can get files to a Mac and straight to the Apple II via the 800K floppy.

But:
I think the crowd is right as far as games go. C64 was my third computer (1stTRS-80CoCo2w/32K, 2-Vic-20,short lived).
Most C64 games killed the AII games in sound and graphics.

Even though I have a couple of rare items for the AII I suspect my beer nights might be better served by a C128D.

(to those that used them-Those Apple II keyboards I still think are the best. I would use them today if I could)

Is a C128D rare stateside?

Now if I could find somebody to trade me my A600 setup for one I could keep both of the crusty old rigs. :) Anyone?

Oh yeah, one more consideration...

How to get disk images or files from a modern computer to a C128D?
