| The Apple II Plus was introduced in June 1979 as the successor to the original Apple II. It featured a 1 MHz MOS Technology 6502 processor and came with 48 KB of RAM, expandable to 64 KB. The computer retained the same general design as the Apple II, including color graphics, sound capabilities, and expansion slots. One major improvement was the inclusion of Applesoft BASIC in ROM, developed by Microsoft, which supported floating-point arithmetic. The II Plus was compatible with most Apple II software and peripherals and became popular in education and business settings. It could connect to cassette or floppy disk storage and used a standard TV or monitor for display. Production of the Apple II Plus continued until December 1982, when it was succeeded by the Apple IIe. Its reliability, expandability, and strong software ecosystem made it one of the most influential home computers of its era. |
