Apple IIc troubles

[aeromark98]

I recently inherited an Apple ][c (yes, I know it's obselete), and I want to turn it on. The problem is, I don't have the power adapter, AKA "The Brick." I have no idea where to get one. Can someone please help???

Oy.

It uses a 12V DIN-7 (seven pin) connector. There are no branded ones on eBay specifically for the Apple IIc (though I'm sure you knew that), and I haven't found a way to rig one yet.

Still looking, though.

EDIT: Apparently, there are places that still may carry them.

Thanks, macdude425. I'm still looking too, although tomorrow I might take it to the local computer repair shop to get the keyboard fixed. I'm gonna ask them about it.

I found the adapter at Shreve Systems website-$100
Gonna keep looking

I don't know if wasting money on it is really worth it, but hey, it's your money :|

How can wasting money on the world's greatest personal computer be a waste?

(Since I own an Apple IIe, I can say this and not sound contrived.)

is that a joke..? XD

Oh, sorry. Macdude425 must be wrong, because Norton System Works, RegCleanMaxTreme, and SuperIOfireWall don't wrong on the Apple IIe.

I'm not saying it's wrong... I just googled a Apple IIe and I'm getting something like $1500+Tax for 5mb HDD?...

That's right. The fact that they have a working ProFile or whatever other drive they're selling is amazing. Granted, that is a bit high, but old harddrives do go for a good bit these days.
