Run an Apple II on your Linux system
The Apple II (often referred to as the Apple ][) was released in June 1977. It was one of the first successful mass-produced computers and Apple’s first personal computer aimed squarely at the consumer market. The hardware was designed primarily by Steve Wozniak and the case by Steve Jobs, who were the founders of Apple.
In 1977 there were three machines vying for attention and inclusion in our lives: the Commodore PET 2001, TRS-80 and the Apple II. Powered by a MOS Technology 6502 CPU running at 1,023MHz and available with between four and 64KB of RAM, the Apple II spawned a series of machines from 1977 to 1992, ending with the Apple IIGS.
Our favourite Apple II models in the series are the Apple IIc and the IIc Plus. You might be thinking, “Why?”. Well, these models both featured a built-in floppy disk drive (5.25- and 3.5-inch, respectively) and they were designed to be portable. They are by no means a laptop, but they took up very little space, and offered plenty of power and compatibility with software. The downside of these machines was that they lacked the space to install aftermarket add-ons. This didn’t stop some ingenious individuals, who managed to squeeze CPU accelerators and RAM
