Apple II Computer Info
Case has handle that doubles as a prop to raise the
rear of the computer for easy typing.
9. Keyboard:
Full layout keyboard with numeric keypad and function
keys. The copyrighted Open Apple and Closed Apple
have been replaced with Open Laser and Closed Laser
symbols. The keys have rollover and full travel and
a very nice feel.
10. Display:
The Laser 128EX/2 has all the graphics modes found on
the Apple IIc, with an extra character set for RGB.
--Text mode: 40x24 and 80x24. Characters are formed
by a 7x8 pixel matrix ON THE COMPOSITE OUTPUT. The
128EX/2's Video Display Generator chip also provided
both analog RGB video (for connecting an Apple IIGS,
Amiga, or Atari ST monitor) and digital RGB video
(for connecting a CGA monitor). In RGB mode, the
Video Display Generator (VDG) chip generates a text
character set identical to an IBM PC (with the
addition of the Open and Closed Triangle characters
and MouseText). Text mode is monochrome.
--Low Resolution: 40x48 pixels in 16 colors.
--Double Low Resolution: 80x48 pixels in 16 colors.
--High Resolution: 280x192 pixels in 6 colors
--Double High Resolution: 560x192 pixels in 16 colors.
--Combinations/Variations: 4 lines of text mode can
be mixed with a truncated Low Resolution or High
Resolution mode graphic. The text in mixed mode can
be either 40 column or 80 column.
11. Audio:
Simple beeper driven by the CPU. Because the Laser's
motherboard operates at 3.6Mhz (notice that it requires
120ns or faster RAM), sound in programs designed for
earlier Apple IIs is often distorted.
12. Media:
The Laser 128EX/2 has a built in 3.5" double-sided,
double-density floppy drive with a storage space of 800K.
The drive and the external daisy-chain floppy "SmartPort"
is driven by Video Technology's custom "Universal Disk
Controller" (UDC) disk array chip. The SmartPort supports
Apple IIe/IIc UniDisks (3.5" and 5.25" models), Macintosh
3.5" drives (the ones without the buttons), Apple IIGS
daisy-chain 3.5" drives and Apple 5.25" drives. It is
also designed to support the Chinook CT-series 20MB to
100MB SmartPort hard drives.
The SmartPort can support two 800K 3.5" drives, two
140K 5.25" drives, and one 100MB CT100 hard drive
simultaneously daisy-chained to each other.
The Laser 128EX/2 has one Apple bus compatible expansion
slot on the side opposite the 3.5" disk drive. This bus
can hold an Apple High Speed (DMA) SCSI controller for
running additional SCSI based storage devices.
