Hello my patrons! Ahh look at this! Thanks to Ricardo and Patrick, I now have these five wonderful Apple II clones... and guess what? At least 4 of them are broken, so that means more repair and exploration of these awesome machines! And as a bonus, this video is shot entirely upstairs in the Digital living room :-) Yeah I know!

I think there will be a flew of SMMC videos for a while as I REALLY need to chip away at the huge huge backlog of mail call stuff. If you are waiting on seeing what you sent in on video, don't worry, I will eventually get to it -- it just may take a little time.

I have to put these machines aside for now and finish working on the Plexus P/20. Lots of fascinating and interesting things are happening over on Discord regarding the machine --> https://discord.gg/Y4jK4HupKG If you join up, don't forget to check the pinned messages which have some relevant information. It's a very busy channel!

Thank you for all the support and a big welcome to all the new supports of the channel!

The one with the Atari-style case is definitely the weirdest. I'm wondering why they did that. Maybe they wanted to make an Atari-style computer, but that was impossible to clone with all the custom chips. So they cloned an Apple II instead, made a few modifications, added an Atari-style joystick port and put it into a case that looks like an Atari XL?

Oh my get well soon I need my basement fix or is that just selfish
