Worse. It was a clone Apple II Plus called a "Unitron" with an "NPH" and a
"Shamrock" Disk II clone floppy drive. The monitor wasn't even an official
Apple one, it was a Zenith Data Systems composite input monitor.
However, I did learn a few things from it: I was a pioneer in my own time. At
age six I had discovered the concept of hotswapping cards and drives...except of
course the Apple II didn't support this...and summarily I destroyed the $1400
motherboard.
