Apple II Plus computer with Sanyo VM 4509 B/W monitor (1979)

Being a child of the 1970s, my first experience with computers was in elementary school using the Apple II plus learning typing skills and programming using the LOGO programming language.

In this video I show you my personal Apple II plus computer, disk drives and Sanyo VM 4509 black and white monitor along with showcasing the inside of the machine, motherboard and various configuration slots.

The Apple II Plus is the second model of the Apple II series of personal computers produced by Apple Computer and was sold from June 1979 to December 1982. Approximately 380,000 II Pluses were sold during its four years in production before being replaced by the IIe in 1983.

For RAM specifications, the Apple II Plus shipped with 16 KB, 32 KB or 48 KB of main RAM, expandable to 64 KB by means of the Language Card, an expansion card that could be installed in the computer's slot 0.

The Language Card was also required to use LOGO, Apple Pascal and FORTRAN 77.
