Talk:Apple II

message: The first sentence states that the Apple II family was a line of 8-bit computers, but as far as I'm aware, the Apple IIgs was 16-bit; its Wiki article agrees, but also confusingly says it was "16/32-bit."  I assume this article currently says 8-bit for a reason, so I'm not comfortable leaping in to change it; if someone that knows better wishes to, though, please do. :) —Xyzzy☥the☥Avatar 08:20, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, technically, the Apple II would have been an "8/16-bit" computer (like most other home computers of its generation)... an 8-bit CPU with a 16-bit address bus. 24.119.145.33 (talk) 04:14, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That opening sentence is clearly false, unless "Apple II family" only refers to the Apple II, II+, IIe, IIc and IIc+. Despite its radical differences, the Apple IIGS is part of the Apple II family and a true 16-bit computer. The IIGS CPU, the  65C816, has internal registers that are 16-bit wide and it has a 24-bit address bus (versus the 6502/65C02's 8-bit internal registers, and 16-bit address bus). That sentence needs to be changed.--Apple2gs (talk) 02:08, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Apple II was 8-bit, but the whole family wasn't (right?) 

message: Ok, is it just me or is there nudity in the image that says Zig Zag on the monitor? Its very pixelated and partly cut off, but the right side of the image appears to me to show a hand, and a womens upper torso and breasts. Not complaining, I just wondered if this was correct or is my mind just dirty!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.98.131.10 (talk) 07:24, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nudity in image?? 

message: I grew up with the Apple II and when reading this article there are currently 17 unreferenced citations needed on this page. Is this just POV or can someone cite these claims? 172.56.6.65 (talk) 14:42, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Lots of unsourced opinions and tangents and details have snuck into this. The article is meant to give an overview of the series, with links to other articles, and not get be wandering around though odd minutia. I've been cleaning out some of the things that don't belong here, parenthetical asides, etc. If you think I removed something that's key, please put it back. Dgpop (talk) 02:39, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Remember, this is a series overview

message: The section on clones takes up nearly half of the article. For an article on the Apple II series proper, this section really ought to be spun-off into its own page, say Apple II clones. A lot has been written in newspapers and journals about said clones, especially regarding Apple's litigious attitude toward many of them (see the Franklin Ace 100), so it definitely stands up as a notable topic of its own. DigitalIceAge (talk) 10:23, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I would tend to agree with that. I assumes it should cover clones of all Apple ][ models, extension cards and peripherals. Dhrm77 (talk) 11:25, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Completely agree. Current subsection is unreadable and making it its own article would encourage more structure. A. C. Santacruz  ⁂  Talk 09:38, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I second that opinion. This section is far too lengthy in contrast to the main Apple II article, and deserves a spin-off as an independent article. There already is a list of Apple II clones that can be linked in the new article, and I suggest adding a sub-section about licensed Apple II "compatibles" (i.e. legal clones), such as the Franklin and Laser. Might be a worthy place to write about OEM Apple II's like the Bell & Howell Apple II Plus, or add-on compatibility boards like the TrackStar and PDS Apple IIe Card.--Apple2gs (talk) 00:46, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
