FCC statement for Apple Ethernet CS II Thin Coax Card

The equipment described in this manual generates and uses radio- frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with Apple’s instructions—it may cause interference with radio and television reception.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to the specifications in Part 15 of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation.

You can determine whether your computer is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices.

If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

mTurn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

mMove the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.

mMove the computer farther away from the television or radio.

mPlug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

mInstall a rooftop television antenna with a coaxial cable lead-in between the antenna and the television.

If necessary, consult an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for assistance. See the service and support information that came with your Apple product. Or contact an experienced radio-television technician for additional suggestions. You may find helpful the following booklet, prepared by the FCC: Interference Handbook (stock number 004-000-00493-1). This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.

IMPORTANT Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple Computer, Inc., could void the FCC certification and negate your authority to operate the product. This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the use of shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is important that you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices. For Apple peripheral devices, you can obtain the proper shielded cables through an Apple-authorized dealer. For non-Apple peripheral devices, contact the manufacturer or dealer for assistance.

CS II specifications

The Apple II, introduced in 1977, is often celebrated as one of the pioneering personal computers that helped lay the groundwork for the home computer revolution. Its design and functionality made it immensely popular among hobbyists, educators, and businesses alike.

One of the standout features of the Apple II was its open architecture. This allowed users to easily expand the system's capabilities by adding various peripherals and expansion cards. The versatility of the Apple II was evident in its ability to support a range of hardware, including printers, modems, and additional memory, making it a modular system that could grow with the owner's needs.

The Apple II was powered by a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, which operated at 1 MHz, providing sufficient performance for the tasks of its era. It came with 4 KB of RAM, which could be expanded to 48 KB or more, depending on the model and user needs. The machine featured a keyboard, a built-in speaker, and a color graphics capability that allowed it to display graphics in a variety of resolutions. The introduction of color graphics was a significant advancement at the time, enabling a more engaging user experience and leading to the creation of numerous educational and entertainment software titles.

The Apple II's floppy disk drive, known as the Disk II, was another revolutionary feature that significantly improved storage capabilities compared to earlier systems that relied solely on cassette tapes. The Disk II made data retrieval and storage much faster and more reliable, which in turn facilitated the growing software library available for the platform.

In addition to its hardware features, the Apple II was accompanied by a suite of software that included Apple BASIC, a programming language that made it accessible for users to create their own applications. The impact of the Apple II extended beyond hardware and software; it became the first personal computer to gain substantial traction in educational settings, with many schools adopting it as a teaching tool in computer literacy programs.

Moreover, the Apple II played a pivotal role in the emergence of third-party software development, leading to an expansive ecosystem of games, productivity applications, and educational programs—a trend that set the stage for the software development industry as we know it today.

In summary, the Apple II's open architecture, powerful processor, innovative storage solutions, and robust software ecosystem combined to establish it as a foundational pillar in the personal computer market. Its influence can still be seen in modern computing, making it a landmark achievement in the history of technology.
