MacEffects Apple IIc Reloaded Clear Case Overview

- Teaser video of the new clear case for Apple IIc from MacEffects. Stay tuned for the installation video and my subsequent videos about IIc upgrades!
📲 This video was shot entirely on the iPhone 15 Pro Max sitting on a tripod. There was a single bedroom LED ceiling light on me, with only the right side of an LED desk light on my cactus. No reflectors were used. It was shot using the iPhone's 48mm 2x lens in the BlackMagic Camera app with the Apple Log setting enabled. I connected my BOYA by-M1 Pro II LAV mic to my iPhone using a USB-C to 1/8" jack adapter. The 4K footage was later color-graded in FCPX with the help of an SLOG-to-ARRI conversion LUT:

Your excitement about this product is CLEAR! D’oh! Sorry! That just came out-HAD to say it!!! Looks great too! Wow-iPhone!!
In the industry, that’s called a ONER. You did it all in one shot!! If came out GREAT!! Thanks for another great video-can’t wait for the meaty one!
James, you are an ASSET to this Community!!
Take care my friend!
Thank you for your extremely kind words, Mark!
Always enjoy watching your videos! Not always on a machine that I’m familiar with but curious to see what kind of work is being done on these older machines
Thank you for your kind comment. As mentioned in the video, some kind folks in the Apple II community got together at VCF and decided to spark my interest in the Apple II platform by gifting me a IIc. It worked! I made my first Apple II video ever that Christmas (2023), and I've been distracted with other videos and matters since then. Mark J. recently mentioned the IIc clear case (and black case) is out, and that prompted me to make a commitment to focusing on the IIc for my next few videos. I bought several different upgrades and add-ons for the IIc over the last several months, but I've just not had time to show them. I decided I would change that and this video is the first in that series. Specifically, this video is an overview of the new plastic case, but the installation video will come next, followed by the Mockingboard audio card install, and then other upgrade installs. The Apple II series computers are very different from the Mac but quite fun to learn and use too!
Nicely done video. I really enjoy the clear explanations. So awesome how many new accessories come out for the apple ii, almost on a monthly basis! Apple II Forever. (Great shirt btw)
Thanks. I also wore the same yellow shirt in my first video on the IIc here, where I show the color LCD that Javier Rivera and Jonathan Adar put together (their first prototype): ua-cam.com/video/driCUnsXZcY/v-deo.html
Always a joy to watch your videos and I can't wait for the future releases.
Thank you!
That is an absolute must have. Too cool.
It really is. Mark Jozaitis (MacEffects) and Javier Rivera (ARC Javmaster) did a great job on it. My next video will show the detail installation, so stay tuned for that.
So cool!! MacEffects does great work!! There is a clear case for the Atari 800XL on Kickstarter now too!
They certainly do. I am actually filming the second video segment right now - IIc Clear Case Installation! 🙂
Ok please do seperate videos of all the extras and goodies you have on the iic!
I have a rom3 which is soldered onto the logic board, so I can’t install romX ( not confident). Also have the bmow floppy emu. Definitely want the usb c power adapter from Javier
❤apple iic❤
Yes, individual videos are my intention. I will do the IIc Clear Case install first, followed by videos on other upgrades like the ROM Xc, Mockingboard, etc. The ROM Xc is nice because it gives you the ability to choose any of the stock ROMs that were officially released for the Apple IIc. Machines that have original 16KB ROM (Apple part number 342-0272-A) require cutting open of the W1 pads and soldering together of the W2 pads. You must then remove the MONITOR ROM nearest the speaker at the D-19 position so you can insert the ROM Xc board there. The original ROM Xc kit also required the removal of the video ROM, but they later made that optional because many people, myself included have a soldered VIDEO ROM. So I just bought the basic ROM Xc kit from ReactiveMicro here: www.reactivemicro.com/product/romxc-for-apple-iic/
The INSTALL GUIDE for ROM Xc is here: jdmicro.com/documentation/romxce/ROMXc%20Installation%20Guide.pdf
The USER GUIDE for the ROM Xc is here: jdmicro.com/documentation/romxce/ROMXce+%20User%20Guide%20v1.2.pdf
So you are saying your "MON" ROM IC is soldered? Interesting. I thought they were all socketed. Well, if indeed your "MON" ROM is soldered, you would need a HAKKO FR-301 desoldering gun to do the safest and best removal. Otherwise it's possible you could damage something when trying to use just a copper desoldering braid. I have an FR-301. It's expensive but if you use it at least once a month on a project, it's worth the money. One cheap alternative is to pay someone local to you who will remove it. (Obviously, someone with the right tools and experience.)
@ thx for the info but I decided to not install it, or find someone who is confident, it seems like a rarer version (as you say they’re usually socketed) so I’ll hopefully find another one which hasn’t risen in price according to world events lol. 👋👍
@@-someone-. Just to confirm, you are indeed saying your ROM marked "MON" is the one soldered, correct? No doubt about the correct chip?
@ yeah def soldered.
@@-someone-. That's unfortunate, but thank you for the info. I asked Jonathan Adar about this and he confirmed it isn't rare to see a soldered MON ROM, so I will need to be sure to mention that when I show the ROM Xc install.
Translucent might be the work for it?
I think the "word" 🙂 varies by person, be it: semi-transparent, frosted, foggy, translucent, not 100% transparent, misty, or even "cleverly designed."
It’s obvious this was a sponsored marketing video. You did not say that at the beginning and you really need to stop doing stuff like that. I literally learned nothing from this video.
Thank you for your comment. I am very sorry to hear you didn't glean something useful from this video like a few other people in the comments have. Community response in the Apple II Enthusiasts group on FaceBook has been overwhelmingly positive as well. Do you currently have an Apple II machine or did you use one as a student back in the day?
As I said in the video, this IIc was my first entry into the world of the Apple II, having come from a background using Macs exclusively. I'm still very much in learning mode and am truly thankful to Mark Jozaitis, Javier Rivera, Jonathan Adar, and Adam McGaughey for being so kind in sparking my interest in the Apple II. I've found that some things like audio on the Apple II was quite an eye-opener. It's clearly inferior to the audio on the 1984 Mac, which is why I purchased a "Mockingboard 4c" a number of months ago. I've not installed that yet only because I've been waiting to find the time to make a video about the install.
As mentioned in the video, I plan to film not only the Mockingboard 4c install, but also show some other upgrades I have purchased like the BMOW Drive Switcher, ROM Xc and others. Should be fun. And really, "fun" what this small community is about. Few people use Apple II machines at their day job or even for daily tasks. There's a lot of nostalgia involved. But it's also both surprising and very interesting to me to see some fellow hobbyists in the community stand up and make some new related things now in 2024 which enhance the overall experience.
