What this guide does not contain
[edit | edit source]It is an owner's manual. There are no schematics, take-apart procedures, part numbers or component values, and the troubleshooting appendix covers setup and software problems, not hardware faults. Apple's service procedures for the machine are in the Apple IIc Plus Technical Procedures (File:Apple IIc Plus Technical Procedures.pdf). Appendix D refers readers to the Apple IIc Plus Technical Reference manual for technical information; the wiki does not host that manual.
