Probably two flavors of the Apple 2. I assume the logo for the 2e was in italics.

- fourthark 6y agoClose, but the logos were really styled that way, with ASCII brackets and slashes, on the cases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIe
- fireattack 6y agoBut it's only for logo right? I don't think they should be used in text form, doubt even Apple themselves would do that.
- sseneca 6y agoPeople can be weird about this sort of thing, especially with Apple. I remember when the iPhone XR came out some people would insist on always writing "iPhone Xʀ", for example.
- wryun 6y agoI believe these forms were used on startup (i.e. they were in the roms in text form this way).
- leejoramo 6y agoAs I recall, all print publications of the era used ][ and // I remember typing it this way myself on the early BBS scene. Personally my system was a Radio Shack TSR-80 Model III. (That is III not 3)
- pge 6y agoI have an Apple II plus original reference manual here, and it uses “Apple ][“ (brackets) only on the cover. In the book text, it uses “Apple II” (Roman numeral) throughout.
- icedchai 6y agoNo, they used it elsewhere. When the machines booted, they displayed "Apple ][, "Apple //c", etc. at the top.
