One of the first Apple Clones, the Franklin was in many ways superior to the Apple II+, but slightly inferior to the Apple IIe. Made by a company that historically made typewriters, It boasted 128 K of Ram, an 80 Column Card, upper and lower case character set, an improved speaker, a fan, and (with a moderate surcharge) 2 5 1/4 inch floppy drives. It ran all Apple code natively, as it to was based on the 6502. Sadly, it was only a two year run of glory before the market for 6502' era machines dried up, to be largely overtaken by the 8088 based machines, then 68000.
