13. Input/Output:

UniDisks 3.5" drives, Apple 5.25"
drives, and CT-series 20MB to 100MB

14. Trivia:
This unit was so good that Apple Computers was prompted
to upgrade the IIc to counter it. The result was the
Apple IIc Plus, also released in 1988. The IIc Plus had
a 4Mhz Western Design Center 65C02 processor, an 800K
3.5" drive built-in, and an External Drive "SmartPort"
capable of the same tricks as the Laser's. Although the
two units were similarly matched, Video Technology
actively advertised the Laser 128EX/2 while Apple had
moved on to advocating Macintosh. The Laser became the
most successful Apple II clone ever and this model was
99.8% IIc Plus compatible. The only two software the
Apple magazines reported incompatible were The New Print
Shop (Borderbund) and HomeWord (Sierra).
In North America, the Laser was aggressively marketed
in Sears department stores, where it erroded its niche
rival's sales, the Commodore 128.
This Laser unit's case was also used to make a Turbo XT
PC clone. The PC clone and the Laser 128EX/2 shared the
same case. They looked identical except for the label.
Instead of "Laser 128EX/2," the XT had "Laser XT10"
