Some other hardware features were very good for the time. It gets a lot of heat for the initial reliability issues, but they were eventually solved. They also limited the Apple ][ emulation to 2+ features, so no 80 columns, and that was probably a mistake. On the other hand the good features were:
- Profile hard disk (but would have been better if you could boot from it).
- Movable zero page, so the OS and the application each had their own zero page.
- As mentioned, 80 column text and high resolution graphics.
- Up to 512k addressable RAM, either through indirection or bank switching.
It was probably the most ambitious 6502 based computer, until the 65816 based IIgs came along. And SOS was better than ProDOS.
