It had 4 expansion slots. ===[[wikipedia:Apple_III#Revisions|apple III Revised]]===The apple III was released in the second half of '81 and retailed for {{Inflation|USD|3495|1981}}. The reason for this is that the public had found a flaw in the logic board design so Apple had to pull the III off shelves and re-release it. This computer doesnre-release had 256KB of RAM as standard. The FCC made Apple discontinue the apple III Revised because Apple didn't have too many emulatorschange the name. ===[[wikipedia:Apple_III#Apple_III_Plus|apple III Plus]]===The only one that works fully properly is MAMEapple III Plus was released in December of 1983 and it retailed for {{Inflation|USD|2995|1983}}, after Apple had to discontinue the apple III Revised because they did not change the computer's name after they modified it, they re-re-released it with a built-in clock, 55-watt power supply, and a //e-like keyboard.

This computer doesn't have too many emulators because of how bad it flopped. The first one that fully works is [[MAME]].
