Almost no information about this computer, except it was one of the numerous Apple II clones the world market was becoming flooded with from 1983.

The motherboard design was quite the same as the Apple II+'s. However, only one case housed this board as well as one or two floppy drives, and the keyboard was detached from the main unit.
This Orange 2 followed a first model with built-in keyboard, called Orange+
