So it's no wonder that the ADB microcontroller in Macs and the IIgs is based on a Mitsubishi microcontroller that implements a superset of the 6502 ISA ;) (more details than you ever wanted to know about ADB (https://llx.com/Neil/a2/adb.html)).

There was one of those Black Apple IIs that popped up on Facebook Marketplace a few miles from me last year, but the guy was demanding around $500 for it, which wasn't worth it to me.
