Unusual Apple II Europlus - clone?

Not sure if anyone has caught this, as it is on eBay Australia: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Apple-II-Europlus-vintage-computer/222010096662

The price is a little high for me so I initially ignored it, but on second glance it looks really unusual. Note the keyboard including numeric pad, and the odd inset area on the case. In fact the case looks like a genuine Apple example at first glance but clearly is not.

Logic board definitely looks like a clone, with clone power supply (AT?)

Floppy disks made in 'Tiawan'

I had to laugh at myself. I bought ten Electronic Arts floppy disks off eBay for a good price, still sealed. 'High Quality Magnetic Media', 'Japanese Media' etc, should be pretty good!

Then I saw the typo on the spine. Not sure where 'Tiawan' is but I'm pretty sure these are knock-offs in a fancy cardboard case.

My Apple IIe BBS

I have got my Apple IIe BBS on-line, running GBBS Pro (modified) and connecting via Raspberry Pi at a whopping 2400 baud (the fasted GBBS Pro supports as far as I can tell).

I added a GUEST account (no password) if anybody wants to check it out without going through the user registration process.

It is dura-bbs.net port 6359. I chickened out of using the default port 23. Smile

Apple IIe w. Uthernet II card - ADTPro system hang

Dear folks,

I'm using a Uthernet II card installed at slot 7 of my Apple IIe which works fine with Contiki.
When using ADTPro and selecting the (E)thernet connection the system seems to start loading the necessary bin file

"STARTING ADTPROETH.BIN ..."

and after some seconds Drive 2 starts spinning and stopping but then the system hangs.

Apple IIe Help

I'm brand new to old Apple computers and I was wondering about an Apple II I have just brought. When I startup without a disk it just says Apple II no cursor or anything according to the original manual. Do I need a DOS 3.3 disk to install or? Also I've got a text card in the AUX slot but when I launch specific programs it says it requires 128KB ram but also according to the manual I've apparently got 128KB does this mean that the ram chips have failed? Thanks

Apple //c issues with connecting to ADTPro

The quick version: It looks like ADTPro is sending correctly but the //c doesn't show any communication.

Apple IIe and telnet port 23

This concerns connecting to an Apple IIe using telnet and the default port 23. I have read that port 23 is not a good idea due to security issues.

But I suspect this is for connecting to modern computers, not an old Apple IIe which is not smart enough to respond to such tactics, is that true?

Interesting Apple IIe Similiar to Super II

I’ve got a really humdinger of an Apple IIe for you guys to examine…

My wife has been hounding me to sell off some of my collection to make room, so I’ve been digging around… and am thinking about selling what I believe to be a prototype Apple IIe. I think it’s a prototype anyways; at the very least I’ve not seen any other Apple IIe like it in the last 20+ years I’ve been collecting these machines.

The case has no serial #, and the motherboard looks a lot like the “Super II” prototype, but slightly different.
