Apple II

Apple II+ woes continue...

Hey everyone...

I have been ignoring my II+ for a while (I have two of them), but got one down to fire up and ensure everything was OK. Obviously, since I am posting here, it isn't OK!

I can boot into DOS 3.3 via FloppyEmu or actual disk drive.  No problem.

When I try to boot anything that has graphics in it (let's say, Ultima IV, or ), I get random text on the screen, and the disk drive continues to spin, nothing happens.

How do I use this ALS Smarterm II?

I was looking through some old cards and came across this Advanced Logic Systems Smarterm II with RCA jacks. I tried to Google for it, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for. Does anybody know what this is used for? What are the RCA jacks for? I would guess it's for video, but there are no markings saying how they should be used. What slot does it go in?

AMR SCSI

I was playing with an AMR SCSI card and was wondering if there was a later version of the EPROM, I have V1.2.

I was hoping that there might be a version that allows more than two partitions

See Apple ][ on Apple IIe boot screen.

This Apple IIe machine has some problems,  to be sure. A lot of random characters and such. But I shouldn't see "Apple ][" on the boot screen, correct.? Possibly someone swapped in an Apple II plus ROM, perhaps? Self diagnostics sometimes inditcates a ROM or many bad ROMs. Sometimes indicates RAM. Often goes into monitor or freezes. When I get "]" prompt, I can do HOME command and it executes normally but does not clear the screen completely. I can run a simple program, 10 PRINT "HELLO" and it does run but usually prints out many wrong characters.

Cannot get Yellowstone Card to work

Hi all, hope you're having a good day!

I purchased a Yellowstone card for my Apple IIe over a year ago after hearing about how much everyone loved it and all the different software options it could open up to me. However, when I put it in my system it will not work. I tested it extensively and messaged Steve from Big Mess O' Wires back and forth many times and we just unfortunately hit a brick wall and I decided to give up at the time. I decided to pick this back up again because I really want to get this card working with my system.

IIC Apple Scribe Printer - Select light flashing 3 times

Hello, I have a fairly clean IIC Apple Scribe Printer, select light flashing 3 times.  I've checked that paper and ribbon are loaded and the cover is in place.  According to the manual 3 flashes per second indicates "out of ribbon."
