ROM file for Apple //c french keyboard

Submitted by Djoulz on August 1, 2018 - 5:32am

Hello Everybody,

I bought lately an Italian Apple //c and I'd like to switch it into French.
I've found the French video rom : 342-274A, but impossible to find the keyboard map rom !
I can't even find its name !

If some of you have a French //c, I will be very pleased if you could dump this famous rom, or at least
give me its number ...

Thank you in advance...

Garbled screen on Apple II europlus

Submitted by pcbastler on July 28, 2018 - 4:45am

Hi, I am relativly new to Apple II. Up to now I mainly used and repaired Commodore computers.

Now I started with restoring my first Apple II europlus and ran into my first problems, right after cleaning the maschine and boards. First problem was easy to solve, it was just a blown up C1 in the PSU. But my swcond problem, I do not know, where to start the diagnostics.
The maschine just shows ? and inverted @ when I switch it on. Nothing further is happening. I built up a minimal configuration (Just the language card is inserted), without any success.

Apple II Cases

Submitted by b0undarybreaker on July 27, 2018 - 11:53pm

I've been looking around for an Apple II case for a [cyberdeck](https://blog.hackster.io/a-commodore-64-makes-a-nice-cyberdeck-with-help-from-a-raspberry-pi-b1bb8a6acec) I want to build, but I haven't had much luck finding either original or reproduction cases for prices I'm really able to afford. The best I've found is an $80 II+ case on ebay with free shipping. with pretty much everything else being well over a hundred dollars.

Apple //e power supply no output

Submitted by Cygnus on July 27, 2018 - 11:29pm

Hello all, I am new to this forum so please tell me if I am breaking any rules.

The Aztec power supply on my Apple //e doesn't output anything, and I have run out of ideas as to what could be causing it. I have replaced all electrolytic capacitors, as well as the RIFA paper cap, and there was still no change. I checked all of the traces and inspected the solder joints and nothing would indicate that there are any cold joints or broken traces. Any ideas about what it could be are appreciated. I can also post some pictures later if that would help.

Cool Patent Artwork (Apple II and others)

Submitted by jwg1962 on July 25, 2018 - 6:44am

Hello All,

I ran in to an artist at the Pittsburgh Three Rivers Arts festival this year that had some unique artwork. I purchased a few of the Apple patents from him to frame and hang on the wall. I thought this was pretty unique artwork and super creative. What he does is researches patents for iconic inventions, takes a professional photograph of the item, extract the main elements of the patent (drawings and text) and then brings it all together into a collage on really high quality paper that is suitable for framing.
