Apple IIe on off

Submitted by clockchip on May 28, 2018 - 5:03am

Hello

how long must I wait when I power off the Appe IIe before i can turn it on again.

Because when i turn it off and on (waiting 1-2 Sec) it shows me some charater mismatch on the screen.

Is this normal to Apple II Systems ?

best regards

Hello,

I am new here in the forum and have a question about my recently purchased APPLE IIe.

Switches are soldered to the back of the motherboard via a long cable.

Can anyone explain the purpose of these switches?

Thank you for your help

Compiled Apple Startrek (Appletrek)

Submitted by wsander on May 23, 2018 - 2:40pm

In about 1984 I got a copy of the Flash Integer Basic compiler and made a compiled version of the Apple II Startrek (later Appletrek) game. The complied version is much faster than the Integer Basic version and significantly improves the playing experience. Anyone who played the game in the old days should try this version.

Restoring Apple II systems for a friends widow

Submitted by Bagpuss on May 21, 2018 - 5:45am

Hi All,

I'm really hoping that someone on here can help me.

One of my best friends passed away just over a year ago from a brain tumour. We'd worked together at Sun for many years, and I regularly stayed with him and his family when I was working out of the Camberley UK offices.

When I was helping his widow go through his tech stuff, I found the computers which started it all for him... his Apple II's.
I've not yet looked at them too closely, but I know that the X2 caps in the PSU will need to be changed before we can try to power them on.

Restoring an old Apple IIe unenhanced

Submitted by Tyrins on May 20, 2018 - 3:49pm

Hi to everybody,

I'm writing to You 'cause I hope someone can help me:
I found an old apple IIe in the garbage (!!!) so I picked it up and I want to try restore it. There are some problems with ram chips and IOU but I'm working on it.

During the desoldering operations I realized that a component is broken. Unfortunately I am not so expert to recognize it. Can someone help me by giving me the specifications so that I can find a substitute and change it?

UniDisk Ejection Motor

Submitted by Leonard R. Miller on May 19, 2018 - 2:21pm

Hello all... I just received an Apple IIC with an external UniDisk 3.5" drive. The mechanics of the drive work great after I cleaned up all the old lithium grease, and re-lubed it. I also replaced the plastic gear in the ejection unit with a new one I got from Ebay. The problem I'm having with the drive is with the ejection motor. It continuously spins and won't shut off. Any ideas? There may be other problems with the drive, but this is as far as I've gotten so far. Ideas? I don't know much about Apple products, but I'm learning.
