printtok: cc65 text questions

Submitted by Harry Potter on November 12, 2022 - 7:17pm

Hi!  I have a cc65 routine for CBM and Atari8 targets that prints strings with embedded tokens and expands those tokens.  It is inferior.  :(  It compressed the text for a text adventure by only about 13%.  I am working on a better version right now.  Does anybody here want an edition of what I currently have for the Apple2?  If so, do cc65's strings have the signed bit set?  If not, I can use literals 0x80-0x9F as tokens.

Needing some suggestions on Disk booting issues

Submitted by jeff d on November 11, 2022 - 7:42pm

Currently looking at a //e mobo that doesn't want to boot from a disk. I've tried both Disk II and DuoDisk controllers and drives (both work on "good" //e) so I think there's a mobo problem and just started digging into that. But I've got no knowledge of how the mobo factors into the boot process (other than expecting it easily could)

Special Delivery Software on Asimov?

Submitted by old_hitech on November 11, 2022 - 10:58am

Is there a collection of Apple Special Delivery Software on the Asimov or anywhere else? I've been looking around and I can find one or two of the Special Delivery Software programs, but it would be nice to find a folder/directory with all the programs in one location.

Apple IIc - Writing to floppy disk impossible

Submitted by meridian on November 10, 2022 - 7:52am

Hi,

 

I have a problem with my Apple IIc, it works very well except that it is always in write protected. Impossible to save even a file under DOS 3.3 or Prodos

I also tested with a SDCard floppy emulator, same problem. 

 

No problem with the floppy SDCard emulator on my Apple IIe, I can save a file.

I checked the track between the IWM and the connector, everything is ok.

Apple //c only power LED, no video or drive activity

Submitted by jasonnovak on November 8, 2022 - 3:23pm

I've come across this forum when I found a similar question but wasn't able to solve my problem

https://www.applefritter.com/content/dead-apple-c

 

I have a //c I haven't used in a few years, but last I did it was fine. I plugged it in a few weeks ago and for the first few minutes it was fine, booting a few disks, but  then the picture started to go wavy and I had to power cycle and it was fine. After a few more it stopped putting out video and trying to boot off of the disk drive, with only the green power LED light up.

AppleTalk error on startup

Submitted by lee317 on November 8, 2022 - 2:15am

I pulled my old IIGS out of storage and booted into the installation of System 6.0.1 that was running when I put her in storage 27 years ago. I think one of the last things I did was try to get the IIGS onto an AppleTalk network with a 68K Mac but I can't recall exactly how or why. But one thing that seems to linger is this startup message: 

"The selected AppleTalk connection could not be found. Be sure it is installed and the slot settings in the Control Panel are correct."

Floppy Drive Emulator vs. CF Card Reader

Submitted by Wiggle Wiggle on November 6, 2022 - 5:08pm

Hey, so I was just wondering if there were any advantages to using a floppy drive emulator like the FloppyEmu over a CF card reader like ReActiveMicro's Drive/Turbo IDE Controller.

 

I am currently making a video guide on getting into the Apple II, so any pointers to differences that would be important to new comers would be greatly appreciated!

Apple //c monitor suggestion

Submitted by Gumdoc on November 4, 2022 - 2:04am

Hi all,

 

Getting my first //c to add to my collection of //e and IIGS systems. What are the options for a monitor? It looks like there's both a DB15 and Composite output on the back, does that 15 pin work or is it just the composite? I have an AppleColor monitor I use with my IIGS, would be great to use that with the //c. If not, what other options exist, preferably not something that's 35 years old :-)

 

Thanks for any help.
