Apple //c monitor stand plastic mount part

I've been checking ebay regularly since April of this year looking for the monitor mount for the Apple //c monitor stand. My wife had gotten me a broken //c (because repairing/restoring this old stuff is the best part) with the monitor and stand for my birthday but the previous owner didn't have the mount part of the stand. If anyone has a spare mount without the metal stand that they'd like to sell or knows where I can find one online I'd be interested. If I can't find one, I'm tempted to use my 3D printer to build one that's close enough by looking at pictures.

Apple II Rom card (un-populated)

Hi all and Merry Christmas:

In my lot of stuff from earlier in the year, I discovered I have  an un-populated genuine Apple ROM card.  Bare-card; no components.

I am looking for some education on the value/use of these cards before I start adding components.  I did the requisite Google searches and found pictures of the original box and images of the card but not documentation.   I'm not looking to sell the card, just learn about its use.

Does anyone have any documentation scanned?

Cheers,

mark

How to Exit Music Constuction Set

I have been enjoying the Music Construction Set program on my Apple IIgs computer and cannot figure out how to exit the program to get back to GS/OS. I've read though the manual and it does not state how to exit the program. I always have to turn off the computer and turn back on to get back to GS/OS. I'd apprcciate any help. Thanks.

Apple (Video7) Extended 80col RGB Card - no color in DHGR

A while ago I purchased an Apple (Video7) Extended 80col RGB (aka AppleColor) card on eBay for using the card with an enhanced Apple //e PAL. For quite a while, I did not have a good way of displaying the output of the card, as today's monitors are incompatible with the horizontal frequency of the video signal.

Glanmire Electronics Micro Watch

Hello. I am hoping to find out about a device. I recently purchased an Apple II. It had some device plugged into the game port on the motherboard. I am assuming it is some sort of clock device. It says:

 

"GLANMIRE ELECTRONICS LTD 1982" and "MICRO WATCH".

 

It is about 2 inches by 2 inches. It has a Berec Memtec battery, 3.6v 100mAh

 

Any ideas on what it is? The battery leaked and ruined it, plus one of the pins rotted off and broke inside the 16-pin socket. :-(

 

Thank you.

Apple II Plus chips for testing

So I have a variety of II Plus machines (or clones) in working order and another half dozen or so in need of some repair.  These last half dozen have been robbed and swapped and are less reliable bases from which to build. I always clean the pins and  reseat and often swap 74LSxxx and other chips to test.  But, I think I'd like to just purchase a complete set of new (presumably) known good chips to work from and then work back to get correct date codes when possible from my parts stock once it is in working condition.

Apple II and III prototyping boards manual

Hi All:

Been quite some time since I was here on the board.  Hope everyone is doing well and having a good holiday season.

I have been searching for a pdf of the manual that came with Apple II & III prototyping boards.  Mine are genuine Apple.  I got mine in a large lot of Apple stuff I bought about 8 months ago.  The manual that was with the cards was so water damaged that most of the pages were stuck together.  Restoration efforts for the manual failed.

Apple II europlus ram issue

I am trying to fix an Apple II europlus.

It can't boot and it looks to be related to a ram problem. Or maybe that's just a red herring.

If there is a ram chip in C3 or D5 or E3 it displays a weird screen. See picture 1 and 2.

If there is NO ram chip in C3 and D5 and E3 it displays a more normal screen. See picture 3. But of course then it can't boot without the C3 ram.

I have tried using ram chips which I have tested ok in another machine.

I have tested all the 74LS chips on the board, they seem to be ok.
