Repair or replacement parts for Apple II+ keyboard

Submitted by falter on February 21, 2014 - 11:33pm

I have one of the all in one keyboards for my Apple II+. I repaired a broken key stalk but have inadvertently wandered into a problem. A couple of the metal tabs broke off and Inam wondering if there is some way to repair them or if there is a way to get replacement parts. My 1 and 2 key do not work, and the key I repaired (right arrow) doesnt work either.

I did google amd search around on this but hadnt found anyone who was dealing with broken metal. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Apple II+ not posting

Submitted by falter on February 19, 2014 - 8:19pm

I decided to go after the keyboard issue in my II+ again. However now when I power it on, I get a screen full of this:

??@@??@@??@@??@@ etc.. with the @@s in reverse video. If I cycle the power, sometimes I get flashing > or other symbols at random spots. I thought maybe CPU, so changed that to known good, but no dice there. I know the ROMs are good and am confident the RAMs are ok... where do I begin on this one? Smile

Really stupid Apple IIgs keyboard compatibility question

Submitted by Eudimorphodon on February 19, 2014 - 12:20pm

A while back (better part of a year ago?) I posted about having a IIgs with what appears to be a blown keyboard controller. (And is still blown.) This weekend I was given another IIgs (also a "Woz Edition", I assume it's ROM01, and again just the system unit) which I have yet to power up. Here's the situation:

Apple IIe Enhanced logic board work with a PAL Apple IIE power supply?

Submitted by robbo007 on February 19, 2014 - 7:18am

Hi all,
Can anyone confirm that a US Apple IIE enhanced Logic board will work with a PAL European Power supply?

I know the Apple IIGS works without any problems but not sure about the Apple IIe.

Thanks,
Rob

CDA's and NDA's

Submitted by Nighthawk70 on February 16, 2014 - 4:23pm

I'm setting up my GS for the first time in 25+ years, I have forgotten nearly everything. Humbly I feel pretty dumb now, vs when I was much younger and knew a lot about my //e and IIGS. I found a bunch of old floppies that I have kept from my Apple II days and one of them has two folders on it called NDAS and one CDAS. Through process of searching my GSOS System folder I found that NDA's are New Desktop Applications (??) and they are what show up under the 'Apple' symbol on the far left of the menu bar. I copied a few in at a time not to rush anything, nor to get anything stuck.

Get rid of errors on your floppy disks. FIX THEM!

Submitted by insanitor on February 16, 2014 - 2:49am

Here's a little trick that I have been using since the old days...

Ever encounter a floppy disk that keeps giving you an error in the same sector no matter how many times you format it?

WE ALL HAVE!

The possible solution?

A COMPLETE ERASE.

Also known as Degaussing, it will permanently erase a disk and bring it to a state of no format.

How to get my Apple II as close to original spec as possible

Submitted by falter on February 13, 2014 - 3:24pm

This query about integer ROMs has led me to a couple questions. My goal for this Apple II I have is to get it as close to original spec as possible. Here is what I know about the case and keyboard which were the genesis of this:

Case serial is A2S1-38495
Keyboard is date stamped Dec 17, 1979

Would I be more correct with the black slot Rev 04 board I have now (date code: 8024) or with something earlier? I understand the green slot Rev 04s ended sometime between mid 79 and early 1980.

What date code of Integer ROMs would most likely have been in there?
