Can a //e read Apple /// disks?

Submitted by dave928 on November 19, 2024 - 11:49pm

I have a Microsoft Softcard III CP/M card with the manuals and disks in original box that i want to sell.

 

Obviously i know the card can't be used, but can my Enhanced //e with Disk ]['s or DuoDisc (i have both) read Apple /// disks to verify there's still something on them?

 

I recall reading this somewhere online recently, but wanted to confirm before i try it and possibly destroy the disks.

Is there a 'backspace' key with Ver 1 Brain Board?

Submitted by old_hitech on November 18, 2024 - 6:15pm

I recently bought a Brain Board Version 1  on eBay for my Apple II computer. The card works great. The card design provides a nice, efficient way  to get an Apple-1 emulator in my Apple II. My problem is that my Apple II keyboard is not perfect. Some keys will produce two characters instead of just one. This was fine with the Apple II as I could just use the left arrow to 'backspace' over the extra character and type over it. But, to my knowledge,  the Brain Board Apple I emulator does not have a 'backspace'  key. Is there a 'backspace' key for the Apple-1 emulator on the Brain Board?

Apple II Geiger counter?

Submitted by FantasticDan on November 16, 2024 - 10:19am

Has anyone ever come across a Geiger counter that works with Apple II? I remember seeing one in an episode of Mr. Wizard (season 4 ep 13), but I've never actually seen the peripheral or the software. I can't find a clip online but I'll upload a screenshot in horrible definition. It might have a dedicated peripheral card too, the cable is RJsomething though I suppose it could just be using a DB9-RJ45 adapter.

Duodisk thinks all disks are write protected

Submitted by desiv on November 13, 2024 - 10:47pm

Any ideas on what I should try first?

It's been a while since I tried to write floppies on my //e.

 

Fired up ADTPro to try to create a disk.

I can boot off floppies fine.

But when I tried to format, it didn't work.

So I tried the other drive...  Didn't work.

Went into Copy ][ Plus and tried to format, it says the disk is write protected.  No matter which drive.

I have tried several different floppies (unused and appearing to be in good shape) and it's not saying it fails formatting.

Question about Zenith ZVM-122-T Monitor

Submitted by microstar on November 13, 2024 - 12:54pm

I’ve acquired a Zenith ZVM-122-T monochrome composite video monitor that I would like to use with an Apple IIe. There is no RCA-type jack on the input plate but instead there are 4 cables coming out of a  cut-out in the lower left rear corner.I have seen pictures of the exact same monitor configuration on various websites, so it is possible this could be a factory modification? The second photo shows the ends of the 4 cables. There is continuity between the AC ground pin, the shell of the BNC, the green wire, and the braided strap.

Apple II Europlus NTSC colour

Submitted by NebulaBC on November 9, 2024 - 2:54pm

I own an Apple II Europlus, but currently live in north america. I've been considering swapping the crystal and converting the machine to NTSC colour, and I just ordered the parts to do so. As the parts were being shipped, I finally got around to setting up an ADTPro disk (I've just used this machine for writing BASIC programs occasionally up until this point), and I used it to re-burn my diskette of oregon trail that was corrupted. In this process I noticed that I appear to be getting colour out of the machine already (inside the game).
