Wasteland from Archive

Submitted by MilesPrower2001 on October 16, 2024 - 2:00pm
I have been trying for what seems like weeks to get Wasteland by Interplay working on my system. I've written the .dsk images to floppies with ADTPro. I go to the copy screen and I can't seem to copy side 1 of the game. Sides 2-4 seem to have copied correctly, but never side 1. All I get is a messed up screen of graphics. If it helps at all, I've been using both my //e and //c  I've only got one Unidisk for the //e.

A2VGA-like card with Mockingboard emulation at the same time

Submitted by Tronix on October 15, 2024 - 9:39am

Hi, 

I wanted to add Mockingboard emulation functionality to the A2VGA-like board at the same time as the vga output. The first problem that needed to be solved was to free up several GPIOs for the right and left audio channels as well as for /IRQ control. As you know, in the standard A2VGA circuit all GPIOs are occupied, and I needed at least three free GPIOs. In the standard circuit 9 GPIOs are used to output the color code:

I posted a message "Weird issue: closing disk drive door crashed Apple IIe", but now I can't open the post any more. Every time I click the message, I get an error message "Error: The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later."

Submitted by Manzana2 on October 13, 2024 - 6:37am

It's so strange . My Apple II can't boot with roms at the main board but can do with those roms installed on a romcard at slot #0 .I've checked socket connections and they look 

fine.

Weird issue: closing disk drive door crashes Apple IIe

Submitted by dreamhacker on October 13, 2024 - 12:12am

I got an Apple IIe enhanced with a 5.25" disk II drive. The weird issue is that after I boot a DOS or Pro DOS disk, it works fine until I open or close the door of the disk drive! When that happens, the computer crashes with adding a few random characters on the screen and entering the monitor. At the meantime, the disk drive light is on and the disk drive keeps spinning the disk. I've run a couple of diagnostics utilities like APTEST and Cillin II, all RAM tests passed without errors. What do you think causes the issue? The disk drive?

Laser 128 Questions

Submitted by tiktok4321 on October 11, 2024 - 10:30am

Greetings.  I have recently acquired a Laser 128 - new case, non-silver badge.  I'm running Laser 128 ROM 6.0.  I have an external 5.25" drive set up and it works fine. I'm very familiar with Apple in general as a user, but not with regards to a technical/electronics level.  That being said, I'm trying to learn, but I'm a slow study.  One of my rare but most cherished success stories is how easy it was to connect ADTPro to my iMac.  That is giving me a lot of opportunity to play while I tackle the punch list below.

CFFA3000 Write Protection

Submitted by Airshark on October 11, 2024 - 4:11am

Hello All -

 

Have another CFFA3000 question. I have discovered certain games (original Sir-Tech Wizardry for example) that will not run if the disks are not write-protected. I can verify this by putting tape over the write protect notches on real 5-1/4" floppies (which works fine). How can I do the equivalent on a CFFA3000 disk image? Can this be done for an image on a CF card, or does it have to be run only from a USB stick?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Submitted by Airshark on October 10, 2024 - 3:09am

Does anybody know how to remove unwanted disk images from a CFFA3000 disk emulator in a IIGS? They just keep accumulating. Also, how can I put them in folders?

 

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Greengate DS:4

Submitted by johnnewcombe on October 9, 2024 - 4:15pm
I've just aquired a Greengate DS:4 and wondered if anyone had any documentation or software for this Apple II based sampler. I understand that there were only 50 made and of those only 3 were sold. I am told that the device worked on both the Apple II and the Apple IIGS.
