Apple Disk Transfer With A Laptop...

Submitted by A2forever on February 21, 2008 - 7:14am

Well it turns out the high speed usb adapter , along with a IIC null cable modem works like a champ when it comes to transfering Apple 5 1/4 disks! Just wanted to say thanks to Dave @ www.retrofloppy.com for the cables :O) Thanks.... Goes too show you , you dont always need a serial cable to do transfers!

ACS for Apple II

Submitted by Jim_GS on February 19, 2008 - 1:25pm

Back in the eighties I was always a sucker for the construction set games for the Apple. I fired up Adventure Construction Set by Stuart Smith on my GS the other day and got drawn in for a few hours. Although primitive by todays standards it was quite a powerful tool for its time.

Apple 5.25 drive boots before 3.5

Submitted by austinramsay on February 17, 2008 - 12:43pm

Okay, I know I have been posting too many questions and need a lot of help, and I wish I could help you people out, but I can barely help myself! (lol) I will try to help other people when I learn more about this stuff, it's hard to remember everything from sometimes over 20 years ago! Anyway, when using my IIgs, it always tries to look at things in the 5.25 drive instead of the 3.5 drive where I want it to.

Apple II+ question....

Submitted by A2forever on February 12, 2008 - 1:20pm

I have an Apple II+ , and want to improve the apple's memory.... I remember back in the day , that there were certain rom boards that one could use , to beef up the apple's memory from 64k to 128K , infact I remember there was a board that I had at one time , that actaully had DOS 3.3 on it! And when I would bootup the apple , it would drop to a DOS promt and I could actually do basic commands right from there! Catalog , etc... but getting back to the board , if someone could suggest a board , that would be great , this way I could run Apple //e programs on my II+

When starting up my IIgs and booting GS/OS, and it responds -

Unable to load START.GS.OS file. Error=$0027

It was working fine today and all the sudden won't boot anymore except it will boot from a 5.25 inch disk. Please help, I can't believe it's not booting!

Microtek serial parallel card??

Submitted by trogdor on February 9, 2008 - 10:46pm

Hey all,
Nice forum here Biggrin

I got a nice Apple IIe (with 80 column/64k expansion card, does this make a IIe "Enhanced"?).
Anyway, there is a card inside it, a MicroTek SV622, attached to a female DB25 port. Is this a serial or parallel port? Google has not been helpful, and I've not been able to get ADT to work with it. I can provide pics if it helps.

Apple iigs puts out different color text

Submitted by austinramsay on February 7, 2008 - 7:14pm

When I run any software with color in it, I am using a green monochrome monitor, but I plug the hookup into the TV and the text is many colors, like every letter is a different color, and the apple is differ colors too. Is there a setting I have to change for color monitors? Also, when using GS/OS 6.0.1, while I look at the time, every time another second adds on to the clock I can here something inside the IIgs. Even when the clock is just sitting there waiting to add a second into it. Can I make the time dissapear and stop making it keep track of time? Or can I make that noise stop?
