Apple IIc that kind of works

I got an apple IIc for free, and it has some problems I'd like to fix, if possible.

One: it's missing a few keys (where can I get Apple II(c) keys?)

Two: the 'U' key responds to presses once in a blue moon. (I've taken the keyboard out to look at it, but I don't see any easy way to get at the individual keys' circuits)

Old Apple II games.

Hi! I'm trying to remember the name of an old apple II game I used to play. It's basically like "cross country usa" except without the commodities abd geography. You have to get your car from on town on a map to another, and along the way you have to choose when to eat/sleep/fuel at towns en route and which way you want to drive based on a crude map. The big thing I remember is every once and a while your car would "throw a rod" and the game would end. It's driving me nuts though. It's as though the game doesn't even exist!

Help with an old Apple IIgs

Hi everyone... me and a friend have found an old Apple IIgs with two floppy drives but no disks to boot. I managed to get to the Control Panel and to Basic though. I've read a lot of stuff and I understand there's this ADT for Windows which would allow me to make the apple 2 write a disk through a null modem cable, but it seems it needs the DOS on the apple 2 side, which I don't have cos I don't have any disk, as I've said before. Now, I'd like to know if there's any way to make this ADT work and write disks from basic, i.e. without DOS.

Cleaning old yellowed Apple components

I just got my in-laws old Apple IIc, they used it lightly for only a year or two before switching over to a Mac and storing the IIc. I did not realized just how yellowed my own computers had become over time until I had the new IIc set up next to them.

I am looking for cleaning product suggestions to reduce the yellowed appearance on my systems.
I am hesitant to use a bleach product since it can "melt" plastic. Anyone find an effective way to reduce the yellowing on their systems?

Thanks
jim

IIgs System saver...replacement fan

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good replacement fan for the IIgs system saver? Mine sounds like a sherman tank and getting worse! Link to an online source would be appreciated. I just finished removing the fan...looks pretty cheaply made.

Thanks
Jim

Roving Nostalga for an Unique AppleII Game

Well, I was fooling about with an Apple //e emulator and suddenly I was struck by a sense of nostalgia; I had /never/ finished an old Apple // game that I had checked out from the Hennepin County Library (in Minnesota.) The interesting thing about this game was that most of the flavortext was in the 26-ish booklets (they were labeled by letter) that came with it.

What I can remember about the content of the game is pretty shoddy; it was a space exploration game which had a labyrinthine map of Scienterrific[tm] spacewarpthingies to varieties of different planets.

More troubles with ADTPro

Hi! It's me (again),
Now that I finally got ADTPro to transfer ProDOS, I'm running in to
another roadblock. When Part 1 finishes transferring, it loads ProDOS
halfway, but stays in the monitor (*). What do I do? When I type IN#2
a bunch of random characters crawls across the screen. (Memory
addresses or values or something like that. Am I doing something
wrong?
