More troubles with ADTPro

Submitted by bnfmsgeek on August 9, 2007 - 7:17pm

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?

Problems w/ ADTPro Vista-A2GS

Submitted by bnfmsgeek on August 9, 2007 - 1:26pm

Hi all,

I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm having troubles
bootstrapping ProDOS using ADTPro. I do everything according to the
directions on the website. When I click "OK" and the program starts
sending ProDOS part 1, all that is shown are blackslashes - such as this:

ect.

Music Studio by Activision

Submitted by Grazey on August 2, 2007 - 1:15pm

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of the largest archive of Atari ST chip music on the net (sndh.atari.org).

Currently I'm adding music which was composed with Activision's Music Studio.

Basically I'd like to know if songs written with the Apple version are compatible with the ST version of MS.

I've found some Apple MS tunes at

http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the_ring/application_pages/music_studio.html

in SHK and 2mg formats.

But before I attempt to extract and convert the files could somebody please tell me if they are compatible.

5.25 (3.5) disk life span?

Submitted by Jim_GS on July 26, 2007 - 4:46pm

As I understand it, the 5.25 disk, over time, will corrupt due to the weakening of its magnetic field? If this is true does anyone have an idea of the life span? I have had a few of my older original Apple IIe programs on 5.25 disk failed when I took them out of storage (I really hated the lost of copy II plus 7.1!), usually with bad sectors. Lucky most of the backup copies I made are still good, but I feel like I am living on borrowed time with these.

Apple IIe Platinum Laptop

Submitted by shalala124 on July 26, 2007 - 12:14pm

I have an Apple IIe Platinum without a case and I have an idea for a new one that I need to check if its possible to make one according to my idea. The case would be like that of a Power book 100, and would be operated off batteries. Not only that, but it would have an LCD screen. Any ideas?

IIGS and Mac HFS disk

Submitted by Jim_GS on July 23, 2007 - 10:39am

I ran a cross a snippet on the internet that basicly said I could retrieve text files I had saved from my Apple IIc to 5.25 disk, write them to a 3.5 disk on my GS and finally transfer them to my Mac. As I understand it the IIgs will write a HFS disk (3.5) which the Mac can read. Now I tried this but my Color Classic just comes up with the disk intialization pop up...it obviously is not reading the disk as I thought it would based on what I read.

Formatting HD 5.25 disks on Apple IIc

Submitted by Dark Goob on July 18, 2007 - 9:24pm

I bought some 5.25 disks on eBay. They are MD2-HD (1.2MB MSDOS format) high density disks. But when I put them in the Apple IIc and to INIT HELLO, it does not format the disk. Instead I get a I/O Error.

What is going on? I thought you could format HD disks as SD... ? Can someone tell me how to fix this, thanks. Or where to get SD disks.
