designing new I/O cards for the ][ ?

Submitted by justjeff on October 27, 2006 - 11:42am

Has anyone thought about making a new serial interface card for the ][ bus? It doesn't seem like it would be a hard thing to stick a uart, a canned 1.8432MHz oscillator, one of those max232 line buffer/driver chips, and a small eprom on a small card these days. A uart like a 6551 or 6851 (or ugh! even a 16550) ought to make the firmware easy. I know of at least one place (expressPCB) that provides free software that lets you lay out a card and then they etch them for you, cheap, and supposedly double sided and through-hole plated, too. Can you etch edge connectors on those things?

Look for a game

Submitted by shortcircuit on October 26, 2006 - 4:39pm

I am looking for a the name of a math game for an apple 2e. That involved racing two robots with math?
I remember playing this game in school in the 1980's on a apple IIe
It involved two robots that would move by getting math questions right. If you landed on a special block it would lower you to the next line to cross. There were like 4 or 5 lines to get across.

Trying to Find an Action Game, Please Help!

Submitted by cheapo on October 19, 2006 - 12:13pm

Hello all!

I'm trying to remember the name of an action game I used to play on my Apple II when I was a kid. I had about 8 year at the time, so it was around 1988.

I fixed It!

Submitted by apple2freak on October 14, 2006 - 12:51pm

I finally fixed my Apple II! The problem was that 74LS161 had an bent pin, so I got some IC extractors, pulled It out, and found that I could not fix the pin. I didn't go that far for nothing! I got one of my Bell & Howells that I was going to sell (I have three of those) and removed that chip from that computer and replaced It in my apple II. After that delicate procedure, I powered It on, and It finally made the beep noise that I had been waiting to hear for so long. So now It works. Hallelujah!
As soon as I can I will get some pictures of It working.
But I'm happy. (:

In need of an Apple IIe complete system!

Submitted by abokolor on October 13, 2006 - 9:17pm

I'm trying to get into my vintage Apple days when I had an Apple IIe back in the early eighties. Does anyone here have or know of where I can pick up an Apple IIe system for free Wink or perhaps pay a fair price for a "new" system that's been boxed away somehow? After I obtain the Apple IIe, I'm also looking for a game series called "Kings Quest" (I think there were about four of these games in the series written for the Apple IIe) which I really enjoyed playing back in the day.
