Apple II

Where is the best place to try and purchase Apple IIe equipment? I'm looking for a system in nice working condition, drives, monitor, add-on boards, etc... I see them on eBay and could begin bidding there, but as I learned when I began collecting for classic MACs, there are soem better places than eBay to purchase Mac equipment. I joined a mailing list for the MAC (LEM Swap List). Is there a similar list for Apple IIe equipment, or am I better off just going through eBay?

Thanks

Hello all, I have an Apple ][+ computer here that I'd like to repair, yet I have no idea what's going on with it. when I first got it, I tried the DOS disk but quickly found out that either the controller or the drive itself wasn't working properly. I removed the components and tried again. This time, monitor came up and everything was all good and I had my fun tinkering with the basic language.

The next day, I went back and turned it on, but i was no longer greeted with "APPLE ][", but with this;

I have attached a picture of the Asynchronous Serial Interface card I am trying to get working with my Apple II Europlus: NOT FOUND: 1 I have no cable to connect to the 26 pin header labelled J2, but I am hoping it will work as an RS-232 port by just connecting a 25 core ribbon cable to a standard D-25 connector. There are 4 switches labelled "BAUD RATE" at the top right as well - If I can't get any specific information on this card, I suppose I'll just have to toggle them into various configurations and see if I can get a connection.

Thanks,
Ken

Hello,

I just acquired an Apple II Europlus in working but slightly dodgy condition, and have some questions. I was hoping some people here may be able to help me.

First of all, it has an "Asynchronous Serial Interface" card, but no cable. I'd appreciate any pointers to documentation on this card so I can build a cable and use it to connect my Apple up to other computers.
