Apple II

apple IIe SHIFT key issue

Just got an Apple IIe off of eBay. It seems to be working fine, I am able to boot disks, etc. etc.

However, when I am at the command prompt, I can't get either SHIFT key to have any affect.

If I turn the CAPS LOCK on, all my letters are capitalised. But, that doesn't help with making quotes, etc. I also got the additional external keypad, and that is able to generate *, +, etc.

So, I am not sure what is up. Seems like the computer is fine, just both SHIFT keys aren't working. Stumped....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

One Of The BEST Commercials Ever Made ....

Everytime I see this commercial I get a nice warm feeling.
This is "APPLE Computer" at it's greatest -- quiet intellectual coolness.

It speaks to everything it is to be human -- the physicality of playing basketball, the metabolismness of chasin' girls with a car ....

Then Dad shows his bonding with his son & gets 'im the best 8-bit machine ever made -- the "APPLE //c+" computer....

Help looking for an old RPG game

I am looking for an old RPG game for the Apple II. I played this game in 1982. The name of this game I don't know and I have been search for the name for a few months now, but no luck so far.

It was a graphic fantasy RPG game (D&D like)which was in black and white (maybe it used a few colors but me not sure about that).

Vernier Software

this is pretty cool. This company I found while googleing, STILL supports the Apple II. they say they got thier start in 1981 by writing software for the Apple II, and still support it to this day. They make sensors and probs that work for it to. they plug in the game port, and can provide temperature and other data, and thier software is really well made. check it out

Seeking Apple II Hardware Failure Descriptions

Hi, I'm trying to write a short story that involves an Apple II undergoing some sort of catastrophic hardware failure. Unfortunately I'm too young to have used an Apple II (my first computer was a 386), so my description will be unfaithful unless I get some first hand accounts.

Does anyone have any horror stories about Apple IIs biting the dust? I've had power supplies blow up and hard drives crash and I'm wondering what the equivalent disasters for Apple IIs would be. Any plausible scenarios that would result in a small fire would be nice too.
