Apple 2e | issue with prompt and logo

Hi all,

I need your advice about this situation.

When the system starts the displayed logo is "Apple è*"  and the prompt is "è" -> see attached images.

But... if I start a program from diskette, the program works... if I go back to the system, the prompt is not what I expect "]"

 

What's wrong?

 

Some advice?

 

Grazie

Joseph

Apple ][+ Cassette in

Any help appreciated, first time posting. Feel like I've tried everything under the sun to get the "cassette in" on my Apple ][+ to fully work. I CAN get low fi files from http://asciiexpress.net/ to work, so the signal is getting to the Apple. On their site's README it says "If HIFI does not work for you, then it never will on that system, use 8KFI."  That's a pretty vague stattement, but opens up a question. Has ANYONE gotten a ][+ to accept HIFI? My system won't accept 8KFI either.

Need some help on misbehaving II single board keyboard

Tyring to repair a nearly working keyboard but ran into a problem where the semi colon key does a double press when pressed.

I've looked at the C4 which is the one that controls the debounce and found a charge time that's 50% of what's specificed in the Apple II Circuit description where it's stated the charge is 8ms, but this charge is only 4ms which may be causing the problem as a second poll happens too quickly. Right?

Is it worth it to get a modem on my Apple IIGS?

So, I thought that it'd be cool to buy a WiModem 232 Pro and a Apple 8-Pin Mini-DIN to DB25 Male Modem Cable to connect to my Apple IIGS. I would most likely use it for BBSes, but I'm not really sure if it's worth it -- what do you guys think? Are there any other uses for a WiModem?

Apple II adapter for using multiple joysticks!?

I found [this](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1716794783/apple-ii-iigs-adapter-for-using-up-to) on Esty, and it seems pretty cool for use on an Apple IIGS with two Kraft KC 3 Precision Joysticks. What do you guys think?

But the main reason I made this was because I was wondering if it's possible to take joystick in out from both joysticks and make a AppleSoft BASIC game, like Pong, that allows two players to use their own joysticks. Do you think that this is possible?

Creating an Apple IIGS

Hey guys, this is my first topic, so thanks for replying!

I'm a computer-and-coding type of guy. I code in like 6 different proggramining languages, but I thought, hey why not try to get my hands on one of those old Apple IIGS that we all used to love. So, I've been doing lots of research and creating a whole document with the parts I'd like to buy and use. Do you guys have any feedback on things I should/shouldn't get?

Here's the parts:

another unvented II

Looks like it's missing some parts. This is the third unvented II (S/N 119) I've seen in 35 some odd years on fleaBay.

The two other were S/N 5 and S/N 25.

(listing deleted. looks like afraudulent listing)

Baffled by Rev 3 Motherboard

I purchased a Rev 3 motherboard on eBay with the hopes of installing it in my original Apple II. I currently have a working Rev 4 motherboard in the Apple II. I started by testing all the ICs that came with the Rev 3 row by row by placing them into the Rev 4 motherboard. I was able to find one or two bad ICs this way. During this process I had placed the ICs removed from the Rev 4 MB into the Rev 3 MB so I had known good ICs in the Rev 3.
