Beta tester wanted

Submitted by jeffmazur on March 13, 2024 - 3:06pm

In search of a couple beta testers for a new ROMX product. Must have at least one Apple II (plus) clone - specifically those with the same chip spacing between the D0 ROM and LS138 (locations F11 to F12 = 0.25" or 6.35mm pin to pin). DM me with a list of your machines and what other boards are inside. Must be in US and have a few weeks to thoroughly test. If you already have a ROMX Text ROM that's a plus!

What? No Beep??

Submitted by Navigator22 on March 13, 2024 - 10:48am

What is the general meaning of "No Beep" on startup?  I have just taken my Apple IIe (Enhanced) out of storage after 35 years.  Trying to make her work for my grandsons to learn by.  Any help out there??

Many Thanks,

Paul

Design for a 3.3v IOU replacement

Submitted by frozen signal on March 11, 2024 - 8:20pm

I am designing the 3.3v version of a replacement for the IOU. Once it's done and I know it works, I'd like to add it to my open source IOU/MMU as a 'reference implemenation'. However, I'm just a hobbyist hardware designer, and probably not a very good one at that.

I am posting my thoughts on the design, to satisfy the curiosity for some, and to get any comment for those with hardware design experience.

 

 

I will use the ICE5LP1K-SG48. It's cheap and very easy to find. It also have an internal oscillator, which I need to add a delay to /RAS.

How important are the IWM features for the Apple IIc ?

Submitted by UncleBernie on March 1, 2024 - 5:15pm

Hi Fans -

 

as you might know, I'm working on my Replica 2e project which aims to produce a substitute for all Apple II from the early ones to the Apple IIe and the Apple IIc without using any of Apple's proprietary custom ICs, like the MMU, IOU and  the IWM. The link to the project thread is here:

A2 PSU blew a fuse with huge POP need some help on wiring

Submitted by KLund1 on February 28, 2024 - 6:17pm

I got an A2 Astec AA11404 PSU. Not the later  -B version

It was dead, so I did a total recap. In and several that I have done in the past that was all that was needed. But those were all -B units.

When I pluged this one in to test votages, the fuse made a relitivly large exposion !! it made 3/4" burn mark on the mettal case with a rectifier in the way!

Well, obviously somethig is wrong. 

I looked more closely at the mains IN wiring. Looks like some one bypasted the 240/115 voltage selctor switch. 

So I'm a little lost on how this should be wired correctly.
