Smir 3, 1/Apple: advertising?

Hi!  I'm pleased that people like my Smir 3, 1 text adventure even though people have reported bugs in it.  :)  Now, I'm looking for more places to post and advertise the game.  Where can I do that?

Apple2idiot card (ESP32)

While googling I ran across this.  Apparently it was introduced at KansasFest 2022 but since that always seems to be at a time I can't go, I missed it.

 

It is an interesting and different take on interfacing an ESP32 module to an Apple II.  It uses a dual ported SRAM instead of trying to interface the ESP32 to the Apple II bus using something like 74LVC245s or through a parallel chip like a 6522 or 82C55 or through a serial chip like a 6551 or 6850.

Micol Desktop Construction Set

Does anyone have any idea how to actually use Micol's Desktop Construction Set. While there is 'documentation' (attached), it is not at all clear what to do. It 'looks' like it is 'easy' to use, but I need instructions written for a 10 year old. Programmers/Developers should absolutely NEVER be allowed to write user documentation. They almost always make assumptions about the skill level of a user and while this 'documentation' contains lots of information, it is not written is a way that facilitates a first time user to create anything.

Apple IIc Plus Questions

Howdy friends:

I recently had a new friend come to live with us, an Apple IIc Plus.  The machine is in pristine condition and was used very little.

I have had success connecting it to ADTPro and began formating 3.5" floppies, some true 800k floppies and others HD floppies with the hole covered. 

I have had some odd behaviors and could use some advice.

Apple IIGS disk full

Hi

With my Apple IIGS I installed the AppleSqueezer (14 Mhz)  and CFFA3000 boards

 

I use GS OS 6.0.4 from https://www.apple.asimov.net/images/gs/os/gsos/Apple_IIGS_System_6.0.4/ and tried to run Wolf3D but as stated on https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-quest-for-wolfenstein-3d-music-on.html there is no music.

 

So I found the Tool035 file but get an error message telling the system disk is full !

 

How can I save room or enlarge the disk please ?thanks

PrintTok/cc65: new version available, not quite v. 2

Hi!  Over the past few days, I delayed work on printtok2 in favor of a slightly improved version of printtok1.  The new features include 128 one-byte tokens and more special control codes, including pauses, clear screen, inverse mode and, for most CBM targets, up to eight text colors as stored in an array in the modules.  It still doesn't have automatic compression, but I'm working on it.  It is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/cc65extra/files/ui/.  Try it out!
