High quality single page schematics

Submitted by Raidersan on June 12, 2023 - 5:10pm

Hi,

Does anybody knows of Apple ][ schematics that are on 1 big page (A2/A1) in high quality? It would so much easier to follow on screen and I would to get some of them printed on a big poster as well. I do remember in the 80's an electrician/enthusiast friend of my dad that had a whole collection of A1 or A2 schematics of Apple and Commodore he used to pull out when fixing them. I have been searching for a few days now and have found the traditional websites with the schematics split over multiple pages and often of medium quality.

Thanks!

Video-7 RGB *without* 64k?

Submitted by TimCross on June 11, 2023 - 12:52am

Does documentation exist for this card?  I believe it is RGB (it has a 15 connector)  but just not the RAM.  Anyone aware of this card?

Submitted by tony359 on June 10, 2023 - 4:30pm

Hi all,

 

I've recently purchased an apple //c for myself and I was told it had an issue with the floppy. Well, it turned out it was a bit more than that. I made a repair video, any feedback always welcome!

Apple III Fortran

Submitted by old_hitech on June 9, 2023 - 2:00pm

Was Apple III Fortran a real product? I read references to it from Apple from a couple of brochures/magazine articles, but do not see it listed on any price list. I recently viewed a YouTube video on the Apple III and the author showed a program selector screen with Apple III Fortran as a option to select. Is Apple III Fortran available to download somewhere?

Fastchip conflict with mouse card.

Submitted by mm09 on June 9, 2023 - 7:30am

I have a Platinum IIe with mouse card and AE RAMWORKS 1MB. I run the Airheart demo with the Fastchip (RAMWORKS OFF). After several minutes, regardless of speed, the system freezes. Without mouse card and/or with internal 448KB RAMWORKS ON, the demo runs continuously.

Alternate solution to digital copies of manuals

Submitted by Stargeezer on June 2, 2023 - 12:14pm

Hi all:

Like my computers, I am old school and like to hold paper versions of manuals and documents.  But, as we all experience, the cost of adding to our vintage collections keeps rising and rising (like the cost of everything else).

I have started printing a lot of the digital versions of various manuals and books, but many are WAY more pages than is cost effective to print at home on an ink jet.  I also hate stapled documents if its a reference book or I'm adding it to a collection of books.

Flyback Transformers for CRTs

Submitted by Stargeezer on May 31, 2023 - 9:18pm

Hi all:

Does anyone know of a good source, outside the standard eBay, to find flyback transformers for old CRTs?  I need to replace one in an Amdek 300A.

Thanks,

Mark

Weird 80 Column Switching Behaviour

Submitted by Silicon-Surfer on May 28, 2023 - 7:43pm

I'm hoping someone can help me with the weird behaviour of the below clone 80 Column card on my Apple II+. This card has onboard switching, and a pass through for the composite output of the Apple II motherboard. But when I enter the command PR#3, the cursor disappears, but the output doesn't switch.

cc65 users: printtok.c updated!

Submitted by Harry Potter on May 27, 2023 - 6:20pm

Hi!  I just updated my printtok.c cc65 C module online.  It is now much smaller in object size and adds an option to use zeropage to store two of its variables.  I also bettered its extended memory support but still didn't test this support.  :(   The compression techniques didn't change, though.  You can find it at c65 additions - Manage /ui at SourceForge.net.  Try it out!
