Apple II

I bought a supposedly tested and working numeric keypad for my IIe. And of course it's not fully working. Half the keys don't work. Opened it up to find that someone spilled coffee or coke in this thing 30+ years ago, and it never got cleaned up. I desoldered all the switches and started tracing out the PCB. Looks like I'm going to have to make 12 bodges.

I have a pile of Apple IIe's I'm refurbishing, and I just ordered a bunch of cap kits from Console5 to recap the power supplies, most of which are the Astec AA11040B style.  Iniitally, I discovered all but one worked properly, so I was a bit surprised to see varying behavior when I started the recap process.  Specifically, several would provide the +/-5V and +/-12V outputs when powered on.  Others simply made a repeated ticking sound, a symptom I've come to understand is often a capacitor issue - such was the case when I worked through a few IBM power supplies.

Hello,

I got these two cards from an auction and I think they come from the same pc. I believe one is a Sasi (scsi) card to interface a xebec HD and probably the second one is intended to interface a tape drive. I have no clues about where to find docs or sw for them. They are both from HAL manufacturer. Does anyone know anything about it?

Thanks

I know most games don't fully use the analog nature of the Apple joystick.  But at least one game does (Conan - you can either walk or run) and its not working right on my IIe with two different joysticks.  Anytime I try to run right by pushing the joystick all the way, he never goes faster than walk speed.  Which actually makes the first level impossible, as you have to jump a gap with a running start.  I have 2 different Apple brand joysticks, and neither work right with the IIe and Conan.  They do however work fine with Conan and my IIc and IIgs.
