Need help getting SCSI CDrom working in GS-OS for Apple IIgs

I have an Apple IIgs with a Scsi card and I want to get a Cdrom working with it. This computer has a scsi harddrive with GS-OS 6.0.4 it boots to. I have a known working External Apple 300 CDrom drive I am trying to use but I also have a couple 3rd party external scsi cdroms as well. I loaded the Media Control panel and here is a photo.

Apple ][/II+/IIe I/O Controller aka Apple ][ 5.25" Disk Controller - info needed

So there is no confusion, the Apple part number for this controller is 655-0101-B that I recently purchased to be used with a recently purchased DuoDisk and hopefully the Floppy EMU hack drive.  I have no cable for the DuoDisk but can make one or buy one.

(IIgs) SS RAM-GS expansion chips

Hey all -

 

I've recently started to get back into my IIgs and that includes opening them up and re-aquainting myself with what's installed.

 

My ROM 3 GS has a RAM expansion from Sequential Systems, (c) 1991, one of the cards without the RAM-GS silkscreening.  It's a 2MB card with the open row of sockets available for expansion.

printtok/cc65 update: ideas?

Hi!  I'm working on an update of my printtok.c module that will use a modified version of Infocom's ZSCII technique and tokenization to compress text.  The current version only uses tokenization, is inferior and only helped a text adventure's text by about 13%.  While I'm working on it, does anybody here have any ideas on how I can better compress text such that each string doesn't have to reference a previous string?

DOS 3.3: which file to download?

Hi!  I just Googled and found Apple DOS 3.3 disks at APPLE2.ORG.ZA - Mirrors.  I want one for future projects including an Apple2 port of my text adventure codes.  I am looking for an empty DOS 3.3 disk image on which I can put DOS 3.3 programs.  Unfortunately, the site has several DOS 3.3 disk images, and I don't know which one to download.  Which file should I choose?

Copies of "The Applesoft Tutorial"

I have found myself teaching a computers class (something that falls outside my regular purview) as a result of staff shortages at my school, and I'm wanting to introduce coding to the kids using BASIC. The trouble is, there really was never a good curriculum to follow for something like this because BASIC as a language isn't commonly taught anymore and I feel like most of the teachers that WOULD have taught BASIC all created their own stuff anyway.

Cross-platform Apple2/Windows users: Template Creator

Okay.  I apologize for the SPAM--the administrator here can remove this message--but I have a program called Template Creator.  It is a program that creates, handles, organizes and uses templates.  There are versions for DOS, Windows and the C64.  The C128 version currently doesn't work, and I want to port it to the Apple2.  It is located at tmpcreat - Manage Files at SourceForge.net.  I have some templates for it.  It has little for the Apple2 user, but I am accepting donations in the form of Apple2-emulation-related templates,

cc65: creating an Apple2 ProDOS system program?

Hi!  I've been working on a memory enhancement for the Apple2enh target for cc65, and the emulator went directly into the monitor.  :(  It seems to have extra data in the beginning of the file.  I assume this data is not supposed to be there.  Earlier today, I tried to write a program to test how cc65 handles text for the Apple2 series and got the same results.  I must be doing something wrong.  I checked the cc65 docs. and tried to remove the header.  Same result.  How do I compile a cc65 program for the Apple2?

cc65 optimizations online!

Hi!  When I program, I enjoy optimizing my programs.  In fact, I have 50 optimization techniques for cc65 online at c65 additions - Manage Files at SourceForge.net, and most of them are mine.  I ask you to try them out and tell me what you think.
