Floppy Drive Emulator vs. CF Card Reader

Hey, so I was just wondering if there were any advantages to using a floppy drive emulator like the FloppyEmu over a CF card reader like ReActiveMicro's Drive/Turbo IDE Controller.

 

I am currently making a video guide on getting into the Apple II, so any pointers to differences that would be important to new comers would be greatly appreciated!

Apple //c monitor suggestion

Hi all,

 

Getting my first //c to add to my collection of //e and IIGS systems. What are the options for a monitor? It looks like there's both a DB15 and Composite output on the back, does that 15 pin work or is it just the composite? I have an AppleColor monitor I use with my IIGS, would be great to use that with the //c. If not, what other options exist, preferably not something that's 35 years old :-)

 

Thanks for any help.

Apple II lid styles and mesh strips

My II+ needs a lid, and there are currently three for sale on ebay, all slightly different styles. I suppose it probably doesn't matter greatly, but is there a way to match the "correct" lid for my specific apple?

Very early Apple II PSU blows fuses

I'm working on a very early Apple II power supply, serial number in the 3000's.  I want to restore it to proper working order, with a minimum of fuss to keep it reasonably original and historically accurate.  Although I did have to drill out the 2 rivets that Apple decided to use to keep us safe from ourselves.  I suppose I could replace them after I'm done.

RamPak 4gs Utilities

I have a RamPal 4gs card and the utilities disk. Yup, paid for it I don't know how many years ago. I just trie dto run it on my GS, but none of the software seems to come from Irange Micro and files mentioned in the manual are not on the disk. Strange.

Does anyone know of a source for the utilities that came with the card?

Thanks.
