Apple IIGS Memory Expansion Card Chips?

Submitted by clamm on February 10, 2022 - 5:57am

Hiya folks!

 

I am curious, if I want to add extra chips to my Apple memory expansion card where would I find those chips? It doesn't say in the manual what they're called or where to get them...

 

I have the top row full, but the bottom row is completely empty. So, I believe that means the card only has 256KB on it.

Thanks everyone!

Hello all,

 

The Softcard CP/M prompt "A>" on my enhanced Apple //e shows up as (open-apple)>. Is there a way to fix this?

 

Thanks,

Mockingboard 4c

Submitted by Jim_GS on February 7, 2022 - 2:26pm

Hi,

I have been looking at the Mockingboard 4c kit for the Apple IIc that is still availible on Ebay.  Looks easy enough to install and the price seems reasonable. Does anyone here have one installed in your IIc and what do you think of it?

 

Thanks

Experience with keyswitches and ultrasonic cleaners?

Submitted by Kingpin on February 6, 2022 - 3:45am

I have a problematic old Datanetics keyboard on a (very) old Apple II Plus. I've replaced a couple of keyswitches and cleaned all the keys by injecting isopropanol alcohol into the keyswitches and "working" them for a while and that actually worked and I was able to properly use the keyboard.

Videx 80 column card connector

Submitted by warby on February 5, 2022 - 8:08am

Hi all,

I got a Videx Videoterm 80 column card for my Apple ii plus. It was cheap but of unknown state and didn't come with any connectors. A few questions:

  • Anyone know where to score a softswitch?
  • Anyone know where to score a manual switchplate?
  • Anyone have instruction for building your own switchplate?
  • And anyone have a pinout diagram for the 5 pin molex connector?
    • I can't even test the card because I don't have that connector.
    • Happy to build one, just need to now which pins are for the video output

Thanks!

Base pan paint color

Submitted by 8BitHeaven on February 4, 2022 - 10:05am

I have an Apple ][ where the previous owner took a grinder to the base plate to remove the paint down to bare metal and used epoxy to glue new rubber feet. Has anybody found a good spray can color match?

game port test

Submitted by zappx on February 2, 2022 - 1:53pm

Hi,

please anyone having an Apple IIe, could you try the below code and let me know what is the output?

On my Apple IIe I got 255 0 so i think that something on my game port is broken because I expect to get 127 127. What do you think about it?

Please try it without any joystick connected.

 

10 A =  PDL (0)

20 B =  PDL (1)

30  PRINT A;" ";B

40  GOTO 10

 

thank you
