Apple II+ keybaord to USB

Happy New Year all:

Got a project on the horizon and I can't seem to hit the right search terms.

I have an Apple II+ I plan to empty of all parts (I'll post here for any interested party once the project is done).

The goal is to put an Apple II+ Raspberry Pi emulator in the case.  I want to use the original keyboard with the RasPi.

What is driving me nuts is I could swear I came across a website where someone did just this.  I know there are posts and videos of people doing this to Commodore 64s.

Help me diagnose an Apple IIc Disk Drive issue

Hi, second time writing in the forum.

 

I have an issue with an Apple IIc that suddenly stopped communicating with the internal Disk Drive, no sound at all, no spin, no read/write. The computer boots and beeps and shows "Apple //c" and "Check Disk Drive" message. Got to add that the drive used to make sound, sping and read/write intermittently.

Apple Monitor Capacitors

Hey all. Recently I purchased an Apple Color Monitor (model A2M6020), unfortunately after receiving it I noticed that the screen was acting funky. After talking to a friend I learned that the capacitors need to be replaced. Was wondering if anybody knew offhand what type of capacitors it uses and how many.

Apple ll Prototype?

Hello everyone! So, I have been spending the last few months trying to research as MUCH as I could about a certain Apple ll Prototype.

 

So, here's what I know. This Prototype had to have been made after the Apple-1 but created before the Apple ll Rev. 0 board was finallized. I found out that this prototype existed because there are two individual Youtube videos showcasing it. I have the links for those videos.

Sorry - I have to comment on these [Bell & Howell Apple wrenches]

I apologize in advance and I don't usually comment on these type of eBay things because it is really not any of my business,  but folks have been posting these incorrectly for several years now and bother me each time I go to search if any B&H apples are for sale.  :-)

Apple IIe Canadian Version?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone. Only 40 years after I saw one in person I finally got myself and Apple IIe, I had pretty much all the Commodore machines but always wanted a Apple. Anyway, the one I picked up is a IIe with the keyboard layout switch for the English/Canadian French. I don't believe it to be a euro model as the Video Rom is 24pin not 28. I'm pretty sure it is enhance with 65C02A, 341-304-A,  342-0303-A and 342-0292-A (has the 65C02 sticker). Does anyone have any history info on this version?

Apple //c monitor stand plastic mount part

I've been checking ebay regularly since April of this year looking for the monitor mount for the Apple //c monitor stand. My wife had gotten me a broken //c (because repairing/restoring this old stuff is the best part) with the monitor and stand for my birthday but the previous owner didn't have the mount part of the stand. If anyone has a spare mount without the metal stand that they'd like to sell or knows where I can find one online I'd be interested. If I can't find one, I'm tempted to use my 3D printer to build one that's close enough by looking at pictures.

Apple II Rom card (un-populated)

Hi all and Merry Christmas:

In my lot of stuff from earlier in the year, I discovered I have  an un-populated genuine Apple ROM card.  Bare-card; no components.

I am looking for some education on the value/use of these cards before I start adding components.  I did the requisite Google searches and found pictures of the original box and images of the card but not documentation.   I'm not looking to sell the card, just learn about its use.

Does anyone have any documentation scanned?

Cheers,

mark
