CFFA3000 and supported file formats

Submitted by Edward-G on June 26, 2021 - 4:16pm

Although I have been using retro computers for many years, I have only been using Apple II computers for a short time. I recently obtained an Apple IIGS and am having a lot of fun with it. I am using it with the Floppy Emu device by bigmessowires.com to load my software. The Floppy Emu supports a wide variety of file types. I am considering purchasing a CFFA3000 card from ReActiveMicro.com, but would like to get a better handle on what file types it supports. Although the manual for the CFFA3000 does list some file types, I do not believe it mentions all the supported file types.

Imagewriter II - not printing properly

Submitted by StevenL on June 24, 2021 - 8:24pm

Hi,

Recently I have obtained an imagewriter II printer and hooked it up to my Apple IIe via the SSC.

When I print something I drew from Mousepaint, the print starts off well but is always cut short, ending with some garbage characters. (please see attached pictures)

Likewise, when I print a single page from The Print Shop, it also prints well until the end – the lower frame of a single page message is cut off similarly. (sorry, no pictures)

Apple IIe enhanced

Submitted by Seeker on June 24, 2021 - 12:18am

Doesn't the 'e' in Apple IIe stand for enhanced?

Well today I got very confused (nothing new here) in a phone conversation with a good friend. He says he got an Apple IIe enhanced. I told him that mentioning it's enhanced doesn't make sense since the e already stands for enhanced. To make a long story short, I found out about the IIenhanced enhanced. Does anyone know the story behind this double enhanced situation? What was Apple thinking?

I mostly use a IIc so I am not into the IIe hardware scene much, although this will change soon.

Sider Pascal Support Disk

Submitted by dfxgordon on June 21, 2021 - 6:20am

Hello, probably a longshot, but does anyone know where to get an image of the Sider support utilities for Pascal?

There is one on Asimov but I believe it is incomplete.  In particular, it only has one file QUIT.CODE, I would think there is more.  Also it didn't work.

Motivation is just to get all the OS partitions working.  I never got my hands on the Pascal stuff back in the day.

PEEK(78) and PEEK(79) in Applesoft BASIC

Submitted by jrybak on June 16, 2021 - 4:03pm

The Applesoft BASIC Reference says that PEEK(78) and PEEK(79) yield a value from a  "Random-Number Field" but doesn't say how those numbers are generated.  Can anyone tell me how they are generated?  In other words, how random are they?  Thanks.

How to prepare a CF card to work with my CFFA3000

Submitted by tokabln on June 15, 2021 - 1:49pm

Folks, as another topic about the CFFA3000 just started, I immediately remember that I'm still lacking to get a CF card prepared to work with my CFFA3000 (latest version)

 

What I've done so far is:

- formatting the card using FAT16   (done using Win 7)

- made it bootable using diskpart     (done using Win 7)

- using ciderpress to copy diskimages to the CF card

 

Regardless what I'm doing, my card doesn't boot. Is there a good and handy description (not the user manual) what needs to be done for daft people like me ?

I'm using an Apple //e

Submitted by mi2k on June 14, 2021 - 11:28am

Apparently the CFFA3000 cards are being manufactured again...

Did they have to double the price ?? I do not think the parts cost increased that much...
