Toolkit for Applesoft BASIC

Submitted by LoadError on May 11, 2021 - 4:46am

Hello everyone,

I'm an Apple IIc owner and I would like to port a little BASIC project to the Apple II platform (so far I've done Commodore 64, Commodore VIC-20, Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Sinclair ZX81 versions).

My goal is to work on Microsoft Windows, test the code in an emulator (AppleWin), and when ready, trasfer the program to a 5,25" floppy disk and to the actual hardware.

IIe Boots to System Diagnostic

Submitted by Roosa on May 10, 2021 - 2:03am

I have a IIe which always boots to the system diagnostic (garbage screen followed by "System OK"), no beep.  My understanding is that this is traditionally caused by either a bad keyboard connection or a stuck key.  However, I've tried:

IIgs WOZ Images

Submitted by nick3092 on May 4, 2021 - 8:54pm

Looks like someone is starting to image and share IIgs software in WOZ format. I reached out to the Floppy Emu author, as of now the 3.5" emulated drive can't use them. He said in theory it's possible. But he's currently focusing on another project. Hopefully now that the images are rolling out he will eventually support them. But for now, no go.

 

 

I'm not sure if wDrive has support for WOZ on 3.5. But given this is the first I'm seeing the images, I'd be surprised if it does.

Apple II Europlus numeric keypad

Submitted by Sid6.7 on May 2, 2021 - 5:35pm

Hello everyone.Today I found the numeric keypad for Apple II, II+, Europlus that you see in the picture.

I don't have any manuals so I ask you if any of you can explain to me, better if with photographs, how to connect it to my Apple II Europlus.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Help me identify this Expansion Board

Submitted by aaronkatrini on May 1, 2021 - 6:18am

Hi all,

 

I've recently received some retro expansion cards, most of them are for PCs (ISA), but I also have this, what I believe is, Apple II Expansion Card.

Here is a photo I took:

Has anyone been able to get part_vulcan to work?

Submitted by dankcomputing on April 30, 2021 - 8:04pm

On the Drew ][ blog, there's a post about a utility for Linux called part_vulcan that can create a partition map for a Vulcan hard drive controller. I've tried to mirror what was done to run the utility in the blog post as closely as possible. I used what I'm reasonably sure is the the same Linux Live CD, compiled the program and ran it on several CF cards.

Looking for good dump of the Apple II Rev. C SCSI Card PALs

Submitted by dankcomputing on April 30, 2021 - 7:35pm

I have here an Apple IIGS that I've been trying to fix up for a friend. The SCSI card is busted, it basically acts like it isn't even plugged in. I was able to borrow another (Rev. C) SCSI card, and that works with the existing hard drive setup.By exchanging parts between the good card and the bad card, I've been able to verify that the problem with the bad card is that it's PALs are defective. All other chips and the ROM are OK. The card works with PALs from a known-good card. The problem is, the working PALs are read-protected!

Hi!

I just published this video about an Apple J-Plus restoration:

Not an easy task since there were a lot of faulty chips including ram.

 

I hope You'll enjoy it.

Thanks

Luca
