Questions for selling some hardware

Submitted by Zan8675 on October 9, 2013 - 8:51pm

Hey, new to the board though I have been lurking for some time now. Decided recently to break out the old Apple II hardware and see what I wanted to keep and wanted to sell. After reading threads on this site over time I figured here would be a good place to start asking questions. All the machines are mine (at least the several I am considering selling) and were bought new. My first question is about an original Apple II. Wanted your opinions on if anything looks out of place.

My Apple IIe

Submitted by blackswan on October 9, 2013 - 12:12am

Hello everyone,

yesterday I received my Apple IIe. Unfortunately the monitor got broken and shows a large hole in the side. I'm trying to clarify this with the eBay dealer. Nevertheless the Apple IIe is in a normal condition. This machine is from 1984 as I could see when I opened the case. The marker writings on the case will be easily removeable with isopropyl alcohol.

Is this rare, and does anybody know anything about it?

Submitted by transwarp II guy on October 8, 2013 - 2:30am

It's a " MicroStar II " cover on an apple ii plus. I've been around Apple's for a while and I have NEVER seen this before.

It's a Memory Lighting Control panel apparently. So I have a basic idea of what it does, I was just curious if any one owns a complete set up, and if anyone knows the history of this thing?

Is it possible to run gs os on an original II or II plus

Submitted by megadrive4511 on October 7, 2013 - 5:01pm

I am wondering if it is possible to run gs os on an apple II or II plus. I am aware of the expansion for the II e but could you do it on an old II.

Is it a II, or a II Plus?

Submitted by gsmcten on October 6, 2013 - 6:37pm

This item just came up for auction on eBay...

My question is this:

It has an 8030 Motherboard, looks to be a Rev 7.
Could it be a II Plus with a II Lid?

Corrupt Hardcore/Computist DVD on asimov ?

Submitted by Keatah on October 6, 2013 - 7:33am

While looking through the Hardcore Computing/Computist archive on Asimov, I noted that you can't read issues 65 through 92 in the pdf folder.

From Asimov:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.com/pub/apple_II/documentation/magazines/misc/Computist.iso.zip

Inside the .iso image:
\pdfs\hardcore.computist

Issues 65 through 91 are corrupt.

The corrupted issues can be found here:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.com/pub/apple_II/documentation/magazines/hardcore_computist/

And #90 and #91? Whatever happened to those?

Problem booting UCSD Pascal from CFFA3000

Submitted by dramsey on October 5, 2013 - 6:56pm

Finally got my CFFA3000 and am having serious fun. But there is one problem: it doesn't seem to want to boot my UCSD Pascal disk images, freshly made from the boot and work disks I use.

I first tried with the CFAA in Slot 5, which resulted in the message "MUST BOOT FROM SLOT 6". Oh, yeah...that sounds like something I remember from 30 years ago.

So I move the card to Slot 6. But when I boot, it instantly crashes into the monitor if I try to boot from my Pascal disk.

I know the card supports this, so what am I doing wrong?
