Apple Monitor III leaving trails behind moving pixels

Submitted by apple2ee on November 10, 2012 - 3:03am

Hi, my Apple Monitor III is leaving green trails behind moving images even on the lowest and dimmest settings. Lots of slow fade on text too. I don't remember this happening when it was new but I could be wrong. Does this mean the monitor is failing? If so, what do you suggest? Are there repair services available or should I try to buy another one on Ebay? Thanks.

II GS Battery Replacement

Submitted by k4lmp on October 30, 2012 - 1:40pm

I have a ROM0 GS, that has the original battery inside that hasn't leaked (yet). I would like to replace it, but was thinking about cutting the leads close to the battery, soldering wires to the exterior of the unit, and maybe putting a battery holder outside for quick replacement. Can you use, say 3 NiCads as a replacement, which would be 3.6v? That way they could be charged every so often, and replaced. Does the GS charge the battery when the power is on?

Modem for an Apple IIgs

Submitted by daveculp on October 17, 2012 - 10:51am

I was wondering about modems though. There are still a few live phone BBS's out there and so I would like to get a modem for the IIgs. Correct me if I am wrong as I dont know much about Apple II's yet. The Apple IIgs has a rear serial port so instead of looking for a (rare it seems) internal Apple II modem, cant I just get an external serial modem and a proper cable and use that?

Seeking info for Hollywood Hardware ROM card

Submitted by macnoyd on October 16, 2012 - 4:58pm

Just acquired a Hollywood Hardware ROM card (almost) full of ROMS and I'm looking for anyone that has info about the card. It came with literally nothing but the EPROMS that are on it. If someone out there has one and is looking for a copy of the EPROMS, I'm happy share those too. Just want to get it working. Thanks in advance
