Has anyone used a Sequential Systems SecondSight on an Apple IIe?

Submitted by robbo007 on September 6, 2012 - 7:32am

Hi there,
Has anyone got or used a Sequential Systems SecondSight on an Apple IIe and a VGA monitor? In the manual it says the following modes are not compatible:

Double Hi-Res
Double Low-res

Just wondering if many programs or games use these resolutions? What are your thoughts or comments?

Thanks,
Rob

Apple IIe enhancement kit questions

Submitted by robbo007 on September 4, 2012 - 9:36am

Hi there,
I located the US enhancement kit for my Apple IIe PAL and it seems the video ROM is a lot smaller than the PAL version. It does not fit my socket???

The US video rom is listed as: 342-0265-A on the http://www.reactivemicro.com website but in the Official Apple IIe document its referred to the character ROM and the PAL german video ROM is listed as: 342-0275.

No buffers available (repost)

Submitted by Snowyfox on August 28, 2012 - 2:34pm

Sorry about the two previous posts. They both send no data (for some reason) and thus cannot be viewed.

Anyways, I am making a program here called Grapedesk. It was supposed to be a surprise final version (1.2), but because this error exists, I am forced to reveal it early.

Disk II drive problems

Submitted by Atomtan on August 28, 2012 - 12:13pm

I am trying to repair 2 x disk II drives where they pass the speed tests I run on them (hooked up as the second drive) but they don't seem to even register when I do an allignment test (or other drive tests I have disks for).

Before condemning the circuitry, and having spent quite some time studying the mechanics of the ones I am trying to fix, I note the two 'stainless' bars on which the stepper motor adjusts the position of the head have a little corrosion on them and the movement of the unit along them is not smooth and in some places faces resistance.

Store Demo Software?

Submitted by Atomtan on August 22, 2012 - 12:21pm

I have searched around the net to see if there was ever 'store demo software' available which the Apple retailers would have used, maybe some sort of rolling demo, but have found nothing (so far). My reason for asking is that if such a thing existed, it would look great running on the II+ I have sat behind my desk at work! I am sure with time and effort it would be possible to try and put something together myself, I was just looking for an easy period solution.

Apple IIe keyboard or key caps wanted!!

Submitted by robbo007 on August 19, 2012 - 10:54am

I'm looking for an Apple IIe keyboard or the keycaps off the keyboard. I have a German Apple IIe PAL version and want to change the key caps on the keyboard to match the USA version. The QWERTZ keyboard is doing my head in.

I'd be happy even just replacing the Z and Y key caps if possible.
Cheers,
Rob

Apple IIe Enhancement upgrade kit question

Submitted by robbo007 on August 19, 2012 - 10:51am

Hello all,
I have a German Apple IIe PAL and was wondering if the USA Enhanced upgrade kit would work in it?

ENHANCED IIe and the Video ROM is 342-0265, CD is 342-0304 and EF is 342-0303. Processor is 65SC02P-2

I see that the Video ROM is different to the Germany one. Will it still work? I'm not fussed about German language support as I run it in English mode.

Cheers,
Rob
