Most Laughable yet -- 1978-Apple-II-Computer-Integer-BASIC-Steve-Jobs-and-Wozniak-Collector-Quality-

Submitted by IntegerROM on February 14, 2012 - 2:23pm

Here is the latest laughable ebay advert from 'danapplemacman'

It is for an "1978-Apple-II-Computer-Integer-BASIC-Steve-Jobs-and-Wozniak-Collector-Quality-"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/120860101174

So everyone study the text and all the photos, both in the advert and in the body of the text, and see how many school boy errors make this NOT A GENUINE 1978 machine...

I have spotted at least 9 errors:

[1] - Photo of 6502 processor shows it as a MOS with date code 2881 - 28th week 1981 - not 1978

Advise on a desoldering/rework station

Submitted by Corey986 on February 10, 2012 - 5:50am

Well I may have to make the plunge soon and I am starting my research.

Anyone here have a desoldering station or special tool (other than a simple sucker) that they world recommend.

I'm trying to keep the price below $125 bucks, need it to be able to work in tight places and not damage the board.

Do those "Chinese" bulky desoldering guns with the electric pump work? They are I think 90watts and about $80. Or should I be looking at a "station" where the pump is remote which cost more $$$$.

Diagnostics - Is it worth buying a cheap portable oscilloscope?

Submitted by Atomtan on February 9, 2012 - 7:31am

Maybe a little off topic, but I have been contemplating buying a cheap (<$150) portable oscilloscope to mess around trying to fix a pile (read 10 and growing) of Disk II drives I have accumulated which seem to have various curious problems (6 of them pass speed tests, but won't work properly). I have received alot of great advice in the past from people here to fix these, but I think to get under the skin of them, I will have a go with the Disk II trouble shooting guide and see what I can achieve following that through.

Living Videotext's ThinkTank

Submitted by MichaelLAX on February 1, 2012 - 4:40pm

I have just uploaded to Asimov: version 1.1 of ThinkTank and it's supplemental demo DATA disk.

This was an "Idea Processor" that ultimately found its way to early Macintosh's too!

I have the complete package, including the 228 page manual, but not the time to scan it.

IIc 9" monitor with American motherboard

Submitted by Mark Coppey on February 1, 2012 - 3:07am

Does swapping European to American IIc motherboard distort image on monochrome 9" monitor? With the old 02-European motherboard the view
is perfectly centered on the screen. With the American 03 motherboard output can't be centered.
