Non Apple modulator into Europlus?

Hi Guys,

Can anyone point me to a schematic for an Apple Europlus showing the RF modulator in circuit? I want to try and use a PAL RF modulator out of one of my 'robbed for spares' Atari STe's and fit it to the Apple. I have many diagrams but none show the modulator.

Thanks,

Richard.

Oh, by the way... I'm sure someone will tell me if this can't be done!

'snake' game on Apple II

When I was in primary school in the 80's, we had Apple IIe's and Apple IIc's and I spent many hours during recess and lunch hours playing games and typing in basic programs from books. I recall a game where you were a line moving down the screen and could move left and right and had to dodge obstacles. It was a text mode game and the obstacles were '*' characters that scrolled up from the bottom of the screen. From what I remember the game was called snake and was only a few lines long when you listed it.

I have been trying to find this game to replay it in an emulator but any references to games called snake are usually to those sorta tron-style games where you move up, down, left, right eating dots and getting longer each time, but this is not the game I remember.

Just wondering if anybody else remembers this game and can shed some light and maybe even show me where I could get a copy.

RIP Steve Jobs

I'm sure everyone has heard by now that Steve Jobs died yesterday from Pancreatic Cancer. Not a good way to go. He was only 3 years older than I am. I wonder how things might have gone with Apple if Jobs hadn't hated the Apple II computer so much? Would those of us now using Macs possibly be using an 32 or 64 bit descendant of the Apple II line that might have built in backward compatibility to our original beloved II?

The other question now is how will Apple do without Jobs Reality Distortion Field affecting how people see Apple?

Graphics resolution issue?

Hi to all,

The game Maniac Mansion was mentioned in a retro conversation so I created the two disks for my IIe.

It boots ok (after a while?) but the opening page is not displaying correctly. The pixels seem very oversized making the screen illegible and the top line text is 'chunky' and the letters blend together.

Are there issues relating to different graphics ROMS or any other hardware in the IIe.

I remember the early PC games took a lot of running to to Graphics card problems.

Thanks Chaps,

Richard

IIe or not IIe, that is the question!

Sorry about the title chaps, couldn't resist it!

The question is valid though, I have two IIe machines but only one of them will run ProDOS. The other states it will only run on an 'enhanced IIe'. I read that the 'e' referred to the enhanced model but ProDOS is looking for an enhanced enhanced computer!

What are the essential differences between these and is it possible to upgrade one to the other (by way of ROM replacement) or am I looking at a motherboard swap?

Cheers,

Richard.

Hollister Microsystems Eprom Board

Hi to all,

I think I need some software? I have a Hollister Microsystems Eprom card model no: HMS 3264. It has three eprom slots and will burn 2716, 2732 and 2764/2712B. The card is dated 1982.

Does anyone have the necessary software to drive it?

Thanks,

Richard
