Help Diagnosing Language Card.

I have a "Promethius Products Inc" language card that all of a sudden stopped working.

My first indication that it wasn't working was when booting to the System Master the system locked up when loading integer basic to the language card.

The only memory test I have is in LocakSmith 6.0, and while it rocognized a 16k card exists in slot 0, the memory test shows all errors.

Looking for Apple Pascal Profile Manager Manual

I've been Google searching for the Pascal Profile Manager Manual. It looks like it was part of the Profile hard disk accessory kit. I've been able to find the Pascal Profile Manager disk images and the PROFILE Owner's Manual, but cannot find a copy of the Pascal Profile Manager manual. Anyone have a copy or know where to get it?

cc65 users: Fields

Hi!  A long time ago, I created a library for cc65 called Fields.  It provides code to provide some UI support to cc65 programs, including dialog box-like data entry and menus.  It currently supports the C64, Plus4, C128 and Apple2enh targets.  It may also support the Atari 8-bit consoles, but such support is untested.  :(  You can find it at c65 additions - Manage /ui at SourceForge.net.  Try it out!

Just lost "BLUE" on my Apple IIgs monitor a2m6014

I was adjusting a bad picture on an Apple IIgs monitor model a2m6014 and my ground clip (aligator clip) slipped off and shorted near the R6B8 resistor on the neckboard. I still have video but I have lost all blue. I dont have a schematic. Can anyone tell me how to proceed. I am leaning to Q6B2 as the culprit.

Floppy EMU stuck at Track 00

Hello.  I'm new here and recently got an Apple II+.

 

I also picked up a Floppy Emu by Big Mess Of Wires.  The device was working great, until this morning.  Now it just sits there at track 00, trying to read, but never advancing.

Any ideas?

Monitor problem

I have an Apple monitor I picked up a few years ago.  Unfortunately, it did not do too well in shipping, so it arrived with a few broken plastic pieces, and the video looks like the photograph.

It can't be fixed through any of the four external knobs - it seems like some kind of horizontal hold problem.  Any suggestions for internal adjustments or components I can check?

Duodrive not letting some floppies be inserted - weird mechanical problem

I’ve got an Apple II with a duodrive, and I can’t get a recently purchases system floppy to slide into the master drive.  The problem is mechanical and only affects the master drive, not the slave drive.  Sadly, though I can get the system floppy into the slave drive, as far as I can tell, you can’t boot the machine off the slave drive.

Murder Party Decoded!

I've finally completed my write-up about my exploration of Electronic Arts' Make Your Own Murder Party data disk, as well as an explanation of how the data is decoded by the software. The complete decoded text, my explanation of how it all works, as well as the program I wrote to decode the data can be downloaded here:

(By the way, I'll update the other thread about the Murder Party printing issue sometime soon.)

 

Here's a brief synopsis of my observations and decoding tutorial:

Apple Independent Developer conference(s)? 1983

Hey all,

 

A neat letter showed up in a pile of Apple II docs I was sorting. It's is a letter thanking someone for having attended the independent developer conference in April 1983.

 

I looked into the conference just out of sheer curiosity, and found several references to a 1983 independent developer conference, but, that one happened in August 1983, several months after this letter. I can find no refernece to a conference earlier in the year. 

 

If someone wants me to scan the whole thing let me know and I'll pop it out of the frame I have it in.
