Repairing Liza Loops Apple ll PSU

Hey everyone,

 

So back in September, 2021 I was working for Liza Loop, and I was working on her Apple ll Rev. 4 Unit, and the whole rest of the computer works, EXCEPT for this PSU. I decided to fix it for her. But I need a schematic too see how it works, and I have been unable to locate a manual for schematic for this PSU. It appears to not be the mornally used PSU in the Apple ll Plus units as well as the later Apple lls...

 

Heres some photos of it.

Bolo - anyone know how to get it to work with joystick/controller?

I loved Bolo as a kid, and it runs in this linapple emulator, but it's not working with the XBox controller I have hooked up.  Every other game I have tried works fine with the controller, so I feel like it is configured correctly.  Anyone know how to get it to work?  I asked on Reddit and someone said you have to press Joystick button 0 to move, or 1 maybe.  But pushing the buttons does nothing when I try.  Is there some key you have to hit or something to put it in joystick mode?

 

Thanks!

Some questions - returning to Apple II after 40 years

Hello,  my friend gave me a super-cool tiny Apple II computer (3D printed and running on raspberry PI).  I learned programming on an Apple II back in 1983 or so.  I still had all my old disks, so I sent them to a guy who restored the data from them (they still worked I can't believe it!)

So I'm trying to poke around these things and have a couple of basic operation questions, can anyone help with these?

(The RetroPie running on the little machine uses the linapple emulator.  Not sure if that makes a difference)

All Open-Apple Podcasts are now ready to stream on a real Apple IIe/ gs.

Oliver Schmidt has prepared all Open-Apple Podcasts to stream them with his Apple II software A2Stream. 

This is fantastic, as we can now listen to Woz f.e. on any real Apple IIe/gs equiped with an Uthernet Card! Just this. There is no additonal sound card needed! Just a stream from the internet to the Apple II. 

The sound quality is awesome. The internal speaker of the Apple II can be used or the tape output to connect additional sound systems to the Apple.

Apple IIc Plus & Karateka

Hi there

I have three Apple IIc Plus machines, and while Karateka runs, the graphics in game is corrupt and unplayable. The sake disc plays on an Apple IIe Platinum. 

This happens across all three of the Apple IIc Plus that I have, so they can't all be fault.

I am guessing there is a version of Karateka that will work on the IIc plus or perhaps not.

Anyone else come across this with that game?

Other games I have tested work well.

 

Thank you.

 

Francesco

Maximum acceptable resistance in IIe key switch

I bought a supposedly tested and working numeric keypad for my IIe. And of course it's not fully working. Half the keys don't work. Opened it up to find that someone spilled coffee or coke in this thing 30+ years ago, and it never got cleaned up. I desoldered all the switches and started tracing out the PCB. Looks like I'm going to have to make 12 bodges.

#FujiNet for #Apple2 bring-up status report 2022-04-10

Youtube video

 

@jeffpiep has been hard at work getting the #Apple2 CONFIG program for #FujiNet in place, and it has reached a very usable state, already. I wanted to show a typical usage session loading disk images off the Internet. Enjoy.
