A2M2010P monitor screws

Submitted by rogerxy on October 15, 2021 - 2:09pm

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help me identifying the two different kind of screws holding the plastic case on an A2M2010P monitor. (2 in the upper back and 4 under it, so two different kinds of screws).

If you have the correct specs or could unscrew and measure from your own monitor. As it is now the screws are misplaced and it's not possible to assemble the monitor.

Since I'm in Europe, my ability to test different imperial screws are quite limited, so getting the correct specs would help a ton.

Thanks in advance!

Another source for old cables

Submitted by gottj on October 14, 2021 - 6:59pm

Today I visited a place in Riverside, California that I hadn't been in since the 1980's. The place is called Electronics Warehouse, and their website is https://www.electronicswarehouse.net/

 

They have old parallel, DB9, DB25, floppy drive (PC), and many other types of cables for great prices. So if you can't find a good source for old cables, try this places.

Internal drive issue?

Submitted by retrocatgaming on October 11, 2021 - 9:10pm

Tried using Apple II system utilities on my Apple IIc to create a copy of DOS 3.3 onto another disk (I'm using the internal disk drive) but I can only seem to copy programs over manually one at a time from the DOS 3.3 disk to new disk, which is fine I guess, the issue is when I try to use the system utilities disk to copy the entire DOS 3.3 disk to another blank disk. It only creates disk volume 001 with a file named XXX on the new disk.

Two Drive Dilemma

Submitted by Gumdoc on October 9, 2021 - 5:20pm

Hi all,

 

Posted this on Reddit but it seems to be a head scratcher, so was wondering if anyone could help me troubleshoot.

Purchased a IIGS system with both 3.5" and 5.25" drives. Seller tested and showed both drives as working.

5.25 Drive Diagnostics

Submitted by Paul19804 on October 8, 2021 - 12:09pm
Anyone know where I can obtain the diagnostic floppies, 077-0324 and 077-325, for the 5.25 disk drive (A9M0107)?
They are "not bootable" and "not copyable" according to the Service manual.
I have a couple 5.25 drives that just spin and spin and spin ... on boot.
Thanks!
Paul

Seasonic II+ clone PSU negative voltages problem.

Hi. Yes, this is my first post. I mostly joined because searches for various things I want to know tend to bring me back to here.

I've started a project to bring as many of my old machines back and make them healthy as possible. Oddly, most of my ailing ones are Apple.

GSOS Shrinkit NDA? other questions

Submitted by mkinn on October 7, 2021 - 11:23pm

GShrink works, but is there an NDA that lets you unshrink directly from the Finder? or a Finder replacement NDA that handles shrink or other compressed files?

Also, wondering how the IIGS numbers drives. I wanted to use a 32Mb Prodos image as the Fonts directory, using Sheppy's FontRedir Utility, but it keeps searching for a 3.5" floppy and endlessly asking me to insert DEV2 after I changed the *:SYSTEM:Fonts setting to DEV2:FONTSDISKII.

French Apple Clone "VELA" - Dump Roms

Submitted by jeff34 on October 6, 2021 - 4:13am

I have a French Clone Apple II (VELA) and I want to duplicate the ROMs.

There are 3 ROMS: ROM 1 and 2 are 2332 and ROM3 is a 2716. With the t56 xgecu programmer, I was able to read the ROM3 (2716) but could not read 2332 ROMs even converting them to 2732. So I'm looking for another method under the Apple monitor to copy them. I found this:

CALL-151

4100<C100.FFFFM

BSAVE NAMETOSAVE,A$4100,L$3F00 ==> where is this saved?

 

But that doesn't work ... does anyone have an idea? Thank you.

Hi All,

 

This one driving me a bit crazy. I have the GS version of the MicroDrive Turbo. I have 4 volumes on there, 3 that came with the card, one I created. The first is PRODOS and utilities, the 2nd is a GS/OS volume, 3rd is Total Replay, and the 4th I've created both a GS/OS 6.01 and 6.04 volume.
