Apple II card and device question.

Submitted by Zijjel on May 12, 2021 - 9:51am

Hello all. I just got an Apple 2 europlus. I never had one. What I don't know is what the following card and device is. If you can help me I will appreciate it. The card is connected with one more mod card that is behind the keyboard. Cables goes to 3 sockets. Rom / ram / and keyboard socket .

The other device is a box socketed directly to game port socket.

 

I upload pictures in Dropbox. Sorry that I didn't use the media browser but I am from smartphone and it is very difficult.

Here are the photos:

IIe card ID

Submitted by Skippy8290 on May 11, 2021 - 6:07pm
I'm starting to thin out the herd a bit and have been going through some boxes of computer items and I found a card that was in slot 3 of my IIe when I purchased it and I never could figure out what exactly the card is for. I've tried looking around online and the most similar thing I could find to it was a disk controller card but I don't think that's what this is. A search of the info on the sticker didn't turn anything up either. Any ideas would be great.

Toolkit for Applesoft BASIC

Submitted by LoadError on May 11, 2021 - 4:46am

Hello everyone,

I'm an Apple IIc owner and I would like to port a little BASIC project to the Apple II platform (so far I've done Commodore 64, Commodore VIC-20, Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Sinclair ZX81 versions).

My goal is to work on Microsoft Windows, test the code in an emulator (AppleWin), and when ready, trasfer the program to a 5,25" floppy disk and to the actual hardware.

IIe Boots to System Diagnostic

Submitted by Roosa on May 10, 2021 - 2:03am

I have a IIe which always boots to the system diagnostic (garbage screen followed by "System OK"), no beep.  My understanding is that this is traditionally caused by either a bad keyboard connection or a stuck key.  However, I've tried:

IIgs WOZ Images

Submitted by nick3092 on May 4, 2021 - 8:54pm

Looks like someone is starting to image and share IIgs software in WOZ format. I reached out to the Floppy Emu author, as of now the 3.5" emulated drive can't use them. He said in theory it's possible. But he's currently focusing on another project. Hopefully now that the images are rolling out he will eventually support them. But for now, no go.

 

 

I'm not sure if wDrive has support for WOZ on 3.5. But given this is the first I'm seeing the images, I'd be surprised if it does.

Apple II Europlus numeric keypad

Submitted by Sid6.7 on May 2, 2021 - 5:35pm

Hello everyone.Today I found the numeric keypad for Apple II, II+, Europlus that you see in the picture.

I don't have any manuals so I ask you if any of you can explain to me, better if with photographs, how to connect it to my Apple II Europlus.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Help me identify this Expansion Board

Submitted by aaronkatrini on May 1, 2021 - 6:18am

Hi all,

 

I've recently received some retro expansion cards, most of them are for PCs (ISA), but I also have this, what I believe is, Apple II Expansion Card.

Here is a photo I took:

Has anyone been able to get part_vulcan to work?

Submitted by dankcomputing on April 30, 2021 - 8:04pm

On the Drew ][ blog, there's a post about a utility for Linux called part_vulcan that can create a partition map for a Vulcan hard drive controller. I've tried to mirror what was done to run the utility in the blog post as closely as possible. I used what I'm reasonably sure is the the same Linux Live CD, compiled the program and ran it on several CF cards.
