Apple 5.25 Disk controller card

Submitted by martin72 on January 8, 2021 - 4:18pm

Hi, I have two of these cards that don't work well. When I place one of them in the Apple IIe I get only vertical blocks at the screen and the keyboard doesn' t respond. With the other the Apple IIe starts up but the duo drive does nothing.  The duo drive is ok because with another Apple IIe it is working well. My question: where can I find the documentation (schematics etc) of this controller card (655-0101) or can someone help me with a servicemanual or schematic?

GS-OS 6.0.4 Weird sound problem

Submitted by Verault on January 8, 2021 - 3:57pm

So for some reason the SOUND icon under control panel is not showing up anymore when I open the control panel from GSOS. If I navigate to the System folder, then CDevs, I can find the SOUND module there. If I run it from the CDevs folder it opens... but when I pick any event to choose a sound for, it will say "not assigned" and when I try to choose one to populate it with it will give me a blank menu with no choices. How do I fix this? its weird and annoying. I tried reinstalling the sound module from the install disk, this didnt fix it.

Lower case for pre Rev 7 motherboards

Submitted by DeanClaxton on January 8, 2021 - 12:05am

Hi all,

 

just letting you know that if you wanted lower case on a pre-rev 7 motherboard, ROMX 2513 is ready! The same 16 fonts are available as per the ROMX  2316B.

 

Blog here : https://theromexchange.com/blog/8th-january-2021

 

Caveat - you'll need a ROMX module to go with it :)

 

Cheers,

Dean

SilenType no LF

Submitted by Timelord on January 6, 2021 - 8:03am

When testing my SilenType, it has no line feed. Before I dig into this, if the motor is dead, is that part available at all?

 

Mine is an early unit, around serial 4000. I am going to try it with a second interface card before testing the motor in any other way. The old Apple Service docs are pretty vague on this topic, but I know that the rollers work, so it must be the motor, the internal controller interfsce to the motor, or the main controller card--this last one happens to be on the Apple Service list of possible defects for no LF, so don't laugh.

Thoughts on wDrive versus Floppy Emu?

Submitted by djc6 on January 3, 2021 - 2:04pm

I have an Apple IIGS with only a 3.5" drive and a BOOTI card. Looking for a solution for primarily 5.25" disk images, but also 3.5" disk images.  What are people's thoughts on both units? Some Pros/Cons I've come across:

Echo II Clone

Submitted by necron9x11 on January 2, 2021 - 5:51am

Hi y'all -

 

Back when I was a kid my first computer was an Apple II+ and I had an Echo II speech card for it. Somewhere along the way I picked up a IIe and traded away the II+. Thought I had kept the Echo II but when I dug the IIe out of my parents garage on a recent visit just before the pandemic hit I could not find it so seems not. 

Being a bit of a hardware hacker, and I been lurking here a long time so I know there are plenty of y'all who are way more knowledgable than I, I got it in my head I should try and make my own Echo II clone.

Anyone ever create Apple Fortran diskettes from images?

Submitted by old_hitech on January 2, 2021 - 4:13am

I have been working with Apple Fortran on the Virtual II emulator using Apple Fortran disk images from ftp.apple.asimov, FORT1.DSK and FORT2.NIB. On Vitrual II I can edit source files and complile them with no problems. I wanted to do the same on my actual Apple II Plus and tried to make actual FORT1 and FORT2 diskettes using my FloppyEmu.

Boot Message Text

Submitted by 8BitHeaven on January 2, 2021 - 12:08am

Does anybody know off hand where the boot message text lives.  That is where is the APPLE ][ or Apple //e or ACE 1000 vx.x message text stored.   I'm thinking about getting a ROM-X and mulling over some ideas. As I recall it was clear text ASCII in the ][ Plus but was mildly encrypted in the //e so copyright infringement was easier to detect after the Franklin court ruling. I wonder if the Laser 128 was the same or if it moved in the "clean room" ROM?
