Help identifying an Apple ][

Submitted by fabianmossberg on October 25, 2020 - 11:46am

I have tried to understand what model of Apple ][ this is. I asked in some groups on FB and i got a lot of people saying it's definitley a ][+ and equally many saying its definitley a ][.

How to tell?

Apple /// Serial card weirdness

Submitted by Verault on October 24, 2020 - 4:46pm
What can you guys tell me about these Apple /// 820-0071-D (670-0129) Serial Cards? I have 3 of them and they puzzle me, especially with that giant pushbutton. I cant find any documentation about them. Are they identical to the RS-232 port on the main board but a secondary device? Need info please!

Keyboard Controller failure! Where do I get one?!

Submitted by Verault on October 22, 2020 - 5:57pm

So I was fixing my last broken Apple /// System and after the Ram board was ironed out I realized the Keyboard was acting flakey. Turns out the Keyboard Controller 341-0035 at location H-14 was faulty. I swapped in a working chip from another Apple /// and it tested fine so I know the IC is dead. Here is the thing though, the Chip in the socket that is faulty (70% of the keys pressed come out wrong) is a KR3600-085 and is not labeled 341-0035 like my working chip. Isnt the KR3600 the same controller in the Apple II plus?

Apple 5.25 Floppy Drive Test Image/Disk

Submitted by nick3092 on October 21, 2020 - 5:27pm

I acquired a floppy called "Apple 5.25 Drive Test Reference Disk" (part number 077-0325) and it says the disk is not copyable.  So I assumed it was a specially created/formatted disk like the Datalife Analyzer disk/program for checking alignments.  But it turns out I was only half right.  It is a specially formatted floppy to test alignment.  But it has no software on it and requires a separate program disk named "Apple 5.25 Drive Test 1.0" (part number 077-0324).  A quick Google search and a scan of Asimov don't seem to yield any images for the program disk.  Does anyone by chance know if

Apple //e + Prodos 8 = Headache

Submitted by K14 on October 19, 2020 - 4:16pm

I purchased a Uthernet card in hope of browsing the interweb on my unenhanced //e. Using my old ipod I loaded Contiki 2.7 onto 5.25 disks using the cassesste tape port. Booting up the disk Prodos 8 tries to load and complains that it requires an enhanced Apple //e or better to run.

Any other options I can try? Seems that Contiki bundles prodos 8 with their sofware?

 

Cheers!

Apple ][ plus Rev04 Restoration

Submitted by PTB on October 17, 2020 - 8:28pm

So this is the old Apple ][ from my younger years. Found it stashed away under house at my Parents.

I reckon its been hidden there for about 30 years. Am trying to resurrect it as a project and Nostalgia trip. I've already had some great advice here on the forum regarding the power supply.

Apple IIe, internal diagnostic OK, no sound from speaker

Submitted by tabaglio on October 17, 2020 - 11:59am

Greetings everyone!

I've been a lurker for a long time, but I've got an Apple IIe board here that made me decide it was time to create an account and ask for the help of the experts.Before getting to the current issue I'm facing, the short story of this board:What I have here is an 820-0064-B that came from with a lot of various other discarded computer motherboards from an ham radio fair, and that was probably 10 years ago.It sat forgotten in my storage room until I had to move a few months ago, when I "rediscovered" it in a box, wrapped in an antistatic bag.

ADTPro - how the @#$% does this work?!?

Submitted by dafivehole on October 17, 2020 - 10:50am

Forgive me because I'm a PC guy but I can get this to work... I'm using Windows XP (I know, it's an older computer) with Java 7 installed.  The instructions on the ADT page suck... I download the software but nothing will load.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

 

UPDATE: I DL'd an older version of ADTPro and it worked just fine

Apple IIe keyboard

Submitted by mvendert on October 16, 2020 - 12:16pm

In the beginning of the eighties I owned an Apple II computer. I sold this a few years later. And now I recently bought an Apple IIe.

 

The computer has a stange keyboard though.  I never saw an Apple IIe with a compbined keyboard  QWERTY/AZERTY, switchable with a tiny switch on the below side of the keybaord on the beveled side.

It's design and the keyboard print does suggest it's been so from the factory. But is it?
