Need Appli-card suggestions, please

Submitted by gottj on September 11, 2020 - 1:26pm

Hello, I purchased a Appli-card from a seller on eBay recently. The card is being shipped as of this post. In preparation for the arrival of the card, I have downloaded the Appli-card documentation, and several disk images related to CP/M for the Appli-card. One of the disk images (pcpi20_cpm 22_disk.dsk) can not be read by CiderPress. The accompanying "Utility Disk" image can be read. I'm hoping this will not be an issue when I copy the file to my MicroDrive compact flash card, and then make a floppy from that image.

floppy emu, Apple IIc rom3, and booting 5.25 images

Submitted by burpees_and_beer on September 10, 2020 - 5:38pm

New user here. Did some homework on Apple slots/drives and I know drive booting is complicated.

I have a IIc with 3.5" UniDisk. ROM is "3" and I successfully booted off the 3.5" media (Appleworks). I only have this one bootable floppy, and zero 5.25 floppies. To remedy, I bought the Floppy Emu kit, with IIc drive switcher. :-) 

 

My #1 Goal is to boot off 5.25 disk images. I'm not able to get this to work in any combination I've tried.

Apple IIe DynaComp 606-5001 PSU 120V to 230V?

Submitted by body_Infinity on September 9, 2020 - 11:03pm

Hi guys, has anyone been able to convert the earlier DynaComp  606-5001 PSU to 230 volt? Ive converted the later models successfully few years ago but have a couple of these sitting in my parts box waiting for some love. Have opened one up and all the caps / switches etc are rated at 250volt on the input side but have not been able to locate a schematic on this model to investigate further.

Any help/tips appreciated.

Apple IIc Repeating Space Character

Submitted by dhoggan on September 8, 2020 - 8:36am

Hi,

I've seen a few articles on keyboard issues on the IIc but none that match the issue that I'm experiencing. 

 

I have a IIc in good condition. Upon power up I get the usual "Check disk drive" message or, if a disk is in the drive, the disk loads. It is a UK model ROM 255 variant, so not the Alps keyboard.

Dual Video Output Device?

Submitted by mutant_pie on September 5, 2020 - 12:20pm

I was wondering if anybody ever produced a second video out device for the Apple ][ line.  By this I mean a device that put out graphics, mapping a different memory segment than the ones typically used for HGR and DHGR graphics.

DuoDisk -107 analog board repair, plus general questions about FDD functionality

Submitted by zorn on September 3, 2020 - 1:58pm

Hi all!

So I have a DuoDisk that was on the fritz that, through a comedy of repair mishaps, is nonfunctional at this point. I'm waiting on parts and I'm pretty sure I can fix it, but I've got some questions that I've not been able to answer through googling.

Apple Clear Light Superstar, found one... whats the deal?

Submitted by RedSox88 on September 1, 2020 - 4:49pm

I was cleaning out my Dad's A/V equiptment closet last weekend and found an Apple Clear Light Superstar w/ 2 disc drives. My mom says she remembers him using it for some sort of automated light shows in the mid 1980's, but she thought it was long gone. It was in a box some some other old apple joysticks and random cabling. 

 

I did some quick Googling and it seems like these are pretty rare... only 1 ebay auction in the past decade, only a few mentions on some OLD websites...

How rare are these? How much is it worth?
