Looking for DOS Tool Kit Manual

Submitted by cjs on March 4, 2020 - 10:41pm

I'm looking for a scan of the manual for the original (v1.0, 1980) DOS Tool Kit (not the later ProDOS version). This is the package that also included HRCG, the High-res Character Generator software.

 

I've done a web search, but can't find it anywhere. Anybody have a scan of this or an original that they're willing to scan?

Clear Caes for Apple IIe & IIgs

Submitted by lpp71 on March 1, 2020 - 6:48pm

The project for clear cases for the Apple II & II Plus failed to reach the goal.  But an attempt to give one last chance to the Apple II line means a new Kickstarter.  This Kickstarter will allow for clear (and glow in the dark) cases for the Apple IIe (both early versions but not platinum).  A IIe to IIgs conversion kit complete with stamped base plate, connectors, and badges is also a reward.  In order to reach the goal on this project we need to spread the word as much as possible.

Reviving one of these Apple II or II+ boards

Submitted by Ameobob on February 29, 2020 - 9:43pm

I've got an Apple II that I'd like to get working again, and an Apple II+ that is in pretty poor condidion that also would be cool to get working again. I don't trust the II+ board as several of the RAM chips had legs that corroded away and one of the 74 series chip sockets had a corroded away contact as well. All pins on both sets of ROMs (One set of Integer and one set of Applesoft) are intact however, yet neither set will boot past assembly in the II.

5mb Profile

Submitted by inzgary on February 27, 2020 - 11:50am

Hi, does anybody know if the 5MB profile drive is compatible with the Apple II? I know the 10MB drive is and I see 10MB controller cards on ebay but never 5MB cards. Could you use the 10MB card with the 5MB drive?

Apple IIe USA Motherboard in Apple IIe Pal case+Powersupply

Submitted by robbo007 on February 25, 2020 - 7:21am

Hi all,

Is it possible to use a USA Apple IIe motherboard with a Apple IIe Pal Powersupply and case?  I gather all apple powersupplies step down the voltage to something less than the 240V (in the PAL version) or the 110v ( in the US) versions right?

 

I'm thinking aobut replacing my Apple iie pal board thats blown with a USA one off ebay.

 

Thanks,

Rob

Trio-Disc

Just an assembly of assorted parts into a coherent unit for my CloneE.  Switch selectable boot device either floppy, or floppulator. Plus  a second drive mounted like a duodisc.

 

Switcheroo the device select, lets you hook two items to one Disk II channel and switches the device select

Apple II Disk Drive After Reset

Submitted by gobblebit on February 20, 2020 - 6:37am

I've been tinkering around with an Apple II emulator after writing an NES one (they share 6502 processors) and have it reading disk images, displaying graphics, and generally playing whatever games or software I throw at it. One difference I can't explain however has to do with the boot-up sequence and how it interacts with its disk drives.
