RIP Chuck Peddle: Father of the 6502

Submitted by MacFly on December 23, 2019 - 4:42pm

Sad news - only saw it now: Chuck Peddle, the "father" of the 6502 CPU, has died:

https://wdc65xx.com/in-memoriam-of-chuck-peddle/

 

With his idea to create an "ultra-low-cost" 8-bit CPU (for only $25), creating a whole new market for personal/low-cost computers and the business of mass-producing CPUs, he has certainly permanently changed the world - for the better!

 

So, switch on your Apple //s (and ///s) and make "his" 6502 spin for a few extra cycles in his memory!

 

RIP

Graphic printing with printshop and okidata problem

Submitted by NovellNetware on December 22, 2019 - 11:30pm

Configuration:

Apple II+

Orange Graphler Plus

Okidata ML 82A

 

1. So I didn't think any of the dip switches got change on the printer card or printer.

2. I was able to print from Apple write just fine. So I have decided to do something I have never done before on a apple II plus.

3. Print shop and graphics.

4. Test printing. First only printed Welco. Then I tried another disk image and it printed welcome to printshop.

5. Problem All the lines are spaced like auto LF is on after CR.

Apple IIc Plus video problem

Submitted by phoenix1031 on December 21, 2019 - 9:34am

Hello, I recently got this apple IIc Plus. When I turn it on, the screen shows characters in red/blue color instead of white.

It sometimes shows white characters, but after a few seconds, it switches back.

How can I fix this? Please help me.

Strange formating / adtpro issue.

Submitted by NovellNetware on December 16, 2019 - 9:40pm

I don't know if I have a bad drive or disk to old or what.

 

So when I got the apple back in July it would not boot off of any disks. After a cleaning. It stated working like a champ. So I used the same disks over and over again and then they stopped working. These disks you could see now was worn out with groves it in. No problem vintage 1980's disks. So I decide to grab some more disks. A good old original disk would boot just fine. A true blue apple disk.

Just picked this up. Hopefully it is all good.

Submitted by NovellNetware on December 11, 2019 - 11:22pm

I hope this is legit auction. I just picked this up tonight on e-bay. I'll give everybody the 411 for it. The plan is Take the disk drive, time clock (yes I see the leaky batteries), keyboard, joystick, ram factor and if good the system saver maybe. The cards I don't need is the 16k expansion card, the 80 column card, On a side note for the keyboard. I don't really need it. Just a working one for my apple ii. So anyway. I'll be selling the extra parts to recoup the money. Normally. I can offer it as it not powered on, I can test it and I can do all three.
