Bad Unidisk 5.25 analog board.

I have a rev 2 unidisk analog board (it's actually out of an Apple Drive 5.25, but I guess they used the same board as the later-rev unidisk).

 

The disk head won't move.  I replaced the board with the same rev board out of an actual Unidisk to fix the problem, but now I want to try to fix this one, as there's nothing wrong with the mechanism of the Unidisk that I stole the working board from.  The enclosure is just really yellowed.

Looking for an early ventless Apple II Rev 0...

Does anyone know of someone or have a very early Apple II Rev 0 in good shape with the ventless case? I'd be willing to pay a record price for one. Please let me know if anyone has one for sale or knows of someone who has one. Email is nberger0524@gmail.com. I already own an Apple-1 and a few Apple II Rev 0s (normal condition but not ventless).

 

Thanks!

Trouble with the GGLabs RAMGS/8 in ROM3 machine.

So I just got a new haul of IIgs loot, and put my ROM3 board in a case.

 

I pulled the 8Mb RAMGS out of my ROM1 box and installed it in the ROM3.  System became very unstable.  Once had a "bad input queue" error (I don't remember the numerical code off the top of my head, but that's what google said it was), but the rest of the time it was screen garbage and lockups like you expect from bad memory.

X-Server for GS/OS?

Was there ever an X-Server for GS/OS?  I don't mean for some kind of local unixy thing like we'd do with cygwin these days, just something for opening old-school remote X sessions from unix boxen over a tcp network.  My web searches are full of Mac stuff, heh.

14 Mb IIgs?

I see that some of the IIgs emulators have a 14Mb option, and one of the ROM switcher cards has an option for a ROM that supports 14Mb of RAM.

 

However, my understanding is that, due to the way the address decoding circuitry is designed, the unmodified GS hardware can really only address 8Mb.

 

Has anyone done any hardware hacks that allow proper decoding of the full address space and 14 Mb of actual physical RAM, with the patched ROM?  I would assume that it would have to be some kind of CPU socket plugin thing.....
