May have an EDD+ and //gs 1Mb memory card to trade.

Submitted by Lee Adamson on September 16, 2019 - 9:21pm

Howdy folks.  I obtained my //gs motherboard and power supply today, both of which thankfully work.

 

It also came with a beat up case, a fully populated Apple 1Mb memory expansion card (which I don't need because I have a RAMGS/8 for it, and is probably worthless), and an Essential Data Duplicator Plus card, revision B.

IIe female power connector part number?

Submitted by Lee Adamson on September 14, 2019 - 1:45pm

Does anyone know the part number (or generally what I need to look for at an electronics supply store) for the female (motherboard-side) power connector for the IIe?  I'm looking to get one to solder into a ROM1 IIgs board that I'm putting in a IIe case.

 

Thanks!  :D

IIc with different command prompt?

Submitted by Statsman1 on September 12, 2019 - 10:41pm

Hey everyone!

 

I have 2 Apple IIc computers and they both seem to work just fine, but I have noticed one difference that I can't solve, and I can't seem to find an answer on the Internet.

One command prompt is a square close bracket:   ]

The other machine's command prompt is this F6 symbol:   §

 

One keyboard is the US version, and that one has the F6 prompt.  The other is a CAN version (with French characters on some of the keys), and that has the square bracket prompt.  Other than that, both machines seem identical.

Two issues

Submitted by Punkyclown on September 10, 2019 - 12:12pm

Hi All, Just enjoying my new (to me) IIgs.  Two quick questions, first I am running my System 6.0.4 off of a 3.5 drive. So How come when I change the color of my trash can it does not stay changed when every other icon does?  Second, I used "Flashboot" for a while and it gave me much more functionality, but was wonky.  But it did allow me to add items to my Apple Menu no problem. But with the System disk when I stick an item in the Desk'aces, folder they do not show up.  What file do I need to add the the system to make them active?The Help is much appreciated!Brad Hansen

Cross-compilation with CC65 for IIgs/65816?

Submitted by Lee Adamson on September 9, 2019 - 8:43pm

It looks like CC65's assembler supports the '816, but the C compiler does not?  Hmm.

 

Anyone ever mess with this?

 

Are there any other //gs cross compilers out there?  Doesn't look like WDCTools can target the IIgs.  Most of the '816 stuff I am finding is for the SNES.

 

I don't think I'm smart enough to patch cc65's compiler to emit proper '816 asm...

Aztec AA11040c PSU

Submitted by punyetta on September 9, 2019 - 4:51am

I have an Aztec AA11040C power supply in my Apple II+ which is not working. Measuring voltages show the -12v and -5v both OK but no +12V and +5V. Before I jump and do a full recap, I'd like to know if this needs any other component replacement. Anyone had similar experience, please share them.

solder-in internal //gs keyboard connector?

Submitted by Lee Adamson on September 8, 2019 - 7:12pm

Howdy, folks!

 

I have a line on a //gs motherboard, but it doesn't have the internal keyboard connector soldered in.  I intend to do a little creative dremeling and standoff moving on a //e enclosure and install it therein.

 

I have the appropriate pin-row connectors for the internal keyboard connector.  Is there anything stopping me from just soldering one in?  No ICs missing that are needed or anything?

 

Thanks! :D

Adding to the Control Panel

Submitted by Punkyclown on September 2, 2019 - 12:52pm

Hi All, Can someone explain how you add programs to the Control Panel?

Seems every System disk I put in has a different set of items in the Control Panel.

I would like to build a set that really works for me.

Appreciate the advise.

Hello,

I currently own an Apple //c with which I have issues and therefore have never been able to use it.
