Apple II / II Plus Clear Case Project

Submitted by lpp71 on August 31, 2019 - 8:26pm

 

We've worked really hard to bring a second project to follow up the Macintosh SE and SE/30 clear case project.  Based on survey feedback the Apple II was the one most people wanted to see.  As a result, we worked hard to bring this project to life.  Now the time has finally come, the Kickstarter is now live.

Hi everyone,

 

Brand new to your excellent site.  I have an Astec PSU from a 2e and have found T3 Transformer faulty.  I have searched up and down and can't find out what this is to replace it, I really need help.

 

 

 T3 is just below the WARNING transformer.  D1510 is printed on the item.

PAL IIe Colour Monitor - no colour (sort of?)

Submitted by Joudan on August 28, 2019 - 7:04pm

Hey all,I have a PAL Apple IIe Colour Composite CRT monitor that's acting strangely. It's refusing to display in any colour but one, aka. it's monochrome, but I can change the overall colour using the bias adjustments pots inside of the case. Take a look:https://imgur.com/a/b4Oy2LQ/I've tried it with both a PAL and NTSC PlayStation 1, both display in monochrome (NTSC is expected to be anyway but I thought I'd try it just in case).

loading asm & Applesoft program

Submitted by acenewman on August 28, 2019 - 2:30pm

Working on some interfacing experiments.  They come from a book called "Interfacing & digital experiments with your apple" by Charles Engelsher.  It requires me to load both an assembly program and applesoft program at the same time.  The applesoft program calls the assembly program as a sub routine.   I wrote the assembly program using Lisa v2.5.   Can't figure out how to back out of Lisa once the binary is loaded and lauch the applesoft program???  If I try to load the assembly program outside of Lisa I get a file type error message.  Could I be getting tripped up by two different ver

Apple IIc keyboard - external options?

Submitted by Statsman1 on August 25, 2019 - 9:10pm

Hey everyone!

Did anyone ever find an alternative or hack to allow an external keyboard with an Apple IIc?

I have a IIc that has a somewhat battered keyboard, and would like to perhaps mod it to allow a new keyboard to be attached to it.

Thanks for any info you can throw my way!

Journal or Diary for the IIgs

Submitted by Punkyclown on August 25, 2019 - 6:34pm

Hi All, I would really like to find a Diary or Jounal I can use on my IIgs. Even Apple II software

would be fine.  I just want to keep a running tab on things.  

Appreciate the help.

SCRG Switch a Slot schematics?

Submitted by j3356 on August 24, 2019 - 11:01pm

Does anyone know if a schematic exists for the SCRG Switch a Slot? Seems like the Switch a Slot is pretty rare and the chances of finding one even slimmer. Was wanting to make one instead, but cant find any schematics on it.

Startup from Ram Drive Always

Submitted by Punkyclown on August 24, 2019 - 4:46pm

Hi all, I was trying to setup Flash Boot on my IIgs and got to the point where it said "Startup from Ram drive once."

and when I pushed enter the window just droped down to "Startup always" and so I pushed enter again.  Nothing really happened

so I turned off my system and now I can not get it up again.  I can not use the keyboard OA-Cntr-Reset to restart my

system after I reset the Startup Option to "Scan" or "Slot 5".  Can someone please tell me how I can get out of this Hell.

Apple //e with Horizontal Bars?

Submitted by DistantStar001 on August 24, 2019 - 2:28am

I've been working on an Apple //e mother board for a while with no luck.  It worked when I got it, and all the ICs are socketed.  So I tried to use it to diagnose another malfunctioning board.  Unfortunately it didn't work, and when I reseated all the original ICs it stopped working all together (no video, no beep).  Finally I decided to give it a run through the dishwasher (figured that I couldn't kill a dead board) and now I get 12 horizontal bars across my screen, each 8 pixels tall.  This is the most life I've gotten out of this thing in months!
