Apple IIc Drives won't read

Submitted by Slider on January 15, 2019 - 10:40am

Hey, first time posting here i recently picked up an apple IIc that was not working and spent the time fixing it.

I don't have a ton of history on the unit, it was in fairly good condition, when i opened it up it had a Z-RAM Ultra 1 inserted inbetween the MMU and CPU removing that got it to boot. Tested the RAM it works. 

Floppy drive is not working, at first it was not making the normal clicks I remember.

Checked drive, cleaned head, Lubed rails (lithium grease)

Did the Unitron U2000 have colour?

Submitted by falter on January 13, 2019 - 1:25pm

Hey guys.

I just finished repairing the keyboard on my U2000 after 4 years of being inop.  Was quite a process.  So I fired up a game to test things out fully and was surprised to see it's completely grayscale, even on a color monitor.

I'm wondering if this is a bug or a feature.  I'm curious if Unitron incorporated the color burst circuitry of the original Apple II.  It seems to be a straight up copy but maybe they cut a corner to save money or to reflect the fact that their target markets were probably mostly using monochrome?

Hey there!

 

I'm new to Applefritter and I'd like to give you guys a quick hello. ;-)

Based in Germany I've basically been an Atari 8-bit guy since 1985, but I've come to collect a whole bunch of other retro machines as well.

Now it's my IIgs that acts up, or rather won't act at all. Here's what it does (not):

Announcing 8bit-Unity: Cross-platform SDK for 8bit games

Submitted by 8bit-Dude on January 3, 2019 - 4:13am

Hey guyz,

Last month I released [url=http://8bit-slicks.com]8bit-Slicks[/url] for the C64, Atari XL and Apple//e. It is the first [b]cross-platform online game[/b] for 8bit era computers.

While developping the game, I organized my project into a "game" part, and a "SDK" part, for future re-use. It then occured to me that other people would benefit from this base for development of cross-platform 8bit games.

Horizontal bars on the Apple II+ screen

Submitted by clumpwork on December 23, 2018 - 9:06am

I have a problem with the Apple II+ motherboard(RFI) which I restored and had been working well without problems so far. The problem occurred yesterday.

The symptom was that the HGR mode became unstable and the screen was slightly flickering. I summarize the symptoms after restart. With reference to previous posts

, I inspected the IC pins and replaced , but it is not improved. I can not identify the problem IC. Character ROM may be suspicious, but this can not be inspected because it does not have.

Symptoms;
