Apple II

I just acquired an original Apple II power supply A2M001, nice low serial 8603.  It is great all-original condition and still works, except that the original mechanical power switch is stuck.  Of course I would like to replace the power switch so it works.  The question is, what would you do to fix it?

First, the two aluminum rivets that secure the PS enclosure were already removed by the previous owner.  I determined that this was done to hard-wire the switch to be "always on".  So nothing is lost by opening this supply, since the original rivets were already removed anyways.

This seems not to be working.  It's been a while since I brought up CP/M on either of my Apple IIe and I think it had the 'enhanced' upgrade done since that time.  Now on both of my enhanced Apple IIe machine the Appli-Card no longer works.  Is this a known compatibility issue or has mu Appli-Card gone south (so to speak)?

Hi folks!

I have a friend who has an Apple II+ with a slight modification that allows them to boot from either the first or second slot.  (Slot 0 or slot 1)

Their goal is to be able to have a 16K language card in Slot 0 and a ROM card in Slot 1 - and be able to boot off of either.

While this appears to be working, they do not get an autoboot to Basic unless they have a floppy loaded.

I would have thought it would autoboot to the Basic prompt, but that isn't happening.

Hi I have just been Given a Apple 2e computer with duo drive and monitor/software and manuals. I have set it up for the first time in probably 30 years. I am no expert on older computers. The Duo disk drive lights up for a second on both drives then doesn't do anything or load disks and also when I press keys on keyboard it keeps typing any letter I type. Any ideas why thank you
