Apple IIe Super Serial Output as Keyboard Input for PC

Submitted by CablingOptional on June 2, 2018 - 2:27pm

Hey All -

I have an Apple IIe with two super serial cards, and am using it successfully with ADT Pro & VDrive connected to a Raspberry Pi. I use the Pi as a virtual drive, etc.

What I’m really trying to get working now is to use one of the Apple II’s serial outputs as a keyboard input for my PC. I can connect one of the SSC ports to a USB-to-serial converter, fire up a terminal emulator on each system, and easily send text back and forth, etc. But having the PC recognize this data as USB KB input is a diff ask altogether.

Ordered a II+ Motherboard

Submitted by gts250gamer101 on May 31, 2018 - 10:30am

Hey all,

A while back I posted regarding my Apple II+. I believe that it is the Bell and Howell model, however, I do not think that is the case due to the fact that it is the normal II+ logo. (presumably was painted by the owner)

The Compleat Apple CP/M by Steven M Frankel

Submitted by jwg1962 on May 31, 2018 - 7:46am

Hello fellow Fritters,

I was wondering if anyone out there has a copy or knows where to get a copy of the book "The compleat Apple CP/M" by Steven M Frankel ? I am hoping to do a talk on the Apple II and CP/M and this book would be a huge reference for me.

I have looked on eBay and searched libraries near me to no avail. I was unsucessful in finding any scans of it either.

I would be willing to purchase this, rent it, or borrow it until the begining of August.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Jay

Submitted by clockchip on May 28, 2018 - 5:03am

Hello

how long must I wait when I power off the Appe IIe before i can turn it on again.

Because when i turn it off and on (waiting 1-2 Sec) it shows me some charater mismatch on the screen.

Is this normal to Apple II Systems ?

Compiled Apple Startrek (Appletrek)

Submitted by wsander on May 23, 2018 - 2:40pm

In about 1984 I got a copy of the Flash Integer Basic compiler and made a compiled version of the Apple II Startrek (later Appletrek) game. The complied version is much faster than the Integer Basic version and significantly improves the playing experience. Anyone who played the game in the old days should try this version.
