Do chips just die???

Submitted by falen5 on January 10, 2017 - 10:38am

Hi All

Was writing floppys last night (after figuring out how to use adtpro audio) on apple iie. All was going well. Wrote several of the discs i need , disc utilities etc etc

then half way through a disc write the machine just froze.

did a reset - nothing just a screen of lines.

Today i started swapping chips with good iie. The cpu was dead.

Was not even sitting at the machine when it died. Been using this particular machine for a few days with no problem.

Do chips just die?

Snazzy duds in 1982 - did you guys WEAR this stuff??

Submitted by Statsman1 on January 3, 2017 - 9:36pm

When I bought a ton of Apple II stuff from a great fellow over Christmas, I was also given a stack of "Popular Computing" magazines that contain, and I say this with no fear of exaggeration, the MOST hilarious clothing in the history of humanity.

I mean, I'm sure, at the time, these were considered the LATEST in haute couture fashion, but wow, this stuff is wonderfully awful now!!

Monitor III display problem, please help

Submitted by 1MHZ on January 2, 2017 - 5:51pm

I am trying to use my old monitor III (I am original owner) with my apple II plus. The monitor displays just a single line in the middle as pictured in the attachment. It does this plugged into the computer or not. None of the external adjustments do anything. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

new acquisition - #00991

Submitted by 1MHZ on December 31, 2016 - 4:01pm

ok so I probably should have said a2s2 00991 in the title...lol

Odd machine. This is the lowest a2s2 (plus) I have come across. Has a raised power key kb. The serial number would seem to indicate approx. 2nd or 3d week of production of the Apple II plus.

Unusual. Didn't have a power supply, so I can't play...yet.

Interesting...

A little help needed with repairing a ComputerEyes digitizer.

Submitted by Keatah on December 31, 2016 - 5:51am

I've got one of the original ComputerEyes digitizers. The black box model with a 16pin ribbon cable, 2 knobs, and a composite input. This one here:
http://digital-vision-inc.com/productCEAppleII.htm

It has a blown chip that I'm not able to identify positively. I believe it to be a 556 but want positive ID before I go playing around. Other parts might be bad too. But, one step at a time.

Are there any photos of the board or a schematic/manual available for this?

There seems to be only APDA Draft version (1988)
Volume 1 & 2. Is there a more recent version
of this online? (1990 edition)

ProTerm support via GBBS

Submitted by 6502enhanced on December 29, 2016 - 3:37am

Hi guys,

in the wikipedia article about GBBS is written that there had been a GBBS System that supported ProTerm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBBS .

I would like to set up a dial-up BBS with GBBS which is able to connect to a Raspberry PI.

F.e.:

GBBS connection with a modem in slot 4 (just dial-up)

GBBS connects to the raspberry pi in slot 2

and sends this via the modem to the Apple II which dialed-up the GBBS System. So this Apple II can use the internet connection from the raspberry pi(running Raspple).

Any hints?
