Apple IIC Plus

Submitted by 1978AppleII on June 17, 2016 - 12:10am

I recently stumbled across an Apple IIc Plus!

Has the 3.5" built in floppy drive, and internal power supply.

But I have a lot of questions!!

I believe they started selling these in 1988, and continued until 1991. Anybody know for sure? (I can't even find a copy of the owner's manual for the IIc Plus yet!)

Also I can't find any production numbers, not even SWAGs about how many were produced. Anybody??

Apple ii Europlus - suddenly throwing up erratic error

Submitted by Atomtan on June 14, 2016 - 1:58pm

Hi All

I have used this forum over many years to help me restore my Apple II Europlus (UK model). The machine has been fully working for many years, but recently I decided to try and fix up some un-serviceable Drive II's using the detailed diagnostics from Speedy G. I suspect it is pure coincidence, but after running tests on one drive, the machine threw an error along the lines of:

EE00- A=DA X=F4 Y=04 P=39 S=E0

VisiCalc on the IPhone

Submitted by 6502enhanced on June 14, 2016 - 7:42am

Hi guys,

I feel a little sad that all of this does not happen with an Apple II emulation ... but it is so fine ... so, here you can run VisiCalc on your IPhone and IPad:

put VisiCalc (1981) in drive A; load; hit Return to prompt; then "VC" ...

You are also able to save your work!

Quick lo-res sprite parser in basic

Submitted by Del_Capslock on June 12, 2016 - 10:17pm

Hey guys,

Recently I've been messing around with graphics on the apple, and while trying to wrap my head around hi-res mode I decided it might be fun to make something quick in lo-res.

Doing this in Applesoft with the PLOT command is easy but quite slow, especially when you try and add things such as collision or sound effects.

So I tried making a simple routine that moves a sprite around the screen by poking values directly into memory.

Anyone run APTEST?

Submitted by Statsman1 on June 8, 2016 - 7:30pm

As far as I can tell, my disk drives are working fine - I have the card in slot 6, my Floppy Emu is drive 1, and a floppy disk drive that works as drive 2.

When I run the "Disk Interface Test" in APTEST, I get "DRIVE ROM BAD" and that's it.

I have no problems running anything from the Floppy Emu, I can INIT, LOAD and SAVE things to drive 2.

Sigh.

Apple II+ Monitor

Submitted by 6502enhanced on June 4, 2016 - 12:01pm

Hi guys,

I bought a very little LCD-monitor to use it as a second monitor for my Apple II+ - here I normally use the Videx Videoterm with my Apple Monitor II - so I would have a second one to see the 40C display.

If I connect this little monitor to a Apple IIe or a Apple II Europlus it works perfectly all right!

If I connect it on the Apple II+ to the Videx Videoterm it works perfectly all right!

If I connect it to the Apple II+ video output it does not work?!?

The monitor should work with PAL and NTSC.

What could be the problem?

Apple ii port uses?

Submitted by Samm328 on June 3, 2016 - 9:17pm

Hello guys, Sorry for the vague subject but I figured it would get more people to see this, and in turn give a broader idea of the uses for this port.

What are the uses for the DB9 Serial port (female) that is by the cassette ports on the apple iie?
