Disk Disintegrators and utilities

Submitted by Keatah on May 17, 2016 - 6:10am

No, this isn't about destroying floppies. It's about packing full disk games or many files into 1 single file for easy upload to ancient BBS'es. There were a number of programs that did this, the most widely used one was Dalton's Disk Disintegrator.

A2 speech support question

Submitted by theslownorris on May 16, 2016 - 4:29pm

Is speech synth just a novelty? Or is there any software such as educational titles that use it? Perhaps there is a list out there in the wild interwebz?

I was thinking of buying a reactivemicro mockingboard clone and I'm trying to decide if speech chip is worth the extra $$$?

Thx!

Tele-Cat // 2.0 and 3.0 ?

Submitted by Keatah on May 16, 2016 - 5:51am

Does anyone remember (or have available to post) a free BBS software package called Tele-Cat // v2.0 and v3.0? It was specifically for the Apple-Cat II modem. I'd love to get an unadulterated copy of each version if anyone has them.

I'm in the process of going through my own library to see what I can come up with. But the prospects are grim so far.

What's a good utility to copy files between diskettes? I've been relearning apple dos and can't remember if there is a utility to do this.

Thanks

VSdrive A2gameserver and other such things

Submitted by jrubin on May 15, 2016 - 9:08pm

I attempted to get the A2gameserver running this evening off of the 2E. I was able to install the software and see a bootstrap attempt. I threw up a red flag though when I noticed that the server end doesnt have an option to set serial speed, this looks like a project unfinished. The documentation is but a paragraph, and a more expected method of providing the client (disk image for adtpro) does not exists and expects to see it accomplished by audio from a wav file.

Is this project still a thing, or is it deadware.

Also, ive played with VSdrive from ADT. It mentions an emulated hard disk possibility (up to 32MB) but no instruction as to how one produces such a file on the server end. Any ideas.

Disk II Cable Orientation

Submitted by sm3 on May 14, 2016 - 9:45am

Hi, got my first Apple II + recently and a nice Disk II with interface card. Before I connect it, I wanted to make sure I have the cable in the right way. I believe the red line on my gray ribbon cable denotes pin 1? So plugging this into the card, the line is towards the front of the II+ where the keyboard is? Am I right to say pin 1 is the outer most pin of the top "disk 1" connector?

I tried to search for some pics on Google but didn't find any with the terms I used.

All my experience with the 8-bit Apple to this point has been with the IIc and IIc plus. Thanks.

Apple //c garbage screen?

Submitted by NordicSnow on May 13, 2016 - 7:13pm

Hello!

On the //c I'm restoring, I'm getting a garbage screen that flashes different characters. On the bottom of the screen, the words "Check Disk Drive" are clearly visable. Amy ideas on what's wrong with it? Sorry if it's a stupid question, I'm kinda new at this.

Thanks!
