Submitted by jrubin on November 14, 2014 - 1:30pm

Ive got everything up and running I run -vsdrive and have the directory on the computer set to the location where Virtual.po and Virtual1.po are

cat,s2,d1 or d2 shows blocks free 1593 blocks used 7

the computer host shows

virtual drive command received

ive renamed other po images Virtual.po but it never seems to show them using cat.

Albert Computer

Submitted by Byrdog on November 13, 2014 - 5:29pm

Hello Fritter forum,

Long time stalker first time poster here.

I am posting in hopes of gathering some information regarding the Albert computer.
I know it was marketed as a “Smarter Then Apple” computer. I have also read the write up on resestvector.com as well a brochure or two on it.

What I’m trying to determine is how rare they are or how many were made? It appears that the company was only in business for 12-18 months and failed to gain much traction before apple shut them down?

Does anyone have any memories of using them or know anyone who did?

A2PI/GSport/FUSE

Submitted by Mr.Fix on November 12, 2014 - 5:45am

Hello,

I have recently started playing around with the RPI connected to the A2Pi card, with the installed Rasapple II software (great hardware/Software combination).

Being a new user to Linux and its commands I have some questions:

1. From reading and seeing on youtube, i can mount my physical drives from the A2 (cffa3000 (slot2), Scsi HD (slot7), by installing FUSE and using A2MOUNT. Is this preinstalled on A2PI? If not, how do i install FUSE (steps would be appreciated)?

What do you make of this motherboard...

Submitted by jsa on November 11, 2014 - 1:44am

Based on the registry project (Link: here ), doesn't that indicate that this board is not a II+ but a II, and not that low a serial?

Apple IIgs power supply on the fritz MWP-303

Submitted by jrubin on November 10, 2014 - 1:18pm

Ok, people , looks like ive got a power supply issue on the 2gs

I noticed it was having difficulty turning on. You can hear tht fast audible chirping from the power supply. Thinking it was the PS, I pulled the memory card.

With the memory card pulled the computer will turn on. However it ticks several times as the voltage ramps up then it turns on.

Probably something wrong with horizontal synchronization.

ADTpro with superserial DIP switch question

Submitted by jrubin on November 3, 2014 - 9:43pm

The configuration for serial as shown on the ADTPRO website shows

SW1: 1001111 SW2: 1101100

With regard to SW2 numbers 3 and 4 (as read from left to right), they are shown to be configured as 01

Table 2-4 of the SSC manual shows

11 - no parity
10 - odd parity
00 - even parity

so what is 01?
