Formatting HD 3.5" Floppies on Apple //e's & //c+'s, Every Time

Submitted by mutant_pie on November 3, 2014 - 2:46pm

I made a new thread for this topic as a similar one veered off. I just wanted to share that it IS possible to use HD 3.5" floppy disks with standard Apple II hardware, using the 800k disk drives. I do this on Apple //e's and Apple //c+'s all the time and I really never have a problem.

Apple /// memory problem

Submitted by dramsey on November 2, 2014 - 9:45pm

Anybody here know anything about throubleshooting the bank-switched memory on an Apple ///?

This machine was working perfectly until I tried upgrading the keyboard to a /// Plus keyboard-- this requires replacing the encoder ROM as well as the keyboard.

Simple enough, but the computer would not boot SOS afterwards. It displays the screen and then crashes. Memory diagnostic tests pass "bank 0" and then die.

What is this Apple IIe clone?

Submitted by galinpetkov on October 29, 2014 - 2:54pm

I recently got an Apple IIe clone. No matter it says "Pravetz 8" on the label, obviously this is not the case.
It boots with "Ready" and nothing more. It does not say "Apple IIe" ot "Pravetz" (Правец).
It has 64KB of RAM, lower and uppercase support, joystick and casette input/output. It does not support 80x25, but with an expansion card, it can.

The monitor is bulgarian, so it is not with its original display monitor.

Any comments are welcome.
You can view the attached pictures for details.

Thanks guys.

Regards,
Galin

Apple IIgs - what do I need

Submitted by moijk on October 24, 2014 - 6:28am

after following apple iigs sales for years I finally said screw it and ordered the one in my ebay post. Comes with two diskdrives, unknown to be working or not, no display cable and no software - lights up and bleeps when started apparently.

I got two problems I need to solve right away.

Apple IIc Display Question

Submitted by mbaran on October 23, 2014 - 12:28pm

Curious if the display output I am seeing is normal (or at least normal for how I have it connected)

I have my IIc connected to a plasma TV for now (trying to find someone selling a monitor //c for a reasonable price!) and I am getting a lot of pink and green color banding

Is this the side effect of a 30 year old composite output on a modern television?
