Apple //c Drive Issues

Submitted by mbaran on October 22, 2014 - 7:45pm

Hi guys.

Trying to relive childhood and get an Apple //c back up and running. I have the system successfully bootstrapping from ADTPro, but I think there is an issue with my disk drive.

Considering a SCSI card for my IIgs

Submitted by SpeedD408 on October 22, 2014 - 12:05pm

I'm considering picking up a SCSI card for my IIgs. I have a CFFA3000 so not sure I need it for HD but for some reason I'm considering it for a CD-ROM. However, I really don't remember much software coming out on CD. So other than the want factor... help me justify it... Smile

thanks,

Unidisk and drive repairs. Info needed please.

Submitted by Tracer bullet on October 18, 2014 - 6:35pm

I mentioned earlier that I purchases a pair of 5.25" unidiscs and a 3.5" drive. Is there a way to test and align these drives? I have no OS discs for the 2gs system and will have to bootstrap the system to create system discs I guess. I'll probably have to clean align the drives eventually. Can anyone recommend a site where I can find this info from? How hard is it to do? Any special tools required? I read along time ago about syncing the 5.25 drive with a 60 hz florescent bulb. Again, I have NO software for the system and will have to start from scratch using ADTPro.

Removing yellowing off of plastics

Submitted by Tracer bullet on October 18, 2014 - 6:19pm

I managed to purchase a pair of 5.25" unidiscs and a 3.5' drive as well. The 5.25" drives look a little yellowish. Has anyone managed to clean and return their drives back to their original color?
I found this site: http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/ What have you guys found that works? Take the drive apart and pop the case into the dish washer?
I'm looking to clean them up as best I can.
Thanks.

Questions about European Apple IIe

Submitted by Zan8675 on October 17, 2014 - 11:21am

Hi all. Picked up two Apple IIe machines and a Mac LC that are European versions. The IIe machines are both PAL video with the Aux slot in line with slot#3 and have 230/240volt PSUs. I will post pictures when I am home this evening or tomorrow morning (sorry, looked at them before I left for work this morning and realized what I had but no time to photograph)

My first couple questions are:

1) Can I swap the PSUs for a 115 VAC supply?
