Enhanced apple II and it died

Submitted by jrubin on October 10, 2014 - 5:57pm

Today I upgraded the ][ with the retro innovations kit. Following ESD procedure. When I turned it on all I get is garbage and no drive activity.
I put the old chips back in and get the same thing. Nice way to start the weekend. Any ideas before it goes back in storage for another 20 years?

Apple /// keyboard upgrade problem

Submitted by dramsey on October 9, 2014 - 7:11pm

I've just upgraded the keyboard on my secondary Apple /// to the Apple ///+ keyboard. I have the keyboard and bezel and obtained the correct encoder ROMs from Vintage Micros.

The system starts to boot, but stops with a SYSTEM FAILURE = $01 message on any boot disk. According to Apple docs, this means "BRK instruction from within SOS", which is pretty useless.

Is there anything I need to do when upgrading the keyboard other than replace the encoder ROM?

Apple IIGS Store Demo Disk

Submitted by jimreed1957 on October 6, 2014 - 3:10pm

Hi,

I sold Apple products from 1982 until 1996. I still have a ROM 3 IIgs and would love to get a copy of the store demo disk that was made to draw attention to the IIgs in stores when played through the Bose roommate Apple speakers.

I have seen disk images of it online, but so far no luck getting anything to work. If anyone has copies or can make me copies, please let me know.

Best Regards,

Jim

Apple /// Plus keyboard encoder ROMs

Submitted by dramsey on October 1, 2014 - 10:31pm

I have a couple of NOS Apple /// Plus keyboards, presumably from the Apple upgrade kit that was offered lo those many years ago.

What I don't have are the required encoder ROMs. Anyone have any idea where I could find these?

Another variable/array question

Submitted by RockbadgerX on October 1, 2014 - 8:02pm

Hi. I've been trying to work out a way to reduce code in Applesoft.

E = user's choice
GL = amount of current gold
P(1) = price of item 1
K = an error check. K is set to 1 (K=1) when an invalid choice has been determined (“you can't afford/use it”). User is GOTOed to input new choice. Elsewise, K reset to 0, continue.
S = category identifier set at items list section S=1 (shields, line 750), S=2 (armour, line 900) or S=3(weapons, line 1200).

Here's what does work:
