Microsoft SoftCard + cp/m 2.2 + CFFA3000

Submitted by dvador on July 24, 2014 - 4:15pm

cp/m works without any problem from the CFFA3000 by assigning the disk image to the DiskII emulation (Slot 6)

is there any way to attach some cp/m disk to the smartport and use them from cp/m

any idea ?

thanks

Add interlace video to Apple ///

Submitted by dramsey on July 21, 2014 - 8:46pm

One of the new features of the Apple III Plus was an interlaced video mode, controlled by a switch added to the outside of the case. Apparently, Apple offered this feature is an upgrade to existing Apple threes, but it's not clear what the upgrade consists of.

My question is: can this feature be easily added to an existing nonplus Apple III?

a9m0107 failure to copy disks

Submitted by insanitor on July 17, 2014 - 10:13pm

Pretty much the subject.

Here's what happened:

In the morning, I copy the system master disk to the same drive three times.

I do the same in the afternoon and evening.

Sometime today, I got an error message. I/O error or some other error, I do not remember.

Disk drives do not work.

Submitted by KF5SDR on July 16, 2014 - 12:48am

I have two Disk ][ drives, three disk controller cards, and around thirty bootable disks (I have run them successfully before). But whatever combination of drive, controller, and disk I try, my Apple //e will not boot. What could I do to rectify the problem?

Disk ][ head stepper

Submitted by richard-iii on July 12, 2014 - 5:57am

I got hold of a damaged disk drive for my ][e, it appears to have suffered a fall from a great height as the case was dented, the disk rotating flywheel and bearing had dropped out and the pcb mount had snapped off of it's mounts to the casting.

These are all rectifiable but the head drive stepper motor appears to be seized solid - which seems very odd for a stepper motor.

The spiral disk that drives the head is a press fit onto the shaft of the motor.

Anyone taken this apart?

Anyone know where I could find another stepper?

Apple ][e display pulsating

Submitted by richard-iii on July 11, 2014 - 7:10pm

Hi all,

I have after many years finally got myself a lovely Apple ][e!

It seems to be working fine but the display is doing an add pulsating thing.

Basically once a second all the text appears to go bold and then it flicks back to normal.

The machine has an 80 column card in it, if that's relevant.

Any ideas what might cause this?

(The monitor is an lcd tv)

Cheers!
