ADT question about using audio vs serial

Submitted by Corey986 on April 13, 2013 - 6:49am

Besides bootstrapping which you sometimes can't avoid,

How bad is ADT (not pro client, but for DOS 3.3) when sending disk images over the audio ports vs using a Super Serial card?

It's a heck of a lot easier and cheaper to run audio cable between my Apple II area and my Mac which sits on my desk then it is to run 25ft of serial cable.

Buggie

Submitted by k4lmp on April 12, 2013 - 8:29pm

I don't know if any of you have bought anything off of Buggie4vrl on ebay. He is the one that makes the Buggie power supplies, and I'm sure you all have heard of him. I have made a couple of purchases from him on ebay, and he is the greatest. If you ever think of buying from him, don't hesitate. He is great. Good, honest, ebay seller. That is a rarity these days.

Apple ][e and Printer

Submitted by Stargeek on April 9, 2013 - 8:52am

I inherited an Apple ][e from my Father. It had power supply issues and once I removed the mainboard connector, tested the power supply, and reattached, it started working (corrosion on connectors?). Now working, Yea!

My Father was a prolific writer of his life experiences. All on 5.25 floppies! I'd like to get the stories off the floppies, it looked like the most practical method would be to print them off and scan to pdf files or ocr.

The printer involved is a Transtar 120 daisywheel for which I have no documentation. Knowing the control codes would be a plus.

Memory expansion on a //e ?

Submitted by Keatah on April 8, 2013 - 5:31am

What is the most amount of RAM memory I can put into a //e machine, and how would I go about it? I'm not interested in IIgs, just the //e.

RGB Card hard-wired to Motherboard

Submitted by Raidersan on April 5, 2013 - 7:30am

Hi,

My latest acquisition, a ][e from '84 has a RGB Card that has 3 wires soldered on 1 side onto 3 lined-up and clearly labelled contacts on the card and soldered onto pins of what looks like C65 and C57, but I could be wrong on those labels.

I have attached pictures of the card and motherboard.

Has anybody got an idea why that would have been done. I am guessing the RGB card didn't need such kind of surgery to work.

Many thanks!

Rev 0 compatibility question/poll

Submitted by Corey986 on April 3, 2013 - 6:09am

Ok here is what I'm trying to find out.

I have a Rev-0 with no auto-start ROM and both disk II and CFFA3000. I have a language card in it and I put a RamEx 16k "language card" which only provides 16k so that I still have to do 6 Ctrl P in monitor to boot from floppy on power up.

I ran all the test in APtest and all the apple dealer diagnostics disk tests that apply and it passes.

I also ran a modified version of one of Mike Willegal's memory tests, which did find a bad ram chip that I replaced with a good one.
