Adaptive or technology Learning programs for Apple II

Submitted by macman223 on March 15, 2013 - 12:50pm

Hi,
I have done some research about the programs that I used to have with my Apple IIe when I was young. I've discovered that these programs made particular use of the echo speech synthesizer For speech output on the Apple II. These were special of programs that used adaptive peripheral devices such as switches and The Powerpad. These were primarily geared toward young students with disabilities. My question is would anybody have any programs that use these adaptive devices?

Apple ][+ 80-col card video specification?

Submitted by curts on March 14, 2013 - 5:56am

I would like to use my Apple ][+ 80-col card with a modern LCD monitor. I purchased a composite video to VGA adapter and it works with the 40-col and graphics modes, but doesn't display the 80-col video.

I'm assuming this printer will work fine connected to almost any Apple II parallel card. Am I correct?

(bought the printer on a whim at a surplus shop, figured I should check before getting a card and cable...)

Apple II rom card switch; where can I find one?

Submitted by transwarp II guy on March 13, 2013 - 10:39am

I did a quick internet search and could not find the post I was looking for. I once read a post where a integer rom card was damaged during shipping and the switch was broken in two. The post lead to them finding a switch from some internet web sight. It’s been years and now I can not find that post, nor can I remember where they got the switch.

Apple Power Requirments

Submitted by apple2lives on March 12, 2013 - 8:34pm

An interesting topic arouse in a different post. This leads to the question what are the power requirements of an Apple II computer? I thought this might make an interesting forum topic.

I do not know the accuracy of these numbers but they were published by Applied Engineering. All values are in milliamps and only apply to the +5V rail.

Need some help identifying Joystick? “Apple stick”

Submitted by transwarp II guy on March 12, 2013 - 2:01pm

Hello, does anyone recognize this device? I’m guessing it’s some sort of I/O device but I don’t want to plug it into my II’s 16 pin I/O port in fear of possible damages.

I just purchased it off of ebay, the pictures are a copy from the listing, I can take better pictures if anyone wants me to. By the way thats a film container over the 16 pin plug.

Any help will be highly appreciated! Thank you.

Heres what it looks like:

AppleColor composite monitor problem

Submitted by dramsey on March 11, 2013 - 8:39pm

I just received an AppleColor composite monitor, model A2M6020, and it has a little problem: everything displays as purple.

Well, it can do blue and orange as well. But 80 column text? Purple. White lines? Purple.

The tint, color, and "white only" button on the front of the monitor have no visible effect on the display.

My guess is that the green electron gun is kaput and that there's no reasonable way to repair it, and I should probably send it back. Opinions?
