Apple //c - Oregon Trail Strangeness

Submitted by bushnrvn on March 2, 2013 - 1:53pm

I recently purchased an Apple //c as-is. With a little bit of elbow grease and a new power supply, it is chugging along good as new. I've played a few games on it so far and all have worked fine except Oregon Trail.

The game loads and gets to the main menu. I have four numbered options and the program awaits my input. However, none of the number keys seem to work. I press 1 through 4 and the cursor will blink as if a key has been pressed, but no value appears.

I've tested all the keys and they all work fine in any other program.

Yes i have tried varying the volume and that didnt change anything. Anybody know what i should be looking at? thanks in advance.

What's up with the crazy Apple II prices on eBay?

Submitted by javster on March 1, 2013 - 11:40pm

I may be living under a rock, but I see prices of Apple II systems going over $800, while a II plus or IIe are still in the $200s. Any ideas?
Cheers

Question about ProDOS 2.0

Submitted by dramsey on February 28, 2013 - 8:31pm

OK, so I've got ADTPro (marvelous program!) working and am happily transferring stuff from my Hackintosh to my //e.

I saw that one of the operating systems available on ftp.apple.asimov.net is ProDOS 2.0, so I created a floppy from the "ProDOS_2_0_3.dsk" and booted from it.

Well, it is ProDOS, but that's all-- just the base OS, without the utility program ("Startup") that comes with earlier ProDOS versions.

Also, I noticed many versions of ProDOS as .SHK files. I found a Mac program that will decompress them, but they're not disk images; merely bare system files.

Apple ][ Forever! My Introduction

Submitted by Canadianviper on February 27, 2013 - 5:07am

Hey All!,

My name is Darren Crawford I am 39 years old and I am a HUGE fan of the Apple ][,
infact my first computer back in 1984 was A Apple //e Clone (a Apco) over the last 4 years I a have begun collecting machines off
ebay and the such, and discovered ADTPro and have managed to get the entire asimov archive back on 5 1/4 floppies that i have also
aquired on ebay.

Can you nice folks point me in the right direction for more Apple ][ goodness? I already know about ADTPro, Applefritter (of course) and the Apple 2 use group.
Is there a official IRC channel? heck is there a way to get the APPLE ][ On IRC? how about a twitter client for the ][ now that would be interesting.
I don't have a ether/utherclient card cause i have not found any for sale yet. I am also on the CF3000 waiting list.
I am going to be launching my own Apple ][ Everything website in the near future.
Is there anyway easy way to feed a //e's composite out into a vga LCD monitor? I have tried to feed it into my composite capture card (hauugage 950q) with horrifying
results. ( wavy video), I would really like to get this clunky commodore 1702 monitor off my desk and replace it with a lcd.
Anyhow... cheers all..

What //es came with enhancement?

Submitted by dramsey on February 25, 2013 - 3:36pm

OK, so I understand that there are "standard" //e computers and "enhanced" //e computers. The latter have 65C02 processors and upgraded ROMs and video that add a variety of nice feature, the one of which I like the best is being able to type lower case BASIC commands.

The "junk" //e I have is a beige numeric-keypad version. The motherboard has two 64x4 RAM chips. It has the enhancements.

Anyone have a PDF for a RamEx 16k Language Card...

Submitted by Corey986 on February 25, 2013 - 1:19pm

I have one of these cards and I love the fact you don't need to remove a chip and have a cable to the ram area of the motherboard, however I can find any documentation anywhere on the net. I can find pictures, but I really want to find a PDF of the manual.

Thanks,
Corey
