Interest in Apple II Discord server?

I have been running a private retrotech serer on Discord, and I have consiered making it public. 

 

How many people here would be interested in a Discord server for Apple II (and other, similar, retrotech) discussion?

I am guessing someone got a good deal!

Well,  I wasn't sure what to list this at so I took a guess.   I am thinking I guessed way wrong since I didn't even have my finger off the return button before it was purchased. :-) 

 

I was never going to use this and thought someone else may.   

 

How bad did I underestimate the price?

 

It's water under the bridge now, but I would still like to hear everyone's opinion. 

 

If it's a fritter who got it, hope you enjoy it!!!

Synetix SuperSprite or Third Millenium ArcadeBoard: Worth Cloning?

I'm curious if anyone else feels that it is worth trying to clone the Synetix SuperSprite, or the Third Millenium ArcadeBoard cards. It would open a new realm for software creation on the ][+ an //e that shockingly was never fully-eplored during the operational lifespan of the system.

Replacing all ROMs in Apple II Plus with one EPROM

I got tired of my Apple II Plus not booting every time I pulled it out of the garage every 10 years, usually due to the decrepit socketed ROMs.

I came up with a relatively simple mod to replace all the ROMs (Applesoft and Integer sets) with one EPROM.

Made a video of the process here:

Hope somebody finds this helpful some day,

Applied Engineering PC Transporter and Drives

 

Hello,

First off, first post here, learning a lot from this group!

I recently acquired an Apple IIe that has a PC Transporter card, an AE dual 3.5" drive and an AE single 5.25". The computer runs fine with the card installed in slot 7. The drives have not been tested due to not having a PC or PC disks.  What's a fair price to ask for the card and drives? Thanks

Drive //c Write Protect Issue

I recently picked up a Drive //c for my Apple //c, and found that it always thinks the disk is write protected.  I did some research, and I see you can wire in a switch to override this.  I'm not sure I want to do that at this point yet, but would like to troubleshoot a little further.

Please help identifying my clone

Hi,

 

I got an Apple II (or II+) clone.

 

I'd like to know more about it, as I would like to restore it. There is no badge or label on it. The ROMs are 6 2716 eproms. I took some pictures of it:

Anyone willing and able to produce floppy disks in Australia?

Hi All,

If I provided media, would anyone in Aus be able to write out some diagnostics disks for me? I'll cover postage and pay media and any other out of pocket expenses.

I'm particularly after the Apple II+ Confidence disk, the Apex II diagnostics disk and Apple Cillin II.

(All are available from ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/disk_utils/diagnostics )

 

(If this kind of request is not allowed, let me know and I'll remove it immediately)

Steve Wozniak actual signature...

Just grabbed this on Ebay. I always see the "Woz" signature, but, haven't seen his full name signature. Does anyone know how rare a full Steve Wozniak signature is? I thought it was cool to add to my collection. Now I need a Steve Jobs autograph! :). Sorry for the post in the Apple II forum but it seems to be the most active. In any case, I'm still looking for an additional Ventless Rev. 0 if anyone has one for sale. Thanks!
