Apple Pascal on IIGS

Submitted by old_hitech on May 4, 2020 - 12:55am

Has anyone successfully used Apple Pascal on a IIGS? I have a ROM 01 IIGS with two 3.5 drives and one 5.25 drive. I thought I would be able to find a 800K disk image of Apple Pascal 1.3 somewhere, but I was unsuccessful. I have also tried to use Floopy EMU as a second 5.25 drive. I have tried Apple Pascal 1 disk in the real 5.25 drive and Apple Pascal 2 disk in the Floppy EMU and the Apple Pascal 1 disk seems to boot okay, but the Floppy EMU blinks a few times, but all that is on the screen is a square character in the upper left corner of the screen.

PC Transporter rolling video issue. Any ideas?

Submitted by DeathAdderSF on May 3, 2020 - 8:13pm

Hey, all.

 

So I've got my PC Transporter installed in slot 7 of my IIgs ROM03, connected to an AppleColor RGB monitor by way of the ColorSwitch. And although all Apple II graphics modes display perfectly fine thru this connection, whenever the PC Transporter is engaged and switches to MS-DOS, the video starts rolling up the screen. Adjusting the VHOLD of the monitor does not fix the issue. Before anyone asks: Yes, I have slot 7 set to "Your Card" and I have tried using different slots.

Apple IIe display problems

Submitted by robbo007 on May 2, 2020 - 8:43pm

Hi guys,

I'm having a pew problems with my Apple IIe PAL and an Apple II Monochrome monitor. There seems to be this watery effect going down the screen and the text is not very clear. The monitor is good as I've texted it on another Apple IIe. What things can affect the video and what can I do to try and better it or fix it?  Its hard capture on photo so I can't post any screenshots. 

 

Regards,

.woz disk image to 5.25 diskette

Submitted by old_hitech on April 30, 2020 - 8:05pm

I have started using .woz disk images with my Floppy Emu and they are working great. I'd like to copy the .woz disk image to a real 5.25 diskette. I tried DOS 3.3 master COPYA program, but get error when it tries to read the .woz image on the Floppy Emu. Has anyone created a bootable 5.25 diskette from a .woz image?

Change ProDOS Initial Programme

Submitted by Timelord on April 30, 2020 - 3:47pm

As far as I remember things, ProDOS runs the first system file that it finds in sequence after the initial ProDOS bootstrap. Is there any way to change what it loads short of re-making a disk and choosing what was copied to the first blocks? 

 

What I want to accomplish, is to create a bootloader utility on an existing HDD volume, that lists the devices and slots; with an option to boot into GS/OS or to boot from another slot entirely.

Submitted by MacMark on April 29, 2020 - 1:14pm

On my old //c is some keys do not work anymore like the "7", "p", "u", "k" an the "," keys.

I took one of the keys off and it looked mechanically ok. Can these keys be repaired? Or can i buy somewhere a replacement keyboard?

Floppy Emu: ProDOS 2.4.2 Not Contiguous?

Submitted by Timelord on April 29, 2020 - 10:58am

I have a few technical issues with my Floppy EMu, and I am beginning to think that I will need an alternative emulation card, although IDK if any solution is perfect.

 

Most notable is that when I try to load the ProDOS 2.4.2 or 2.5a disk images, it errors that the file is not contiguous. This seems absurd. Do any of you know what is happening there?

 

I also noted that almost every game .dsk image refuses to load.
