ADTPro's only taking me halfway

Submitted by johnrork on January 13, 2009 - 11:10pm

Hey folks, hope you can shed some light on this for me.

I'm audio-bootstrapping a //e and initially had a lot of trouble even sending ProDOS. A new audio cable and this thread helped me get that squared away, but now I'm batting a big fat 0 at sending the ADTPro Audio Client. It literally fails every time.

I fail to see why the first transfer goes without a hitch and the second just never comes back to a prompt! Any tips?

Robotics on the Apple II

Submitted by arukum17 on January 5, 2009 - 3:12pm

Any sources for where I can find a small robotic arm / mobile rover / turtle etc for the Apple II and the software and interfaces to run it?
I recall there used to be a RHINO kit in the 1980s but can't find even used examples. Thanks

Lots of Old Apple Stuff

Submitted by blkphantom on January 3, 2009 - 11:35am

Hey Everyone,

I have found a bunch of old mac stuff lying around and I'm looking to sell it. I tested everything to see what worked and it is all in good condition. I also looked around via google and found approximate pricing for each item. My question for you all is, what items that I own are rare and do you agree with my listed pricing? Please be honest and share what knowledge you have. I am no expert on these items but I did do some research.

Here is the list of what I have:

How do I create graphics for Apple II?

Submitted by jaksel on December 27, 2008 - 3:10am

Is there a quick and easy way to create graphics (bitmapped) for the Apple II? I downloaded a program called ClipShop that seemed to be very useful, but I couldn't figure out how to use it. And yes, I read the manual Wink

I can import Apple II binary files, and copy them to the clipboard, edit in mspaint, get them back into ClipShop, but then I cannot get them back into an Apple binary...

Is there any other way? Perhaps using a good picture editor (which one?) on AppleWin?

Disk ][ PC interface update

Submitted by Mike WIllegal on December 20, 2008 - 8:49am

I'm pretty exited about the progress I made during yesterdays snowstorm, so I figured I'd share it. Besides snow-blowing the driveway and flooding the skating rink, I was able to spend a lot of time working on the Disk ][ de-serializer. This is the function that reads the data coming off the disk.

Macintosh PLUS Promblems :O(

Submitted by A2forever on December 20, 2008 - 3:09am

hey guys.. I got an old Mac PLUS here... I believe it has disk drive issues... When I bootup the Mac with a 3.5 floppy in it , it gives me a little icon in the middle of the screen , shows a sad face and below it, it says 0F0008? or something like that.. I take out the disk , reboot and it goes too the hard drive that is installed.. Plus the eject button does not work correctly :O( I have to use a paper clip to get the disk out! Does anyone know if replacing the disk drive 3.5 that is , is a difficult procedure? Or would it be easier to hook up an external 3.5 drive?

Apple ][ Disks From Emulator Roms ?

Submitted by Spottedfeather on December 13, 2008 - 3:14pm

I have recently gotten back into retro gaming and have been playing old Apple ][ games from when I was a kid. But using an emulator is not the same thing. I would much rather play the games on an actual. Asuming that I was able to track down a working Apple ][, is it possible to create working game disk from the roms that I use in my emulator ? What equipment would I need and how would I go about making a disk ? Thanks.
