Questions about the Ram Keeper

Submitted by Sid6.7 on June 1, 2026 - 3:26pm
Hi everyone. Today I bought a boxed RamKeeper, complete with manuals and the external power supply. I have no idea yet when it will arrive, since it will be shipped from the US. In the meantime, I have a few questions about it. First question: from what I understand, the RamKeeper does not include any RAM. Unlike the RamFactor, it must be paired with another RAM expansion board. Can anyone tell me whether it can work with my Garrett Workshop GS‑RAM II GW 4201d 8MB card?

Getting Online

Submitted by MilesPrower2001 on June 1, 2026 - 4:50am

I've had a TheOldNet Serial WiFi Adapter for a few years now and have never been able to get my //e online. I've tried my best to getting the original paperwork for the SSC//, done a bunch of other research, tried Contiki and ProTERM, and still nothing. For reference, I have a //e with 128k, a SSC//, I've been trying to use ProTERM 3.1 and I have a DB 25 cable with a DB 9 adapter and ending with a null modem adapter to the modem. I really want to see this computer online. Please help!

Questions about RamFactor Part II

Submitted by Sid6.7 on May 31, 2026 - 4:00am
Hi everyone. After a few days, I’m back again to talk about the Applied Engineering RamFactor. I’m still looking for the piggyback module to expand it to 4MB of RAM, but today’s issue is a different one.

ImageWriter II smudge

Submitted by aofapple12 on May 18, 2026 - 8:44am

Hello all,

 

I fired up my ImageWriter II with a new color ribbon cartridge (from MacEffects). While the printing looks good, it also has some smudges. 

 

What can I do to minimize or eliminate that? Is thre anything to clean or adjust?

 

Thanks

Apple II 128K card - questions

Submitted by tiktak on May 17, 2026 - 9:46am

Hi all,

 

I came by a load of cards for the Apple ii. I'm just working my way through them all and currently on this 128K clone.

Compared to another card online, there appears to be some components missing in the middle of the board, below the 6 resistors. I was wondering if these have been removed or were never there?

Laser 128EX Odd Display Issues

Submitted by nick3092 on May 16, 2026 - 4:03pm

I recently acquired a Laser 128EX, and populated the memory card to 1MB. I tested out Henry Lowe's Card Cat and RAMWerks programs, and I'm seeing some odd display issues that I'm trying to figure out if my Laser is having issues, or it's some odd bug in the program that affects Lasers. So if any Laser owners would be willing to check out these programs, I'd appreciate it.

Asked chatgpt to make an Apple II sales poster in the style of 1950's sci-fi posters with a hint of the style of Charlie Chan movie posters.
