Titan Saturn 128k ram card won't boot cp/m 56k

Submitted by Boletus on January 18, 2021 - 9:49am

Hi,

I have a Titan Saturn 128k ram card that passes all the Saturn SW ram tests (ramtest128k) and also 16k language card tests in Ap Test SW  but it does'nt load cp/m 56k.

I'm sure the  cp/m copy/image is good because it loads in MAME emulator with a standard language card.

Does anyone have the same configuration? Are You able to boot cp/m 56k?

Thank You

Luca

Games that require two disks

Submitted by implosionwithin on January 16, 2021 - 1:06pm

I am attempting to create a disk for a game that requires two disks to play.  When loading the game into an emulator the disk shows that I need to insert the second disk.  When I go to create the disk for the apple II, the second disk is not read and no game is ever loaded.  Is there a trick to creating disks that will indicate that the second disk will be need to inserted and then also read?  When I insert the second disk, the game tells me to insert disk one so it has created a cycle that brings me to believe the game was copied correctly but the disk drive does not attempt to read the di

Alps Touchpad GlidePoint CWTKGDDCA901

Submitted by brimars on January 14, 2021 - 9:19pm

For anyone that might be wondering about using an Alps GlidePoint trackpad with their IIGS, I'd like to say this thing seems to work pretty great. I picked up one off Amazon for $19.95 after deciding I wanted something that wasn't a ball-mouse type pointing device. It is an ADB device that I'm using plugged into an Apple Design Keyboard M2980 ADB bus and have had absolutely no problems with it in GS/OS. I point this out simply because I couldn't find much information on some of this hardware in conjunction with the Apple II series.

WTB : Pre Rev 7 motherboard

Submitted by DeanClaxton on January 14, 2021 - 5:16am

I'm chasing a pre rev7 motherboard to purchase (eg rev 4) for ROMX testing. If anyone has anything please let me know. I want a board I can use to test 2513 replacements post assembly. I dont need any ROMS - not even the 2513 - so that might save me some $$. Also will take boards that are not working so long as they are physically intact and can be repaired.

Hires graphics problem

Submitted by johndegroot on January 13, 2021 - 4:21pm

Text is fine. When you enter hires mode, all you get is random text on the screen. I've swapped out all of the chips with a working apple, but it is still the same. I've attached some pics. (note: the distortion you see in the pictures is just reflections. I think it was the only sunny day we've had in 3 weeks). You can see once I type hgr, the random text shows up.

I'm not sure what the apple uses to switch it to hires mode.
