Assistance with cc65 to test new functionality

Submitted by russell-harper on June 22, 2025 - 5:28pm

Greetings,

I'm working on implementing conio cgets in cc65 https://github.com/cc65/cc65/pull/2705. The code reviewer has asked that I confirm functionality in at least Apple ][, Atari 800, and C64.

Looking at all the options for cc65 to compile Apple ][ programs https://cc65.github.io/doc/apple2.html, I'm not sure which to use. Can I get some advice on what the best options are?

Also, if I have an executable, would it be okay to post or link to it here to ask users to test?

QC10-20 manual

Submitted by Wayne on June 21, 2025 - 10:57pm

There’s already a scan of the Quark QC10 manual out there but this one is a year newer. It’s mostly the same but has a few more pages, has links and is searchable

Help me find the source of the mysterious PSU ticking noise

Submitted by geerlingguy on June 20, 2025 - 5:35pm

Our Apple II project keeps hitting little speed bumps...

Today after my Dad spent a couple hours re-seating almost all the chips on the board (cleaning with Deoxit), we had turned it on a few times and it was fine.

But then after the final few chips were re-seated, and everything was plugged in, the PSU started ticking, maybe a few times per second.

Pulling off the PSU cover and listening relatively closely, we couldn't determine exactly where the ticking is coming from, but it seems to be coming from the side more near the back (where the power plug is).

FujiNet

Submitted by mreg376 on June 9, 2025 - 12:08pm

I did a search here and can find nothing on FujiNet.  It looks like an excellent resource for multiple retro, including Apple II, platforms, and seems to does it all, from Smartport and floppy EMU-type support, Internet access, printing emulation and printing support, CP/M emulation, etc, with ongoing development and a relative minimal investment.  Anyone familiar with FujiNet?

IBS AP53 - Floppy Disk Controller - PCB marked as AP41 - why ?

Submitted by tokabln on June 9, 2025 - 10:32am

Gents,

just a question regarding a floppy controller from IBS sold as AP53.

Does anyone know the history behind while the raw pcb is marked as AP41 ?

Sup'r terminal 80col restomod : power resistor ?

Submitted by CedsRepairs on June 9, 2025 - 5:00am

Hey everyone

 

Sorry for the slightly obscure question — I’m working on restoring an Apple II "Sup'r Terminal" 80-column card.

By "restoring," I mean I've noticed that the board has several ICs that are known to fail over time, so I'm adding sockets for each chip to make future repairs easier — even decades from now.

Wrong power supply

Submitted by Wayne on June 8, 2025 - 5:05pm

I went to boot a spare IIgs and found that the aluminum power supply had stopped working. I was getting 3v out of 2 connections and less than 1 volt out of the other 2. I opened it up and was surprised to find a wrong power supply inside. A Tiger PS and except for 1 screw it was siliconed in. Probably came out of a II+ clone. Since the original PS is gone I guess I’ll put in a better replacement. I’ll likely use a Rel-70-4004 I have on hand. It’s a medical PS that puts out all the right voltages.
