Having been launched in September 2017, a new
magazine has arrived that focuses on
retro computers (Apple II included of course!)
with modern updates.

Link is below.

The magazine has also written an emulator
for the modern age.

Very early Apple II+ from ebay

Submitted by falter on November 2, 2017 - 4:34pm

I thought about buying this but passed. Beyond the bragging rights I didn't see much point.

Rev 4 Motherboard not starting properly and no beep

Submitted by Hunter012 on October 28, 2017 - 9:08am

see pics, I get the ampersands and no beep from the speaker.

Things I've tried:

Different power supply
gently pulling all accessible chips up and reinserting
replacing CPU chip

Also I replaced all the Roms from another board because 3 of the roms had rusty pins that broke off.

would love to get it working but no matter what I do I get the same powerup screen so there must be a bad chip or memory.

Should I try replacing all the memory or a different approach?

Thanks

Help me Steve Jobs your my only hope

Submitted by wishtoknow on October 23, 2017 - 3:45am

As it is most commonly known, Carrie Fisher (of Star Wars) and
Debbie Reynolds passed away last year.

What I did not know and have found out the Debbie Reynolds
owned an Apple II.

It is a ventless Apple II and low serial number. (AS1-0082)

This is up for auction now and expected to go between
$1000-$2000 (US) along side of the other belongs they owned.

Apparently Debbie used it as in inventory database.
(I wonder what software she used)

Are there any other celebrities that owned/still owe an Apple II?

Which ROMS are needed in the Apple II / II+ for machine to function

Submitted by Hunter012 on October 22, 2017 - 11:01am

Can someone tell me what is the bare minimum ROMS to install to have a usable Apple II?

There are ROM D0, D8, E0, E8, F0, F8 sockets

Which ones are dedicated to basic, and which ones are for disk and other purpose? How did the configuration change when apple switched from Integer basic to Applesoft.

In person an in pictures I have seen different combinations and empty sockets.

Wanted: Apple II Joystick or Adapter

Submitted by rittwage on October 17, 2017 - 8:13pm

I have several Apple II joysticks that are made for the IIe (9-pin) but none for the II/II+, or an adapter to go from the chip socket to 9-pin.

Does anyone have any reasonably-priced adapters or any extra regular II joysticks for sale/trade?
