Apple II+ lower case and shift-key mod

Submitted by randalstout on August 22, 2017 - 11:32pm

I am sure this information is posted somewhere, so beat me up if you must.

For day-to-day Apple II stuff, I'm using an Apple //e Platinum. To mess around with my old BBS, I've purchased an Apple ][+ and each of the orignal cards I owned back then:

0: 16K Card
2: Apple Cat Modem
3: SmartTerm 80 Column Card (special firmware that I write the BBS towards)
4: Mountain Apple Clock II

SD Disk][ Plus

Submitted by randalstout on August 22, 2017 - 11:07pm

I've seen the videos that Joe's Computer Museum has done about mass storage for the Apple II series. It included information on the CFFA 3000 card, the Floppy Emu external drive and the ReActive Micro CF Card drive.

The last CFFA card that I found went for $900 on eBay this past week. Rediculous. I am waiting for them to create another batch of them, but in the mean time, while searching on eBay, I found a product that seems to work better for my situation anyway.

Death by interrupts - ugh

Submitted by jrubin on August 21, 2017 - 8:08pm

Apple II interrupts, its like the solar eclipse, strangely, you want to stare at it but you know you'll go blind for doing so. Its like whatever OS you booted with is going to destroy any jump vectors in memory so whats it all about? Finding yourself having to read prodos manuals for MLI code for IRQ installation!! This is terrible.... Im finding little tidbits of info, but it assumes different run strategies were used so that DOS doesnt destroy interrupts. This is how i do it on a commodore below for NMI or IRQ

IIGS Stack

Submitted by wishtoknow on August 14, 2017 - 11:20pm

According to the tech manual, you are allowed to
have the stack anywhere you like and upto 64K.

Does anyone know if you can have multiple stacks?
If so, how is this done?

Help with Modem MGR Apple ][+

Submitted by iamharuhi on August 14, 2017 - 1:33pm

I recently got my Apple ][+ working again and have been trying to install a compatible modem software so I could dial into my own linux server. So far I have gone with Modem MGR for it's compatibility. I was able to successfully install the settings to have it boot in 80 column mode and get to the menu. Unfortunately one of the menu items is missing. From watching videos of other people doing the same thing they use ":" to enable VT100 emulation. I don't have this option on my menu and I was wondering if I didn't have the right version of the software.

Classic IDE for Apple II

Submitted by protek on August 10, 2017 - 7:08am

I recently placed a preorder for one of these cards. The batch is estimated to ship next October. My IIGS has been lacking a decent hard drive until now. I have the SD Disk II that can emulate hard drive images too but it's not very speedy, so I thought I'd give Classic IDE a go now that they have a new batch coming up.

Has anyone here one of these cards?

Possible fried chips on Apple II+

Submitted by dafivehole on August 7, 2017 - 11:55am

I picked up a pristine II+ years ago but the original owner says that he thinks he fried a ROM chip and possibly others... I have never plugged it in, in fear that it would blow up on me Smile

Apple IIe - Intermittent random characters displayed on boot

Submitted by m_leddleton on August 5, 2017 - 8:01am

Hi everybody, I have just got myself an Apple IIe for the very first time. I have not used anything apple before especially not older stuff so I am still learning the ropes!

I have put a new capacitor in the power supply because that blew up the first time I turned it on. That all seems to work fine so first repair is a success!
