Apple ][+ clone PAL to NTSC modification?

Submitted by ben23239 on December 6, 2016 - 7:25pm

Hi all,
I recently came into possession of a Unitron U2000 Apple II+ clone, partially modified for PAL video output. Of the various screens I've tried only my Samsung TV can successfully lock onto its monochrome signal, and then only after careful tweaking of the video pots on the motherboard.

My Apple //e Platinum Build Out (rebuild)

Submitted by c0op3r on December 6, 2016 - 10:35am

I recently bought an Apple //e Platinum from a local seller I found on eBay. I got the Computer itself w/ 64k/80col card and floppy controller, one floppy drive and the Apple composite monitor. Condition over all was good. I took it home and clean it up some and did some research on upgrades and improvements.

Things to consider when looking for an Apple II (not plus)

Submitted by snazzify on December 5, 2016 - 10:13pm

Im thinking of getting an Apple II and would love to hear what you have to say when looking for one. Things to consider before buying. Doesn't need to be an early model just as along as its an Apple II.

Also the price, how much are you willing to pay.

Apple IIC Power Issue

Submitted by akochera on December 4, 2016 - 10:49pm

I have an old Apple IIc I am restoring. When I turn off the power, the memory does not clear for more than a minute. That is, I can turn it back on, and be back where I left it. I even tried unplugging the brick from the back of the IIc, but to no effect. So whatever is happening must be internal. Is this a known issue? I guess that it might be a poor capacitor, but is there some other component meant to drain the caps that should be checked?

Looking for replacement IIe keyboard keys and keyswitches

Submitted by rittwage on December 4, 2016 - 11:18am

Hi guys,

I have an Apple IIe with the keyboard that has white lettering. Well, it was shipped improperly and several keys broke off and were lost.

I wonder if anyone could either spare an old white-font keyboard they might have with different missing keys than mine so I can make one working?

So I got my machine about 90% setup I had WoF working and playing this evening, now I did not do so well, but with a little practice I bet I can get the old MoJo back.

My old Apple IIgs game review

Submitted by antiguogrumete on December 3, 2016 - 7:08am

Hi, here is my review of this game I made with my friend Huibert Aalbers some time ago.
The funny thing is that now is easy to play with an emulator software or in a simple web page.
Looking back everything seems simpler, I remember scheduling entering the monitor and writing the code directly now everything is more complex ....

5.25 unidisk repair

Submitted by dc99 on December 2, 2016 - 10:13pm

Hi all,

Recently I managed to damage two 5.25 unidisks. In both cases after I reassembled the drives I notice the disk spins but the drive head no longer moves.

Using a 3rd working drive I was able to narrow the issues in both cases to the unidisk analog board.
