Disk II Cable Orientation

Submitted by sm3 on May 14, 2016 - 9:45am

Hi, got my first Apple II + recently and a nice Disk II with interface card. Before I connect it, I wanted to make sure I have the cable in the right way. I believe the red line on my gray ribbon cable denotes pin 1? So plugging this into the card, the line is towards the front of the II+ where the keyboard is? Am I right to say pin 1 is the outer most pin of the top "disk 1" connector?

I tried to search for some pics on Google but didn't find any with the terms I used.

All my experience with the 8-bit Apple to this point has been with the IIc and IIc plus. Thanks.

Apple //c garbage screen?

Submitted by NordicSnow on May 13, 2016 - 7:13pm

Hello!

On the //c I'm restoring, I'm getting a garbage screen that flashes different characters. On the bottom of the screen, the words "Check Disk Drive" are clearly visable. Amy ideas on what's wrong with it? Sorry if it's a stupid question, I'm kinda new at this.

Thanks!
