What is this Apple IIe clone?

Submitted by galinpetkov on October 29, 2014 - 2:54pm

I recently got an Apple IIe clone. No matter it says "Pravetz 8" on the label, obviously this is not the case.
It boots with "Ready" and nothing more. It does not say "Apple IIe" ot "Pravetz" (Правец).
It has 64KB of RAM, lower and uppercase support, joystick and casette input/output. It does not support 80x25, but with an expansion card, it can.

The monitor is bulgarian, so it is not with its original display monitor.

Any comments are welcome.
You can view the attached pictures for details.

Thanks guys.

Regards,
Galin

Apple IIgs - what do I need

Submitted by moijk on October 24, 2014 - 6:28am

after following apple iigs sales for years I finally said screw it and ordered the one in my ebay post. Comes with two diskdrives, unknown to be working or not, no display cable and no software - lights up and bleeps when started apparently.

I got two problems I need to solve right away.

Apple IIc Display Question

Submitted by mbaran on October 23, 2014 - 12:28pm

Curious if the display output I am seeing is normal (or at least normal for how I have it connected)

I have my IIc connected to a plasma TV for now (trying to find someone selling a monitor //c for a reasonable price!) and I am getting a lot of pink and green color banding

Is this the side effect of a 30 year old composite output on a modern television?

Apple //c Drive Issues

Submitted by mbaran on October 22, 2014 - 7:45pm

Hi guys.

Trying to relive childhood and get an Apple //c back up and running. I have the system successfully bootstrapping from ADTPro, but I think there is an issue with my disk drive.

Considering a SCSI card for my IIgs

Submitted by SpeedD408 on October 22, 2014 - 12:05pm

I'm considering picking up a SCSI card for my IIgs. I have a CFFA3000 so not sure I need it for HD but for some reason I'm considering it for a CD-ROM. However, I really don't remember much software coming out on CD. So other than the want factor... help me justify it... Smile

thanks,

Unidisk and drive repairs. Info needed please.

Submitted by Tracer bullet on October 18, 2014 - 6:35pm

I mentioned earlier that I purchases a pair of 5.25" unidiscs and a 3.5" drive. Is there a way to test and align these drives? I have no OS discs for the 2gs system and will have to bootstrap the system to create system discs I guess. I'll probably have to clean align the drives eventually. Can anyone recommend a site where I can find this info from? How hard is it to do? Any special tools required? I read along time ago about syncing the 5.25 drive with a 60 hz florescent bulb. Again, I have NO software for the system and will have to start from scratch using ADTPro.

Removing yellowing off of plastics

Submitted by Tracer bullet on October 18, 2014 - 6:19pm

I managed to purchase a pair of 5.25" unidiscs and a 3.5' drive as well. The 5.25" drives look a little yellowish. Has anyone managed to clean and return their drives back to their original color?
I found this site: http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/ What have you guys found that works? Take the drive apart and pop the case into the dish washer?
I'm looking to clean them up as best I can.
Thanks.
