Duodisk thinks all disks are write protected

Submitted by desiv on November 13, 2024 - 10:47pm

Any ideas on what I should try first?

It's been a while since I tried to write floppies on my //e.

 

Fired up ADTPro to try to create a disk.

I can boot off floppies fine.

But when I tried to format, it didn't work.

So I tried the other drive...  Didn't work.

Went into Copy ][ Plus and tried to format, it says the disk is write protected.  No matter which drive.

I have tried several different floppies (unused and appearing to be in good shape) and it's not saying it fails formatting.

Question about Zenith ZVM-122-T Monitor

Submitted by microstar on November 13, 2024 - 12:54pm

I’ve acquired a Zenith ZVM-122-T monochrome composite video monitor that I would like to use with an Apple IIe. There is no RCA-type jack on the input plate but instead there are 4 cables coming out of a  cut-out in the lower left rear corner.I have seen pictures of the exact same monitor configuration on various websites, so it is possible this could be a factory modification? The second photo shows the ends of the 4 cables. There is continuity between the AC ground pin, the shell of the BNC, the green wire, and the braided strap.

Apple II Europlus NTSC colour

Submitted by NebulaBC on November 9, 2024 - 2:54pm

I own an Apple II Europlus, but currently live in north america. I've been considering swapping the crystal and converting the machine to NTSC colour, and I just ordered the parts to do so. As the parts were being shipped, I finally got around to setting up an ADTPro disk (I've just used this machine for writing BASIC programs occasionally up until this point), and I used it to re-burn my diskette of oregon trail that was corrupted. In this process I noticed that I appear to be getting colour out of the machine already (inside the game).

Card diagnostics

Submitted by peetee on November 8, 2024 - 3:18pm

After a 40 year hiatus, I'm having fun reintroducing myself to the Apple II. I've picked up two IIe systems from local sellers, leaving me with an array of cards: SSC2, LIRON, Buffered Grappler+, a few different disk controllers. I've downloaded and used Card Cat 1.6 to confirm that the cards are identified correctly, but is there any software out there that can run diagnostics to see if these old cards are still working properly? I can probably test the SSC2 with ADTPro and the LIRON with the Floppy Emu I picked up, but I have no real way of knowing if the Grappler is working.

Disk II will not write

Submitted by applesider on November 5, 2024 - 7:02am

I've recently got my IIe out of storage and cleaned up both drives. One works OK but the other appears to function, but does not write. It apparently formats OK, I can download a DSK file using ADTPro, which runs without any errors, but when I examine the disk it has the original contents before the format. Can the write process proceed and fail without any error messages? ADTPro is working OK on the aufio link, there is no problem there.
