Apple II

I have a II+ with a Videx and softswitch, but I cannot get the 40 column output on the videx output.  I have triple checked the installation and it all looks correct according to the manual.  When I activate the Videx, I get the 80 column output no problem?  Any ideas?

Thanks!

I wrote a blog article on a new firmware project: A2USB. Adds USB support to the well-known A2VGA boards and emulates an Apple II Mouse Interface Card - connecting a standard USB mouse.

Currently requires a bit of tinkering - as described in the blog. Already works really well, but still needs testing on more and other machines.

Creating this forum topic for possible discussions - in case someone wanted to give this a try...

I went back home for Christmas, and my father had retrieved my boyhood Apple II+ from storage. We originally got it second-hand, and it came with some expansion cards and some mods installed, but I was a child, so whatever the computer did was what I assumed it was supposed to do. Now I'm older and a little nostalgic, I've spent some time reading up about the Apple II+ hardware, watched some videos about how things were supposed to work, and grown curious about how my Apple II+ had been configured.

Skipping ahead to the observations:

Here is what I am builidng today...
