GS/OS File Types

I'm in the process of recovering files from a dead SCSI hard disk that contained ProDOS volumes on my IIGS. I was able to recover some files from the drive but it appears that the file types did not come along for the ride. GS/OS itself will not start up, complaining about system files being the wrong file type. When I examine the contents of the disk in GS/OS (starting up from a differnt boot disk) I can see that the icons are all blank documents, leading me to believe that the file types are missing.

Issues with CiderPress and MicroDrive Turbo

I've been mucking around with CiderPress in an attempt to copy over some .po hard disk images to the compact flash card for my MicroDrive Turbo. In Windows, when I load CiderPress and attempt to go to File > Open volume, I am unable to open the CF card as a physical disk. It is listed, however, when I attempt to open it, I get an "Access Denied" message.  I can, however, open it as a logical volume.

 

The instructions with the MicroDrive Turbo are specific about opening the CF as a physical volume. Any ideas why this error is popping up?

Options for IIe color video

 

Howdy,

 

I've scoured the internet and cant find any options for an Apple IIe => HDMI  video adapter. 

My Apple IIe is a platinum version, and I think the color NTSC signal may only work with a special Apple Color monitor, but I'm not sure (I'm very new to rediscovering the Apple II).

I tried a couple of compositive to HDMI adapters from Aliexpress.  Only one of them 'works' reliably, and that is only when I'm displaying text.  During color display, the converter cannot sync 

properly and colors are not displayed either.

Covox Sound Master card

Does anyone out there have one?  I've been thinking about building a clone, and I'd like to get some info about the card I can't find on the Apple II Documentation Project about it.

Proterm 1.1 vs 3.1

 I am trying to get ProTerm 3.1 to work on an enhanced //e and an Apple Super Serial Card in slot 2.  It seems like the interrupts don't work properly for ProTerm 3.1, as it only seems to receive a character when it is sending a character.   For example, if I type "AT"<enter>, I can sometimes receive an "O" or "K" if I press enter afterwards, especially if the baud rate is low, for example 300 baud.  I can use ProTerm 1.1 at 2400 baud and there seems to be no problem, except that ProTerm 1.1 does not support RTS/CTS and so going at a higher baud rate than 2400 baud results in lost cha

Anyone tested Disk ][ and controller card with AppleSqueezer GS?

Hello all - considering the AppleSqueezer GS accelerator for my ROM01 IIGS (Woz edition, ROM00 upgraded to 01 back in '86).  Niek mentioned to me that he hasn't tested the 5.25" Disk ][ drives with controller card - can anyone confirm if they work?  I still have two 3.5" drives and two Disk ]['s and would like to use them.

I'm suspecting mine is an early production IIGS, purchased in June '86, and might be affected by some of the sound issues mentioned by other folks.  I'll be forwarding pics of my motherboard to him to see if it's one of those.

Thanks in advance!

Need some help with the Einstein compiler

I have been using the Einstein compiler without any issues so far with quite complicated Basic programs, but recently I ran into a very strange bug when I tried to execute a DOS command.

 

To demonstrate the problem I have the following one line program, which simply executes the CATALOG command:

 

    10 PRINT CHR$(4)”CATALOG”

 

When I run it uncompiled under DOS 3.3 or under ProDOS it works perfectly. If I compile it using Einstein, the compiled version works under DOS 3.3, but under ProDOS it ignores the CHR$(4) and just prints on the screen:

Solid-state SCSI HD alternatives

Hello all,

 

I have an Apple SCSI Rev C - clone card, and I would like to use it with a solid-state SCSI emulator. I know of a few (such as SCSI2SD and BlueSCSI) but have no direct experience with any of them.

 

If you have such a setup would you mind sharing your experience setting up the SCSI solid-state drive and using it with ProDOS or other OSs?

 

Thanks,

 

Armando
