Apple IIe Color is wrong

Submitted by schafferm on April 27, 2022 - 8:29pm

Hi

 

I have an Apple IIe where the color's are not correct.    Please see my image below - 

 

Of note, I've tried two different LCD's and different cables as well as a different IIe -  

 

They ALL work as expected except for the problem IIe - so this is not a LCd/monitor/cable issue.

 

I've replaced the PAL/HAL - with a know good one and the problem persists .   Any recommendations on what to look for here?

Building a New Apple II

Submitted by a2fan on April 25, 2022 - 11:45am

Hello,

I was recently watching Action Retro on Youtube and saw he had a new IIe case and keyboard he put a GS motherboard in. It got me thinking about if it was possible to build a new Apple IIe. So the case and keyboard can basically be covered with new products being made, as can the power supply and expansion cards, but what about the motherboard? I see there is a new II+ motherboard for sale, but why no IIe motherboard? Is it much more challenging to make? Would it be possible to add enough upgrades to a II+ to essentially make it a IIe? Looking for advise or thoughts.

Repairing Liza Loops Apple ll PSU

Submitted by mrtitanic777 on April 22, 2022 - 8:45pm

Hey everyone,

 

So back in September, 2021 I was working for Liza Loop, and I was working on her Apple ll Rev. 4 Unit, and the whole rest of the computer works, EXCEPT for this PSU. I decided to fix it for her. But I need a schematic too see how it works, and I have been unable to locate a manual for schematic for this PSU. It appears to not be the mornally used PSU in the Apple ll Plus units as well as the later Apple lls...

 

Heres some photos of it.

Bolo - anyone know how to get it to work with joystick/controller?

Submitted by sabibo on April 22, 2022 - 8:40pm

I loved Bolo as a kid, and it runs in this linapple emulator, but it's not working with the XBox controller I have hooked up.  Every other game I have tried works fine with the controller, so I feel like it is configured correctly.  Anyone know how to get it to work?  I asked on Reddit and someone said you have to press Joystick button 0 to move, or 1 maybe.  But pushing the buttons does nothing when I try.  Is there some key you have to hit or something to put it in joystick mode?

 

Thanks!

Some questions - returning to Apple II after 40 years

Submitted by sabibo on April 22, 2022 - 11:33am

Hello,  my friend gave me a super-cool tiny Apple II computer (3D printed and running on raspberry PI).  I learned programming on an Apple II back in 1983 or so.  I still had all my old disks, so I sent them to a guy who restored the data from them (they still worked I can't believe it!)

So I'm trying to poke around these things and have a couple of basic operation questions, can anyone help with these?

(The RetroPie running on the little machine uses the linapple emulator.  Not sure if that makes a difference)

All Open-Apple Podcasts are now ready to stream on a real Apple IIe/ gs.

All Open-Apple Podcasts are now ready to stream on a real Apple IIe/ gs.

Oliver Schmidt has prepared all Open-Apple Podcasts to stream them with his Apple II software A2Stream. 

This is fantastic, as we can now listen to Woz f.e. on any real Apple IIe/gs equiped with an Uthernet Card! Just this. There is no additonal sound card needed! Just a stream from the internet to the Apple II. 

The sound quality is awesome. The internal speaker of the Apple II can be used or the tape output to connect additional sound systems to the Apple.
