Newbie looking for a IIe joystick

Submitted by montreal on October 30, 2021 - 4:55pm

Hello,

I'm really happy I have found this Apple II online community.

I've recently acquired an Apple IIe (non-enhanced) which I'm restoring.

Many of your posts are really helpful !

 

Would anyone know where I could find an Apple IIe compatible joystick?

Universal Serial Interface Card Model J13-A for Apple IIe

Submitted by tolderlund on October 30, 2021 - 8:27am

Some years ago I bought an Apple IIe which I'm now beginning to restore.

Along with it came some cards, but without any documentation.

One of these cards is this serial interface card.

Does anyone have any manual or documentation or information about it?

 

Googling it I only found one place where another guy also asks about it, but no answer except about the Super Serial Card which this is not.

Apple IIc keyboard problem

Submitted by papalapa on October 30, 2021 - 6:46am

Recently I bought an Apple IIc with german keyboard and after some days of use the RETURN, ENTER and ARROW UP keys stopped working. I opened the Apple IIc case, unconnected the keyboard flat cable and visually checked for some damage, but all seemed to be correct. I applied Contact Cleaner  (zero residue) to all the switches and after re-installing the keyboard again all the keys started to work.

 

Today, after a couple of weeks using the Apple IIc, the problem  has come back.  What can be cause? Flat cable or keyboard controller chip maybe (which one in this case)?

IIc Plus RAM upgrades

Submitted by KG7PFS on October 29, 2021 - 10:32pm

I understand the Apple RAM upgrade for the IIc won't work in the IIc Plus unless I replace the PAL chip because of a timing problem. Where do I get the replacement PAL chip?

There seems to be a rumor that later IIc Plusses were sold with a 256k RAM expansion installed. Where did this go? Where can I get one?

wDrive features

Submitted by papalapa on October 29, 2021 - 2:30am

I have my wDrive connected to the Apple IIc throught the BMOW disk switcher that enables to boot from it. After somes days testing and loading disk images succesfully, I have two questions:

 

1) How can I set the time that the display background light is turned on? Now is turned on all the time, but when used with my Apple IIe I think to remember that it turns off after a few seconds since the last disk access. No mention about this in the manual then, I'm not sure if is possible or not, or maybe if it's a firmware issue.

ADTPro - Audio and SSC issues

Submitted by heyme123 on October 25, 2021 - 5:13pm

I have been trying to get ADTPro working now that I have a good working Floppy drive.  

Both Audio connection and SSC connection has the same issue - garbage text after the first couple files listed when doing a remote directory.

 

I can send data fine,  I have even sent a copy of a disk back to the computer and ran it in AppleWin.  Using the DiskServer website, i can send disks via the audio connection.  Just not with ADTPro.

Adapting the Apple IIe mouse?

Submitted by timetraveller on October 24, 2021 - 6:04am

I'm considering a purchase of an Apple IIGS. I already have an Apple IIe and mouse.

Can the Apple IIe mouse be adapted to work with the Apple IIGS by using an adapter to convert the DB-9 connector to the small Din connector?

Apple II monitor & flyback

Submitted by MacFly on October 22, 2021 - 6:00am

My trusty Apple // monitor has given up (A2M2010P European/PAL model). The root issue seems to be a dead short between the #1 and #7 pins of the flyback transformer. That's a short between a primary and secondary winding. Not good.

 

What a bummer. It's still got a bright green phosphor CRT, decent, unscuffed case - and not too much yellowing. And having my original green CRT with the machine is somehow part of the whole experience of running the machine.
