Finding Donkey kong & Display issues

Submitted by Panther96 on October 30, 2008 - 8:11am

I've got DK off Asimov, but when I transfer with ADTpro it says 'Transferred with errors', game boots but then freezes, anyone know where else I can get it from ?

Also I've tried 'Aliens', 'RamboFirstBlood' & 'Starwars', all seem to transfer and boot up OK, but the display appears corrupted, is a seperate display controller required, or it just a bad transfer/download ?

Finally opened up My Apple and found....

Submitted by Panther96 on October 27, 2008 - 5:56am

Well after ordering a Super Serial Card from the states (they are impossible to find in the UK), I had to finally whip the top off my iie to fit it inside I found the following

1 Apple 64k memory expansion card
1 Disk drive controller Card
1 Grappler Printer Interface Card

and finally

1 card that's marked up Z80. Is this a card you'd normally expect to find in an Apple ? forgive my ignorance if it is, I'm still pretty new to the world of Apple Smile

unknown Apple II card

Submitted by dc1mik on October 23, 2008 - 12:16am

Hi,

can anybody tell me something about a card called N-PARA 2. The card was in slot 1 of my Apple IIe and has a Sub-D25 connector with only 3 wires connected. The ROM on the card is marked as P2, the designations of all the other parts on the card were removed (grinded).

Thanks in advance!

Echo II sound card

Submitted by arukum17 on October 19, 2008 - 10:33pm

Has anyone here used the Echo II sound card/speaker system for the Apple II
I am refering to the early voice synth card (not the later music card)
Any views? Worth getting for the Apple II collection?

Thanks in advance, I'm sure these "What was the name of X?" questions can get a little tiresome. I'll try to provide as much data as possible to hopefully make this easier.

The Caverns of Dr. Oz

Submitted by Apple Dual Core on October 18, 2008 - 4:10am

Does anybody have any information on an educational math game called Caverns of Dr. Oz? I played it on the Apple in elementary school and I'm trying to get ahold of it again. The object was to write the correct answers to math problems before traps killed you (crushed by walls, cut by giant scissors, having to kick a bomb off a cliff). If anybody remembers this game or anything about it - who published it, where I can get ahold of it, please let me know. Thanks!

Understanding How Transfer Disk Images to CF Card

Submitted by TheKisho on October 14, 2008 - 6:52pm

I just bought the IIgs MicroDrive IDE Controller card (256MB CF) from ReactiveMicro. I spent all day with the CiderPress software and can't figure out how to use it. I have all these disk images I'm unsure how to get onto CF for use on my Apple IIgs. I looked at some tutorials but I'm still confused. Please could some one could explain how to do it step by step so anyone can understand. The CiderPress software is over engineered and poorly designed for easy of use in my opinion but it seams to be the only option.

Disk ][ Detail Calibration Guide for First Timer

Submitted by TheKisho on October 14, 2008 - 2:42pm

I've never calibrated a drive before, but I need to calibrate my Disk II drive so it will read and write floppy disks. I need a really in depth guide that is easy to understand. I have no 60Hz strobe light for getting the drive speed right. I need a solution to get this drive working that doesn't involve shipping it to someone to do it. The heads are good. I know this drive was fully functional before my Apple II Plus stopped working.

Apple II Plus Last Remaining Roadblock

Submitted by TheKisho on October 14, 2008 - 2:28pm

I've have made a lot of progress in fixing my Apple II Plus, but now I'm stumped in what is blocking my progress at the current moment. I have replaced every last chip including CPU and ROM chips. Well every chip but the two 555 ICs, the Special ROM (Character ROM) (which seams to be in working order), and 741 IC. All chips where replaced with known good chips. Maybe one of the other components need replacing. When I start it now it displays this perfectly with no random characters appearing:
