Question on hooking up the Shiftkey Lowercase Mod for the II+

Ok , can you guys give me some suggestions on what is the best and easiest way to hook up
the Shiftkey Lowercase Mod for the II+? What type guage wire should you use? And what is the best way to connect it to pin#4 of the II+'s joystick connector? Should you remove the Joystick's connector and soldier the wire to pin#4 and reconnect the Joystick connector , or should you just use a 16 PIN connector that goes into the Joystick's connector? And if going the route of a 16 PIN connector , is this stable enough? Will it stay in place when you want to add/remove a joystick?

GBBS up and running?

Wow! Kewl too see that a BBS has popped up again! That would leave some real posobilities for running older BBS's again! Think about it! It would be awsome too see cool BBSs back in the day , like Dune , Simarilian , Adventure's Tavern , and many others come back too life , via a Super Serial Card II and a CF card! Ofcourse , the passwords would still be in play , but would still most likely take new users , wow , that gives alot of ideas!

Very kewl , very kewl in deed :O)

Apple II* stuff for sale- what's valuable?

Hello,

I need to de-computer. I have bushels of Apple items (too cute?). My plan was to ebay it, but selling through here may work.

The problem is many of these things may be too common and may not be worth the trouble on ebay. I've done some research. Some stuff will only sell for a buck or two.

Help me here- what items are interesting (I refuse to say @@@RARE@@@!)?

I appreciate honest answers,
Scott

Joysticks & Paddles

I've got an original copy of Decathlon for my iie, on the third event (the shot putt) it requires paddles, now these are unbelievably hard to find in the UK ! However I've seen alot of adaptor leads to enable people to use the old Atari joysticks on the Apple, would the Atari Paddles also work ?

Some I've seen plug direct into a socket on the Motherboard, is this socket present on all iie's ?

Thanks as always !

II+ Lowercase Shiftkey Mod & Display Question

Hi all.. I just came accross a super super clean II+ , it looks like it has a brand new replaced Keyboard along with a updated Keyboard Encoder! There apears to be a wire that leads from the Keyboard Encoder Board and connects to a IIC located directly under the II+'s Joystick Connector. My problem is I don't know how to enter the Shiftkey Mod , what keys you press or hold to enter using Lowercase. I tried the following program to display what characters are coming off of the SPECIAL ROM ....

10 FOR X=1 TO 255
20 ?CHR$(X);
30 NEXT X
