Apple ProFile 5MB HDD repair

Submitted by tony359 on July 29, 2023 - 4:42am

Hi all, 

 

I've recently got an Apple ProFile, 5MB HDD for the Apple ///, // and Lisa. It was not powering on so I repaired it - and as usual made a video! https://youtu.be/Vg4yNmrgVn0

 

Feedback and comments are welcome! I'll return it to someone who has a system capable of testing it soon - I only have an Apple // without the necessary card!

Do keycaps from 605-4115-0 RFI-style keyboard fit cherry MX keys?

Submitted by dfnr2 on July 28, 2023 - 7:45pm

Just curious if anyone here with a 605-4115-0 Apple II/II+ keyboard has tried the keycaps with Cherry MX keys. 

 

I know the  keycaps from later keyboards using ALPS keys are a little loose on Cherry MX stems.

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

Capturing Apple 2 composite signals

Submitted by tony359 on July 26, 2023 - 5:34am

Hi all,

 

I'd like to complete my OSSC (VGA/Component/RGB capture card with HDMI output) with a composite input which works with Apple 2 machines. I know Apple 2 composite is a bit weird so I was wondering if anybody had any experience with any capture devices. I have a cheapo composite to HDMI which works-ish as in the signal is unstable with the Apple //e.

ReActiveMicro Phasor Sound crashes / freezes

Submitted by jquast on July 25, 2023 - 7:39pm

I have an Apple IIe Enhanced, with a ReActiveMicro Universal PSU installed, an 80col/64k ram expansion card, and I am using a floppyEmu on a 5.25" 655-0101-D controller card (slot 7). There is also a SuperSerial Card installed (slot 2) and it works successfully.

Apple IIc drive woes. Bad IWM?

Submitted by kpcnsk on July 23, 2023 - 2:29pm

I'm having issues with my IIc drives. It reads from all the drives without issue, but not write to the internal, extrenal, or Floppy Emu in either location. Based on some forum sleuthing and my own investigations, I suspect that the issue is with the IWM. I'd love to have a second opinion on that diagnosis.

Submitted by kinderapple on July 20, 2023 - 12:47pm

Hi, first time post here and excited to learn of this community. I picked up a Appleii+ last weekend from an guy who cleans out rental houses/estates.

I grew up using one as my dad sold them at computerland in 80's.

Anyways got it to start up, chirp and display the "APPLE II" on monitor, but nothing else, when I try CONTROL-RESET to go into Basic, nothing happens..

Apple /// products...

Submitted by softwarejanitor on July 16, 2023 - 6:09pm

I just recently received by Titan /// + //e and Z80 SoftCard clones from Joe's Computer Museum for my Apple ///.  I have been following the threads about using a Dan ][ card for SD storage as well as FloppyEmu on the Apple /// and I've built the cable converters to facilitate that.

 

Seems like a new renissance for the Apple ///.  With these boards it can run most Apple II software even things that need a //e and a lot of CP/M software.  It really changes the whole world for using an Apple ///...

Micro-SCI / Franklin Floppy Disk Controller clone

Submitted by cryu on July 16, 2023 - 1:12am

I finally got around to completely reverse-engineering a spare Micro-SCI floppy disk controller, and have managed to duplicate it.  It has been running in my ACE1000 all morning, and appears to be working correctly.
