Apple II din serial adapter?

Submitted by Verault on January 29, 2023 - 11:23am

Does anyone know of an adapter that  can be used to take the large Din connector of the Apple IIc and adapt it to connector to the small Din connector on say the IIgs , IIc plus, or the Mac?  Id really rather not make one as soldering a mini din connector will drive me nets.  So again a large female din 5 to a small male 8 pin din.

A2Forever Posts about Apple Cat Voice Mail / BBS software

Submitted by lucidphreak on January 29, 2023 - 11:22am

Howdy.. I see that member a2forever posted a few posts quite some time ago about bbs software that would (using an apple cat modem/dtmf decoder/SAM, and im sure other odds and ends) would allow a bbs user to dial in, select a menu option then be "dropped back" into a digitized voice messaging service using touch tones for navigation like a VMB..  Lots of people including me asked him to upload a copy but I never saw any response that he did.

 

He hasnt logged into the bbs for 5 years - was just curious if anyone else might know about this software/have a copy?

Murder Party (Electronic Arts)

Submitted by gmontag451 on January 28, 2023 - 12:42pm

I've spent the last few days decoding the complete text for the game Make Your Own Murder Party from Electronic Arts, something I've wanted to do for decades. But in the process I've discovered that there seems to be only one unique copy of the Apple II version available to download, and it's broken. (The same copy is shared on hundreds of sites.)

FujiNet for Apple IIc/IIc+/IIgs ~ Anyone have a 3D printed case for this?

Submitted by michaelx74 on January 25, 2023 - 3:39pm

I know Javier Master has created a great one, but haven't seen him post his 3d printing file.  Anyone that has one of these FujiNets, if you have a case I'd love to get my hands on one.

Super software sales

Submitted by Ratso222 on January 25, 2023 - 3:29pm

Have to downsize and I have a lot of 5.25 floppies of all kinds of stuff; some original and some copies. I estimate 80-85% of the copies work fine. The copies worked fine in 2021.  Some were nibbled copied and drive speed might have to be adjusted for those 15%. I have gotten rid of most of my Apple 2 e's.Anyway, essentially I would charge a little less than $1/disk plus the cost of mailing.

I need help with an Apple IIe Pal Colour Card

Submitted by John L on January 24, 2023 - 9:24pm

I am unable to find any documentation or even discussion about this PAL colour card. At first I thought it was simply an Apple II series PAL encoder card but that's not the case.  

 

The card itself has markings "Apple IIe Pal Colour Card" and "A2A005". Looking at the connector it appears to fit a regular slot and I wonder if this card can be used in slot 3.  I also need to know about the connectors - one is a four 4 pin connector to a header and the other one is a thin black one which connects somewhere else.

"I Speak BASIC to my Apple II" -- TEACHER manual, 2nd edition

Submitted by mabalmer on January 22, 2023 - 7:24pm

I'm looking for a copy of the teacher's edition to I Speak BASIC to my Apple II -- but not the red book that's commonly available. 

Hayden Books did a 2nd edition whose cover is blue. I have the student manual, but I'm looking for the corresponding teacher's manual. Any place that claims they have it really seems to have the red first edition of the book and not the blue 2nd edition. 

Does anyone have a copy of this that they could scan or are willing to part with?

Apple II memory expansion card technical reference manual

Submitted by Boletus on January 22, 2023 - 2:47pm

Hello,

 

I'm looking for the above manual, not the owner/user manual that is readily available online.

 

I want to address the I/O registers of the card and I need the I/O reference with an explanation of what does what.

 

Thanks

Luca
