Apple IIc power supply issue

I got an Apple IIc but it didn't boot. Both the drive led and power led blink when the computer turns on. There is no video output and no activity on the disk drive. It seemed to be a power supply issue, so I measured the VCC of a couple of 74LS374 and found that the voltage is close to zero and flutuating. I then checked the internal power converter and found that its D7 diode is bad: the resistence between its two pins is small in both ways.

Time ][ card repair & reverse engineering – component values and battery advice needed

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on repairing and reverse-engineering an Apple II clock card from the Time ][ / TimeMaster II family, and I’d really appreciate some help from the community.

Initial state

When I bought this card, it was almost completely depopulated:

SPIISD problem with french Apple IIc

Hello,

I built an SPIISD device (version 1 without a display, the model with an IDC20 cable, Arduino Nano) for my Apple IIc (ROM 4X with a French keyboard).

I flashed the software onto the Nano using a Pololu AVR programmer. When I start the Apple, I get the message "No bootable device."

The software on the Nano starts properly, Welcome messages are visible in the log.

The connections between the DB19 connector (original) and the Nano are fine, as are those between the Nano and the SD card reader. I checked all the connections.

Misc 3D Parts - IIgs Monitor Middle Foot, IIe Numpad Conenctor Brace, IW2 Feeder Wide Brace

Back in November, I picked up a Bambu P2S printer.  Since then I've been slowly learning CAD (in Fusion, mainly).  And I made a couple simple parts that I don't believe I have seen published before.  So, I thought iI would share them with everyone.

 

First is the middle foot on the bottom of the IIgs monitor.  I have a couple monitors and they were all missing these except for one still barely hanging on.  So, I reproduced this and printed it in TPU for a slightly rubber-ish feel:

Apple //+ issue

Greetings

 

I have two Apple //+ systems, one functions fine and verifies the 3 floppy interface cards and 2 floppy drives are working.

 

The second //+ system fails to boot the floppy interface cards therefore no floppy drive access.

 

Any clues or suggestions on what to try or look for to troubleshoot?

Building a DIN8 to DB25 serial cable for ImageWriter II printer

 I tried to build a DIN8 to DB25 serial cable to connect an Apple ImageWriter II printer to my Apple IIe with a super serial card. I followed the interface spec in ImageWriter II technical reference manual to make the cable but it doesn't work. The printer passed self test and loopback test. The super serial card works with ADT Pro. So I assume the issue is probably the cable.

Below is the spec that I followed.

DIN8              DB25

1    DSR         6,8

1    DCD        6,8

2    DTR         20

3    RxD          3

4    GND         7
