Anyone remember this game?

Submitted by Myndale on August 7, 2019 - 2:45am

I hope this isn't too off-topic, but I've been trying unsuccessfully for many years to track down a particular Apple ][ game that I remember from 1981. It was my first ever experience on a personal computer and very instrumental in what ultimately became a 16-year-long career as a professional game developer.The game itself was text-based graphics and you flew an airplane delivering mail from airport to airport. The "camera" (for want of a better word) was in front looking back.

Stupid Apple II Plus RFI keyboard headache.

Submitted by NovellNetware on August 4, 2019 - 5:34pm

So as posted before. I have a stupid rfi keyboard that has issue. While using it and having the keys get better. The return key stopped working. So I opened it up, cleaned it and put it back together. (Not sure how some of the plastic line up pins broke. But they did. Anyway all the keys worked except once again the return key. So I opened it up again today and stuck it back together. That was even a bigger mistake. Now more keys don't work. So besides the ps2 / apple ii keyboard adaptor. I'm going to get one. What is the best approch or replacement for this keyboard?

Apple III won't boot, pattern on screen

Submitted by diskette on August 4, 2019 - 2:12pm

All,

I purchased an Apple III which displays the attached screen rather than booting.

I  tried the following to no avail:

- reseated all chips, including all memory chips

- cleaned up some rust  and  residue wherever I could see on chips (some was around floppy connection; worst looking  was chip 341-0035-00 which, however, seems to be keyboard encoder, so probably not the culprit)

Any ideas how to proceed fixing this machine are welcome.

IIc+ internal drive being seen as external! How to change?

Submitted by Word Juggler on August 4, 2019 - 12:25pm

This may be an issue of using System Utilities version 2.1.1 on an Apple IIc Plus.  However, what happens is that it thinks that the internal 3.5" drive is the first external one!

 

For example, I pick choice 7 from the menu:  Identify and Catalog a Disk.  It asks me:  Where is your disk?  The first choice is BUILT-IN DRIVE, but that looks to the attached 5 1/4" external drive.  If it's not attached, it balks, not finding the disk or drive.    I have to select choice #2:  EXTERNAL 3.5" DRIVE for it to read the internal drive!  

 

Weird, eh?!

machine ID?

Submitted by Howard59 on August 3, 2019 - 12:57pm

Hi from an apple novice, who had one forty years ago and put it away soon after... Finally got it  out of store and it all seems to work, (after replacing the exploding PSU capcitor) Question is what exactly is it?

Photos attached - I have the original box importing it into Europe and it says Euro mod plus

The mother board is dated 1978 and is Rev 4

Serial number is 30272 and the board has a sticker with 8020 on it.

the keyboard does not have the open/close Apple keys. The screen comes up Apple][ only

Schematics for a Apple IIe international NTSC motherboard - 820-0188-E

Submitted by mamejay on August 2, 2019 - 1:57am

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have a schematic for a Apple IIe International NTSC board?  820-0188-E

 

Want to know what the solder jumpers are for.

I am in Australia and managed to get a proper NTSC crystal and now have colour on my CRT TV but cannot get colour on my other LCD screens which do support NTSC.

Wondering if the solder jumpers have anything to do with setting the system correctly to NTSC

 

Thanks

Proper cable for ADTPro with Apple IIc+ and MacBook Air? Or, iBook G4?

Submitted by Word Juggler on August 1, 2019 - 2:39pm

            It's been several years since I've done ADTPro transfers and my equipment has changed.  I'm now using a MacBook Air.  What happened was that I discovered that my venerable Keyspan Twin Serial Adapter no longer works with modern Macs.  I'm on OS 10.12.6 Sierra.  I've ended up with several questions.  This gets a little long (apologies for that) as I left in details of what worked and didn't as a help to others in the future.

 

Question 1:  I was wondering if there is a MiniDin8 to USB cable that would work for connecting the IIc+ and the Air.

Apple II plus - yet another scrambled display issue

Submitted by gjbl on July 28, 2019 - 5:25am

Hi everyone,

I have been following this forum for some time now, but this is my first post. Recently I bought an Apple ][+ from an auction site. After some work on the PSU I was able to proceed to the garbage screen phase :-) What happens is:

1) The power is fine, the keyboard lamp lights,2) there is a beep,3) the screen looks as attached, the contents are more or less random, but some 8-column pattern emerges,4) pushing reset on the keyboard does nothing.

14.31818MHz Crystal required - Can anyone help?

Submitted by mamejay on July 23, 2019 - 7:52pm

Hey everyone,

I am trying to convert a couple of Apple IIe NTSC international motherboards to true NTSC.

I live in Australia and as such cannot get colour without replacing the crystal.

I understand that the system was very picky with the crystal and it needed to be just right.

Can anyone sell me a know working crystal or 2?  If so please message me.

 

Thank you!!
