ImageWriter I Issue

Submitted by machan1985 on April 24, 2019 - 3:46am

Good morning. I purchased an original ImageWriter for my Apple IIe, and of course it came with no cables. I figure I need to buy a serial cable and interface card of some sort, but I’m stuck as to what exactly to buy. My IIe is pretty empty on the inside, with only the standard stuff and no serial port apart from the controller port. What should I buy to get up and running?

Europlus Keyboard

Submitted by taos23 on April 20, 2019 - 10:41am
Maybe someone could help with a europlus datanetics keyboard. It's very clean however looks like it's been hot in the past around the connector. All keys work, except 9,U,I,J,comma. Sometimes 7 will post double keys 7B. I've replaced all those switches from a donar datanetics keyboard and same problem which makes me think it's something else on the board. I've heated the main connector solders and tried to clean them up.

No TXD signal Super Serial Card II

Submitted by clumpwork on April 20, 2019 - 6:02am

I recently got a Super Serial Card and installed it on apple II+. I am now trying to network II+ and MacBook with using modem MGR, but I have a problem. The text entered on the mac is displayed on II+. However, the text entered on II+ side has not been sent to macbook. So when I checked the signals on the  card and I found that the TXD signal was not detected.

Next I install the same card on another apple II+ and do the same thing, The card worked fine and communication between computers work perfect.

From these, I conclud that there is a problem with the motherboard of II+.

CFFA3000

Submitted by css on April 12, 2019 - 7:01pm

UPDATE: Went quick. Already sold.

 

For anyone looking for a CFFA3000, just a heads up on one that just went up on eBay. I'm not the seller but just thought I'd spread the word as it's currently out of stock from Rich Dreher @ R&D Automation and he may or may not be producing them in the future (http://dreher.net/?s=projects/CFforAppleII&c=projects/CFforAppleII/main.php).

IIgs with many floppy drives

Submitted by BackOfTheBeerCooler on April 12, 2019 - 6:18pm

Advance apologies if my searching wasn’t thorough enough.

i have a IIgs with two 3.5 drives and two 5.25 drives daisy-chained to the 19-pin external drive port.

theres a CF “hard drive” in slot 7, and I’m trying to connect a Floppy Emu drive emulating a third 3.5 drive. The Floppy Emu doesn’t have a daisy chain port, so I’m looking for advice as to where and how to connect it.

Original AppleWorks floppy disks are write protected?

Submitted by neosunrise on March 30, 2019 - 3:46pm

I have obtained a complete copy of AppleWorks with user guides and books. But I noticed that all three disks have no write protection notch so every time when I started the program, it asked me to remove the write protection tab. Is it normal that these disks came with mo notch at all? How can I use the program?

How to load games on MicroDrive/Turbo

Submitted by Willz06jw on March 30, 2019 - 1:11pm

Howdy and thanks for reading,

 

I have a "new" Apple iiGS with a MicroDrive/Turbo.  I also have a old backup of Adventure in dsk format.

 

Using CiderPress:

When I extract the dsk file to a folder, then extract the contents into a folder on the CF, I can't get the game to start.

It starts fine in AppleWin.

The same goes for Mixed Up Mother Goose.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Will
