Need help sourcing correct paint for Apple IIe base plate

Submitted by Verault on March 18, 2019 - 9:32am

I recently saved/bought a pallet of Apple II computers that were from a school put into storage decaded ago and forgotten. Apparently the roof caved in and these apples have seen better days. Due to my compulsion im determined to restore as many as I can (albeit slowly). I picked a particularly bad one out of the pile to determine what I am dealing with.

Apple IIc problem

Submitted by clockchip on March 17, 2019 - 5:37pm

Hello,

 

maybe someone can help me to identify the problem of my Apple IIc.

 

When I start the computer he try to access the Floppy but he will not boot from it => Message "check disk"

Also random characters are appearing on the screen.

Sometimes after start it shows a prompt, and many random charaters appearing on the screen.

I attached also some screenshots to this message to show you the problem in a more visual way.

 

best regards

Clockchip

"Digital Electronic Systems" Hard_Drive questions

Submitted by jlafleur on March 16, 2019 - 1:51pm

I very recently procured two of these devices, both with interface card (however one missing its ribbon cable)

I haven't tested them with my Apple ][+ yet but I figured I would ask here if anyone had some suggestions.

They appear to have been serviced sometime in the early 1990s.

The web didn't pull up much beyond press releases from 1983...

The model of these is "WAP10" which suggests a 10mb rather than the 5mb drive listed in the release.

Where can I find Spectrum Internet Suite

Submitted by portwally on March 8, 2019 - 5:19am

Hi,

 

finally I got time to install my Uther Card and looked for the SIS. Unfortunately the one one Geoff Weiss page seems to be corrupt. The other link on MacGui also does not exist anymore.

 

Does anyone have a compiled version for me?

 

Thanks

Walter

VidHD Power Requirements

Submitted by Mrarkus on March 4, 2019 - 3:19pm

As the title says, what are the power requirements for the VidHD card? Is it designed to work with a stock IIgs power supply (and extra RAM and Microdrive Turbo), or is it something that should be/can be powered sepaately or used with an upgraded power supply?

Apple II+ Astec power supply case

Submitted by dfnr2 on March 1, 2019 - 3:08am

Hi All,

 

Recently, I experienced a bit of a disaster:  A 9-foot high shelf gave out, and several heavy retrocomputers crashed to the floor, some of them hitting my workbench first.

I happened to have an Apple II on the bench for repairs.  The power supply (Astec AA11040B) was out and disassembled on the bench, and the case got smashed.  The supply itself is repaired and working.  Does anyone happen to have an Astec case in decent shape they may be able to part with?

Apple IIc displays B&W on monitor but color on TV but monitor displays color when connected to other devices.

Submitted by toploaderleo on February 26, 2019 - 6:48pm

Hello so I have an Apple IIc, Model No. A2S4000 & a Color Monitor IIC, Model No. A2M4043

For some reason when I connect the computer to the monitor it only displays Black & White. I connected the computer to several TV sets & they all display in color just fine. I then tried connecting the monitor to a Sega Genesis & the monitor & it displayed color just fine. The TV & Genesis I used were NTSC, the Apple IIc & monitor I assume are NTSC as well but I do not know for sure.
