Apple II

I have a //c serial to parallel/centronics converter box from when I was a kid.  I still have the matching parallel printer, but sadly it doesn't look like the ribbons are available any more.  I have since acquired an ImageWriter II (which does have ribbons available), so I don't need to use this.  But I recently picked up some Epson FX compatible Commodore printers that have both the Commodore serial and centronics ports on them (and have ribbons available).  I was thinking about testing out printing from my //c to one of them.

I've been hunting around for a while now and have only found the IIe technical reference manual First printing (1985) on every site where I've come across it so far.  While it covers the majority of the IIe Enhanced information of the Platinum, I see it does not talk about the CF ROM (which I'm assuming is the single-chip combination of the older CD/EF ROMs).  As I'm just starting out, that's the only glaring difference I've noticed while poking around, but I assume there are probably other differences I have not learned about yet.

Hi All,

Loving my //e but I'm thinking I want to add a IIGS to the mix. I want to try to figure out what will I need on top of my current setup to get it working, as most IIGS systems I have seen for sale are incomplete.

My //e has a color composite monitor, DuoDisk (with the 19-pin connector), two Disk ][ drives (with the 20-pin card), FloppyEmu, and a null modem connection from my Super Serial Card with the RetroFloppy cables to my PC for ADTPro.

I assume I need the following for the IIGS, what am I missing? :

1. RGB monitor with cable

After adding a LOT of init's, CDEV's. and Finder extras, I screwed up the teach application. I tried to re-install it, buit no dice, same problem.

Anybody seen this before, and is there a CDEV that I can use to restore the proper 640 desktop graphics mode without exiting to the monitor?

If not, how can I do that WITH the monitor? Very hard to find this info.
