Apple /// external drives problem

Submitted by Kingpin on November 7, 2020 - 10:23pm

I have 2 x external floppydrives. If I connect any of them all is fine and they come up as drive 2 and pass tests etc.

 

If I "chain"-connect either of them I get odd results. One drive comes up as drive 4 and the other one doesn't even come up as drive 2 or 3 in that scenario. Also, when accessing the floppydrive both motors and LEDs starts/lits up.

Anyone who's seen this or similar problems when using more than one external floppydrive?

 

Thanks!

Original Merlin

Submitted by decuser on November 6, 2020 - 8:36am

Hi, new forum member here. I'm looking to see if anyone can shed some light on which version of Merlin to use on Virtual ][. I'm preparing to buy an Apple //e for real and want to ramp up to programming on it via Virtual ][. I have found several version of the assembler and don't really know how to compare them - they all kind of look the same to me :). I watched this video:

WTB Apple Monitor /// CRT PCB

Submitted by Verault on November 3, 2020 - 4:13pm

So I have a monitor /// with a good CRT but I need a CRT Board /Analogue board to repair it. The one that came with it was physically broken and damaged (it was stabbed, dont ask.) I just need the board. And if you have them the transformer assembly included. If you have a dead monitor /// and want to part it out please get in touch! Thanks.

Did IIgs games only come on 3.5"?

Submitted by CheshireNoir on November 1, 2020 - 1:53am

Hey Folks,

Now I have a IIgs I was looking around for games. I noticed all the dedicated IIgs games I could easily find were in 800k disk format. Am I correct in thinking all IIgs games were issues in 800k format?

 

I have a BMOW FloppyEmu on the way, so this issue will be moot, but at the moment I'm limited to 5¼ disks (DuoDisk) so I guess no Apple IIgs games for me :-)

WTB Apple /// Internal floppy drive Flapper/Lever

Submitted by Verault on October 30, 2020 - 12:56pm

one of my Apple III internal floppy drives lever/flapper has crumbled to bits. IT was broken and I glued it but its unsalvageable. The internal drive is different from the external Apple III mechanism as it has an angled faceplate and elongated flapper. I know this makes it pretty hard to come by. I am hoping someone has parts or at least a drive they are willing to sell. Please let me know.

Kim's Hyperion 512 CRASHES

Submitted by Timelord on October 29, 2020 - 11:09am

I acquired as Hyperion 512K card from a third party, made by Kim a while back. Yesterday was the first day that I tried to use it, in place of a Saturn 128, or Lang card, and I must report that it is unreliable. Abouit 40% odf the time, ProDOS 2.4.2 loaded, the rest of the time it wither crashed before finishing launch, or alishtly thereafter. 

 

Am I missing something?! 

 

I installed it in Slot 0, and I had a full bank of normal 48K RAM. The LEDs on the card illuminated, indicating that it was in use, but it still crashed more than half of the time.

Sharing: Nearly NOS Apple ][+

Submitted by Timelord on October 29, 2020 - 11:04am

Here are a final photo of my main ][+.

The main system was basically NOS, as it was stored almost unused as an extra system saince 1983 (made in 1982). The Monitor ///+ and its stand match very well, and the Disk ][s have the CP/M Drive A label on s6d1, thanks to macnoyd for finding a drive with that label. (I still need the Softcard Drive A, B C, and D label sheet. If anyone has one, please LMK mas I want to inexpensively reproduce those labels.

 

System Config:ROM X System, with the first rev ROM X plus text ROM.
