Trying to find Avalon Hill Tournament Golf disk image

Submitted by old_hitech on July 7, 2019 - 2:30pm

I am on a golf game binge and have an original disk for the Apple II Avalon Hill Tournament Golf game. I bought this game back in 1980s and remember having fun playing it. But now the game disk will not boot and I cannot play this game. I've looked for a disk image at many Apple II disk repositories and cannot find this one. Anyone out there have a disk image of Avalon Hill Tournament Golf for the Apple II? Thanks!

New Owner of a Apple IIe

Submitted by mbc230 on July 4, 2019 - 12:25am

Hello All....Great forum and glad to be a new member. I am a proud of owner of a recently purchased Apple IIe that I bought off of ebay (Price was right). Well I unboxed the computer. It came with a color monitor (with a broken RCA male end stuck in it. Had to take monitor apart to remove it), CPU was full of rat poop (Seller claimed the computer was in a storage unit (Had to take apart to clean it all out), and came with the dual set top DuoDisk disk drives. So the issue I am seeing is no matter what disk I put into the drives the red light stays on and the video is displaying Apple IIe.

Apple IIe strange issue

Submitted by mamejay on July 3, 2019 - 9:58pm

Hi everyone,

Very new to owning an Apple computer.

I recently got my hands on a couple of Apple IIe computers.

One is working fine the other seemed to be dead. 

Both have boards Logic Board ID: PCB: 820-0188-A (International) - REV: 607-0288-C in them.

I managed to get the non-working one up again.  It had a short to ground on the 12v line which was caused by  a bad 10uf cap.  Replaced that and we have power LED.

Emulating a Disk II via rPi GPIO.

Submitted by Lee Adamson on July 3, 2019 - 12:15pm

So, since I have an rPi in my //e anyway, and since it has plenty of spare GPIO pins, I thought maybe I'd try hooking some of them to a Disk II controller and writing a unix daemon to emulate a floppy drive.  I'd think that the rPi would be fast enough to do it all in software, especially if it was running a realtime kernel......  But I dunno.....

Selling a NEW Apple IIgs: turn it on or not?

Submitted by mnemonic on July 3, 2019 - 2:18am

Hey everyone, I am facing the following dilemma: I have a new, unused Apple IIgs that to my knowledge was never powered on. It is a rev 0 model from 1986, so it is almost 33 years old. I would like to sell this machine and I wonder if I should turn it on for testing at all, which bears the risk of the power supply dying, leaving me with a dead unit. On the other hand, I could sell without testing it, in which case I cannot claim that it is working. Which would probably reduce its value. What are the odds that the power supply dies when I turn it on?

Copying floppys with Apple IIc

Submitted by Tavast on July 1, 2019 - 7:39am

Hi Apple folks,

 

I have Apple IIc with the original package and software disks that I run everyone now and then together with my other vintage computers. Well, I have one very early original Ultima game that I would like to back-up onto another floppy. What is the best way to go about in this, where can I easily find a program that could do this?

 

All help appreciated!

Weird Broken ProDOS

Submitted by TobyJennings on June 29, 2019 - 11:25pm

After I got my old //c working again I went through the box of floppies I had on hand. These were all from the 80s and with a few exceptions were all non-commerical disks that we'd copied from friends or as backups. I set about working backward and bootstrapping from a "known-good" state via ADTPro and set to capturing as many of these disks as I could as archival images.

Warp6 FIDO Gateway

Submitted by Spectre on June 28, 2019 - 12:21pm

Has anyone see or have a FidoNET gateway module for Warp6?  I've never heard of one, and blindly searching hasn't yielded any results. 

Thanks,

Spectre
