[IIe Platinum] Getting started?

Submitted by seanephram on May 27, 2019 - 9:49pm

Hey all, 

 

Newcomer here. Do we have a section for getting started?

 

I've just acquired a IIe platinum with a 655-0101 (Uni/Duo) disk controller and an 80COL/64k expansion card (quite the find!) and while I am already having a blast typing up little programs and games in AppleSoft BASIC as my dad used to, I'm here for any and all suggestion on anything and everything a seasoned fan would have on their to do list.

A new IIgs 4MB RAM card?

Submitted by freitz on May 27, 2019 - 8:26am

During a recent browse on eBay I stumbled upon a 4MB RAM card for the IIgs I was unaware of: The GW4201A by a company called Garret's Workshop.

Has anyone bought this card? The price of $35 is very interesting, compared to the $60+ for similar cards.

Apple 3.5 inch Unidisk Drive Analog Card Schematic/Repair Advice?

Submitted by DistantStar001 on May 18, 2019 - 11:20pm

So I have two Apple 3.5 inch Unidisk drives. One works fine, but the eject motor doesn't push the disc out all the way, but I can live with that. The other won't work at all. When I connect it to my //e, and inert a boot disc, the light flashes, then nothing. I've tracked the issue to the analog card in the drive, as when I swapped the drive itself between the two, the failure remained with the defective board.

Out of interest, does anyone have a link to a PCB layout for designspark (or other KiCad maybe) for an Apple II card ?

 

Suprising, but I cant find one to download, so will have to make one from scratch, but im sure someone has done it before and would appreciate saving the work if its not too cheeky :)

Slots wont work

Submitted by Gary C on May 16, 2019 - 10:48am

 

 I have been getting my spare motherboard up and running over the last few weeks using an old ATX PSU and an arduino to interface a PS/2 keyboard.

Faults so far have been a failed 6502 (address bus all at 3.3V) and one 4116 ram chip (output stuck high) and now the board starts up and works fine. Ran a basic memory test and that looks good, can save and load programs . Loaded and ran galaxians from a wav file through the cassette interface so it cant have much wrong with it.

IIgs image formats

Submitted by BackOfTheBeerCooler on May 13, 2019 - 9:55pm

Anyone know the image format(s) used by DeskMaker for the IIgs? Photoshop (CC version on a modern Mac) seems to be able to convert to most any format, but image size, specific format, etc. seem to be eluding me... I know to RTFM, but where's the manual for this stuff these days?

CCS 7720 Parallel Interface Manual ?

Submitted by tokabln on May 10, 2019 - 7:03am

Is there anybody willing (having the above card including the manual) to scan and upload the manual ? It seems to be that this is not available at the internet.

 

Many thanks
