DOS.MASTER; Integer BASIC

Submitted by grimakis on February 23, 2019 - 4:10pm

Hi all,

I'm not sure you guys are familiar with DOS.Master, but it is a program by Glen E. Bradon that allows DOS3.3 sectors to exist on a ProDos formatted Disk. This allows you to launch DOS 3.3 from ProDos, with it the ability to run DOS 3.3 software.

 

I've always wanted to be able to run IntBasic from ProDos, so this seemed like a reasonable middle ground. Have this DOS3.3 partition on my ProDos drive. Enter from ProDos, load IntBasic, use it, return to ProDos when done.

RAMFACTOR problems

Submitted by Spectre on February 23, 2019 - 7:25am

I have a deceased RamFactor I'd like to bring back to life.  I was lucky enough to have a loaner donor card come my way and after some chip pulling and gnashing of teeth it was discovered to have both a marginal eprom and a dead pal.  The eprom is not much of an issue, I'm managed to get a read out of it, and I have a copy of the one from the donor card.

Apricorn Super Serial Pro card - help?!

Submitted by jlafleur on February 19, 2019 - 4:12am

I bought one of those Apricorn Super Serial Pro cards.

 

I can't find ANY info on this card at all. I know it's a serial card of some kind for apple II, but I have no manual of any kind.

I'm mostly curious on how to connect a db9/db25 connector to it, I don't want to assume anything just looking at the card.

I've been digging for information for a year now and it's as if the card doesn't exist.

It's NOS, from ebay, bought it assuming I'd eventually find info, but just haven't found a damn thing.

Help me find the Apple IIe game?

Submitted by binga30 on February 18, 2019 - 5:14pm

Hi all,

 

I have been trying to remember a game I played a lot as a kid back in the early 90s but my memory is not serving well.

It was a graphical game, where you were kind of on an adventure. I remember trolls being in the game, and you had to perform tasks or quests such as:

- collecting block shapes in the back of a truck

- navigate a lake or sea where the wind direction was shown on the water

- match up animal footprints in a maze

Apple IIe: list of capacitors

Submitted by Manuherb on February 18, 2019 - 3:34pm

II bought my Apple IIe P.A.L.. made in Ireland - 820-0073-B, in the early 1980s.  Some years later, faced with the option of buying a Mac or an “IBM compatible”, I opted for the latter. Now I’d like to get the Apple working again.

Edit: Found. It wasn't the one I had hoped .

 

Hey guys, I'm trying to find out the make and model of this monitor.

ALF MC16 clone

Submitted by stynx on February 16, 2019 - 11:50am

I have finally made a near 100% clone of the MC16. The card was used in the early version of the Alpha Syntauri before switching to the Mountain Computer Music System. 5 Cards can be used with the Alpha Syntauri software and 3 cards with the ALF software.

The card has some differences to the original but it has the same components and the same Layout.

 

Bugs in the current Layout:

- One connection from DAC3 to the opamp is missing, resulting in a missing voice. Solution: solder an airwire.

Apple Imagewriter I

Submitted by grimakis on February 14, 2019 - 10:49am

Hi all,

I noticed that when I print with my ImageWriter(not a Imagewriter II for clarity), when it reaches the end character of a line it kind of trails off. Basically, I believe the paper starts moving up before the final character gets fully printed. Essentially the character ends up warped and partially on to the next line.

Has anyone seen this before, and do you have any suggestions? I can provide additional details if needed.

Serial Pro - ROM Binary

Submitted by grimakis on February 13, 2019 - 11:26am

Hello,

 

For those of you who are familiar with the Serial Pro card from Applied Engineering, it is basically a SSC compatiable card with a real-time clock built in. This card has some ROM on board that looks to be an EPROM.

 

Does anyone know if this ROM has been dumped already? If not, I might be inclined to buy a reader/writer and do it myself.

Apple II+ flashing/intermittent display

Submitted by kellyh on February 13, 2019 - 10:46am

Hello-

I'm a new member ,and new to the world of old Apples so please excuse my ignorance when it comes to any questions or comments I ask or make. :)

Being interested in old computers, I recently picked up a couple II+'s  from a surplus dealer to see if I could learn something new.

I dont have a apple monitor, so I connected it to an old monitor that has a composite input and it seems to function.

The problem I am experiencing is that the displayed output is intermittently turning on and off. Its almost is if there is a bad connection or something.
