Strange formating / adtpro issue.

Submitted by NovellNetware on December 16, 2019 - 9:40pm

I don't know if I have a bad drive or disk to old or what.

 

So when I got the apple back in July it would not boot off of any disks. After a cleaning. It stated working like a champ. So I used the same disks over and over again and then they stopped working. These disks you could see now was worn out with groves it in. No problem vintage 1980's disks. So I decide to grab some more disks. A good old original disk would boot just fine. A true blue apple disk.

Just picked this up. Hopefully it is all good.

Submitted by NovellNetware on December 11, 2019 - 11:22pm

I hope this is legit auction. I just picked this up tonight on e-bay. I'll give everybody the 411 for it. The plan is Take the disk drive, time clock (yes I see the leaky batteries), keyboard, joystick, ram factor and if good the system saver maybe. The cards I don't need is the 16k expansion card, the 80 column card, On a side note for the keyboard. I don't really need it. Just a working one for my apple ii. So anyway. I'll be selling the extra parts to recoup the money. Normally. I can offer it as it not powered on, I can test it and I can do all three.

Bad Unidisk 5.25 analog board.

Submitted by Lee Adamson on December 10, 2019 - 9:52pm

I have a rev 2 unidisk analog board (it's actually out of an Apple Drive 5.25, but I guess they used the same board as the later-rev unidisk).

 

The disk head won't move.  I replaced the board with the same rev board out of an actual Unidisk to fix the problem, but now I want to try to fix this one, as there's nothing wrong with the mechanism of the Unidisk that I stole the working board from.  The enclosure is just really yellowed.

Looking for an early ventless Apple II Rev 0...

Submitted by tradeya on December 7, 2019 - 9:46pm

Does anyone know of someone or have a very early Apple II Rev 0 in good shape with the ventless case? I'd be willing to pay a record price for one. Please let me know if anyone has one for sale or knows of someone who has one. Email is nberger0524@gmail.com. I already own an Apple-1 and a few Apple II Rev 0s (normal condition but not ventless).

 

Thanks!
