Apple II

Is this rare, and does anybody know anything about it?

Submitted by transwarp II guy on October 8, 2013 - 2:30am

It's a " MicroStar II " cover on an apple ii plus. I've been around Apple's for a while and I have NEVER seen this before.

It's a Memory Lighting Control panel apparently. So I have a basic idea of what it does, I was just curious if any one owns a complete set up, and if anyone knows the history of this thing?

Is it possible to run gs os on an original II or II plus

Submitted by megadrive4511 on October 7, 2013 - 5:01pm

I am wondering if it is possible to run gs os on an apple II or II plus. I am aware of the expansion for the II e but could you do it on an old II.

Is it a II, or a II Plus?

Submitted by gsmcten on October 6, 2013 - 6:37pm

This item just came up for auction on eBay...

My question is this:

It has an 8030 Motherboard, looks to be a Rev 7.
Could it be a II Plus with a II Lid?

Corrupt Hardcore/Computist DVD on asimov ?

Submitted by Keatah on October 6, 2013 - 7:33am

While looking through the Hardcore Computing/Computist archive on Asimov, I noted that you can't read issues 65 through 92 in the pdf folder.

From Asimov:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.com/pub/apple_II/documentation/magazines/misc/Computist.iso.zip

Inside the .iso image:
\pdfs\hardcore.computist

Issues 65 through 91 are corrupt.

The corrupted issues can be found here:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.com/pub/apple_II/documentation/magazines/hardcore_computist/

And #90 and #91? Whatever happened to those?

Problem booting UCSD Pascal from CFFA3000

Submitted by dramsey on October 5, 2013 - 6:56pm

Finally got my CFFA3000 and am having serious fun. But there is one problem: it doesn't seem to want to boot my UCSD Pascal disk images, freshly made from the boot and work disks I use.

I first tried with the CFAA in Slot 5, which resulted in the message "MUST BOOT FROM SLOT 6". Oh, yeah...that sounds like something I remember from 30 years ago.

So I move the card to Slot 6. But when I boot, it instantly crashes into the monitor if I try to boot from my Pascal disk.

I know the card supports this, so what am I doing wrong?

Bad Super Serial Card?

Submitted by daveculp on October 2, 2013 - 10:46pm

I acquired a "non-working" Apple IIe some months ago and in the 10 minutes a week I get to work on it I have been getting it going. In reality it was just dirty and required a new power supply. It now seems to (mostly) work and boots ProDos from the Duodisk I have.

Apple IIe power light out on my keyboard

Submitted by dafivehole on September 28, 2013 - 10:28am

I apologize if this has been covered before but I couldn't find an answer anywhere... any suggestions on how to fix this? Is it as simple as replacing the light (bulb)? Where would one acquire such a bulb?

Thank you,
Roger
