Apple ][GS newbie questions

Submitted by KLund1 on January 22, 2015 - 3:18am

Hi all,
A few months ago I got my very first Apple computer, a llgs!! I know nothing about Apples. I got the book 'The New Apple II Users Guide' and it is very helpful. My system is a ROM 3 with 2x 3.5" , & 1x 5.25" FDD's. The system powers up and says 'check system devices'. None of the 3.5" or 5.25" disks that came with it boot. I get the same message for each disk. I do not have a prodos, or gs/os disk. I would like both OS diskzs. I could not find 'real' disks on an ebay search (though I may be using the wrong terms in the search). I have a Win98 machine with a 360k 5.25" drive, working USB connection, and internet access. I have lots of 5.25" blank disks. My main multiboot (XP thru Win10) only has USB, & BD/RW.
How can I get the IIgs up and running with an OS and some games?
Thanks

DUODISK/UNIDISK CABLE UPGRADE KIT and EDD Plus card?

Submitted by Olivier G on January 19, 2015 - 1:47pm

Apologies in advance for a crosspost, but I didn't get any reply on the Vintage Computers forum, so I'm trying my chance here too in case this post gets to a different audience.

Reading the EDD documentation posted on http://apple2info.net/images/0/04/EDD4Plus_Manual_ua2.pdf, I see that if my drive setup is a DuoDisk, I would need a "DUODISK/UNIDISK CABLE UPGRADE KIT".

Why is transwarp not emulating/adding at least 128K of AUX RAM even when there is only 64K of aux RAM plugged in //e?

Submitted by georgel on January 10, 2015 - 3:01pm

Why is transwarp not emulating/adding at least 128K of AUX RAM even when there is only 64K of aux RAM plugged in //e's AUX slot? After all, transwarp has the neccessary dedicated shadow RAM already on board. On the other hand TW adds/emualted a 16K language card when there is no one in the Apple. The same principle should apply to auxiliary RAM. Am I missing something?

Compute! Magazine type-in programs

Submitted by AquaHelix on January 6, 2015 - 7:28am

Hi all,

I recently discovered that the Internet Archive has a full collection of COMPUTE! Magazine, and since I have fond memories of typing in their programs when I was a kid, I was thinking it would be nice to type in the full collection of Apple II programs so that they're preserved for the future. There's a few disks on Asimov, but nowhere near everything. So I have a few questions:

On Roku: some local TV interviews with Woz

Submitted by TowMater on January 2, 2015 - 1:22am

I stumbled on the KMVT channel on Roku that has a couple of interviews with Woz and colleagues. I think KMVT might be a Mountain View public access channel.
