Apple II

Hello. Out of curiosity is there a (general) way to redirect the text output of a program that assumes is running on a //e computer with 80 column card in AUX slot to a Videx Videoterm 80 column card on a ][+ machine? I tried the Apple SCSI card partitioning utility that outputs 80 column text for its console output but on a ][+ machine only odd or even columns of text are seen (probably because the program is blindly writing directly to //e text pages in AUX ram too...). The SCSI card itself is running fine on a ][(plus) computer.

Hi Folks,

I just added the presentations (in PDF format) for a couple of maintenance/repair talks that I made at VCF east during the last couple of years to my Apple II repair pages. There seems to be an increasing number of threads about repairing systems and I figured it might help someone.

http://www.willegal.net/appleii/appleii-repair.htm - look for the links at the end of this page.

To summarize, I think that learning how the system works and troubleshooting through use of proper engineering tools is the most effective way to go.

So I'm always trying to find new things to do with my Apple II. I was talking with a friend about the Microsoft Softcard and I figured it was time I started to explore CP/M. My question is this - Is the MS Softcard good enough for a solid CP/M experience? Anyone have any experience with a CP/M native machine (preference?) Emulator suggestions?

Thanks.
