The features look awesome:

My last apple iii drive seems to have died. It might be repairable, but in the meantime I was wondering if it is possible to use an Apple II drive with an adapter. I have plenty of those.

It is really frustrating design not to be able to boot the hard disk without a floppy.

I've just upgraded the keyboard on my secondary Apple /// to the Apple ///+ keyboard. I have the keyboard and bezel and obtained the correct encoder ROMs from Vintage Micros.

The system starts to boot, but stops with a SYSTEM FAILURE = $01 message on any boot disk. According to Apple docs, this means "BRK instruction from within SOS", which is pretty useless.

Is there anything I need to do when upgrading the keyboard other than replace the encoder ROM?

Hi,

I sold Apple products from 1982 until 1996. I still have a ROM 3 IIgs and would love to get a copy of the store demo disk that was made to draw attention to the IIgs in stores when played through the Bose roommate Apple speakers.

I have seen disk images of it online, but so far no luck getting anything to work. If anyone has copies or can make me copies, please let me know.

Best Regards,

Jim
