IIe Platinum Video Help

Submitted by Zan8675 on October 27, 2013 - 7:35am

Good morning (at least it is for me!) Have a IIe Platinum that pushes out video but it is very dim/faint. Tried it on several different monitors and the same result. The monitors all show good video from a variety of II's, including two other Platinums so it is not the monitors or cable used.

Any thoughts as to what I can check/do?

I was always a user, not a builder, so my technical repair skills are limited but willing to learn/try almost anything.

Apple II plus & IIe Vulcan drive. No info, any help?

Submitted by transwarp II guy on October 26, 2013 - 4:29pm

Hello everyone. I just got a cool Vulcan hard drive set up in a IIe. It is physically in superb condition.

It makes a high pitch winning sound when turned on. The screen shows wavy lines. I have experienced this same screen with bad power supplies on regular apple IIe's. The cards LED lights up red.

My initial guess is the power supply is screwed. But of course this may change with additional info...

I have to say I would not have started a thread had I found some info on the net. I searched several topics and have found no info my self.

Sound Circuitry test failed??? Sound seems to work on the system not sure what this is refering too?

I know there is a bunch of hardware diagnostics software out there, but I'm seeking software that tests/adjusts calibration of a joystick on an Apple IIc Plus. Anyone know where I can find it? Thanks! Smile

DISK II PROM P5 replacement

Submitted by nama_chari on October 22, 2013 - 10:06am

Hi all,
So I have a spare Disk II card with a missing P5 PROM. I thought I could get a TI 28LA22N PROM and program it with my DATA I/O 29b and the Unipak 2.

First I tried the 3410127A.bin file from here:
http://www.applelogic.org/APPLEASICs.html

But it still didn't work, so I tried the 341-0027.bin file from here:
http://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20Project/Interface%20Cards/Disk%20Drive%20Controllers/Apple%20Disk%20II%20Interface%20Card/ROM%20Images/

Apple II paint color is it Pantone 453 or 454?

Submitted by Corey986 on October 20, 2013 - 3:05pm

Ok I got a pantone chart, bought the uncoated which may have been a mistake because the paint is flat, but it's still a usable chart.

So I checked my rev 0 apple II and it looks like the drive is a dead on match to pantone 454, the machine is a little lighter than 454, but not much it might just be lightening over time.

453 is way darker than the rev 0 and slightly darker than the drive.
