Stackable storage box for Apple II systems?

Submitted by epoxy2600 on August 23, 2013 - 2:58pm

I have several original A2S1 Apple II systems, and for space reasons I keep them stacked one atop another in my closet when not being used. Ideally I'd like to find a perfect, inexpensive plastic storage box that each system could be kept in to protect from dust and scratches. If the boxes are molded to allow stacking, then even better! The tricky part is an Apple II dimensions are 18"(457mm)x15.25"(387)x4.5"(113) so while there are certainly boxes that are big enough, all the ones I've seen are a few inches larger than necessary for this specific purpose.

Kickstarter-"The First Apple"

Submitted by gsmcten on August 22, 2013 - 6:41pm

Good evening all,

For those of you who do not know, there was a Kickstarter Funding Project to produce a book called "The First Apple" by Bob Luther.

I contributed to the project and received one of the books, along with a sketch by Ron Wayne.

The story is about how Bob obtained his Apple 1 and his search to find the original owner. There are many interviews and stories concerning the beginnings of Apple and how one of the first Apple 1's was sold out of Steve Jobs garage.

Appraise my card! (AD-DA-C maybe)

Submitted by tkh on August 20, 2013 - 12:58am

Hello there, good people!

Recently, I just got this card. I can sense a great potential coming from this card.
However, I don't know (yet) what it is.

I know for the fact that it is a two-way digital-analog converter, but that's about it.
Is there anyone out here who can help me identify this item?

Apple UDC problem (Universal Disk Controller)

Submitted by transwarp II guy on August 17, 2013 - 4:09pm

I just recently got a hold of a UDC card, and I'm just now getting around to testing it.

I have only been able to test it with a standard Apple 5.25 drive. Instead of regularly booting like it should, It makes a loud revving noise and then comes up with the following message:

"Error Number: 40

Boot error. Please check your
diskette and disk drive."

So far I have checked very minor things and have come up with no clues.

Any ideas?

Pictures coming soon...

Problems on Apple IIe unenhanced PAL 240V

Submitted by Tyrins on August 16, 2013 - 9:41am

Hi to everybody,
I need Your help/suggestion:
I bought an Apple IIe unenhanced and I tried to switch it on (I live in a 220V country). The screen has random characters inverse and normal. When I press CTRL-RESET I see a blank screen with APPLE ][ and the cursor. I can insert applesoft commands but the "INT" command is not recognized (SYNTAX ERROR). I tried with self test (CTRL-CLOSE APPLE-RESET) but I can see only random characters and sometime the text IOU FLAG ER:05.

RapidFire

Submitted by jeffmazur on August 13, 2013 - 12:39pm

Here is some info on the RapidFire - a small board that attached to the Game Port of the Apple II and made the button pulse rapidly. It turned your "fire" button into a machine gun for better gaming scores and less wear and tear on the button (and your finger!).
