Hi everyone,

I have a Rev. A Unenhanced Apple IIe with a low serial number around 5000. I may also have the original box and an early 80col card.

Does anyone know what a system like this is worth?

Thanks,

Will

Apple II FTP Server

Submitted by k4lmp on December 1, 2012 - 10:28pm

I have quite a few files for Apple II's, that I have collected from the internet. I am in the process of going through them all right now, and organizing them, and changing the names so you can tell what they are more easily. I have an unused server that is set up as an FTP server, that I would be willing to put all these files on, and give access to everyone on the board. If this is something that you guys would be interested in, let me know.

Apple IIGS Ram Expansion questions

Submitted by robbo007 on November 30, 2012 - 2:36am

Hi all,
Just getting my Apple IIGS together and Im having some problems loading GS/OS. I have a 1MB expansion card installed but I'm not sure if its working correctly. Under the RAM disk options I see the following:

Total RAM in use: 84K
Total RAM free: 171K

Does this seem correct? Or should I be see other values? Is this were I should see the Expansion 1MB?

Thanks,
Rob

Apple IIgs Ram Expansion

Submitted by k4lmp on November 23, 2012 - 1:27pm

I have searched for this, with not much success. I was wondering what are my options for expanding the RAM on my Rom01 IIgs? I already have the 1mb RAM expansion plugged in the expansion slot. I notice that ProDOS 16 uses most of that memory. I would like to have a sizeable RAM drive, but I think the maximum I can have under ProDOS 16 is 384K, and that would eat up ALL of my memory. I am pretty sure the Apple IIe expansions that plug into the 7 expansions slots of the IIe won't work, as, I am assuming they are 8-bit, as opposed to the 16-bit IIgs.

CFFA3000 WOW!

Submitted by k4lmp on November 22, 2012 - 1:35am

I've had my CFFA3000 in my Apple IIgs for awhile now, and have played around with it a little. Tonight was the first night that I have had a chance to really mess with it, a lot. All I can say is WOW! This is a great piece of hardware. It is really versatile. I downloaded an HDV file that I had been using, but tonight, I created a blank 32mb disk image on my CF card, and installed a fresh copy of System 6.0.1 from disk images on my USB drive. I wish someone made something like this for an Amiga.

RAMWorks II Card

Submitted by k4lmp on November 20, 2012 - 3:58pm

I was thinking of buying a RamWorks II card with 1mb of memory to go in my auxilary slot. My question is, will it work with my existing 1mb ram expansion that is in slot 5, giving me a total of 2mb of memory? I asked the guy selling the card, but he had never heard of a ram expansion that would work in anything other than the aux slot. Thanks in advance for the help.

Using standard drives with a Disk II card

Submitted by PhillHS on November 20, 2012 - 10:05am

Hi all,

Does a circuit exist for attaching a standard shugart / PC drive to an Apple 2 via a Disk II card ?

I have seen pictures on the net of one Teac drive that seemed to have a converter board with a couple of LS type chips to convert the 20 pin disk II signals to the standard 34 pin shugart signals. Does a schematic of this card exist, it looked relatively simple.

here : http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2009-03-23-teac-apple-disk-drive-repairs.htm[url]

Looking at the two interfaces, it seems that the main problem would be converting the Apple 4 wire stepping signals to the shugart step and direction signals.

Cheers.

Phill.
