Language Card + rev 0 Apple II?

Submitted by Link on July 29, 2012 - 1:21pm

I have a rev 0 machine with 48K + 16K Apple Language Card - and nothing else. No disk controller, nothing. All other slots are empty.

When I power up with the Language Card installed, I get an all-white screen in lo-res graphics mode. Pressing RESET takes me to Integer BASIC.

When I power up without the Language Card, I get the same all-white screen. Pressing RESET takes me to the monitor, and CTRL-B from there takes me to Integer BASIC.

Differences between Disk II models?

Submitted by Link on July 27, 2012 - 8:53am

Can anyone enlighten me on the internal differences between the older Disk II's (rainbow cable) and the newer ones (grey cable)?

The mechanisms sound different when in operation... and I've found, over the years, that the older ones seem to be both more reliable and better at extracting data from flaky disks.
