Help for apple II?

Submitted by smileyranger on March 13, 2012 - 11:23pm

When I put in a disk in the drive on my IIe, and I can hear it whirring, why wouldn't it be showing up on the screen?

(I know this probably has an equally simple answer, but I have never used an apple II in my life )

Need help from you guys. I have an old CMS hard drive. But it's missing the ribbon cable that connects to the controller card itself. Does anyone know where I can pick one up?

Colour output PAL Apple IIe ???

Submitted by robbo007 on March 7, 2012 - 7:12am

Hello all,
Could someone elaborate on this entry I found regarding the info on the German Apple IIe? Is this model capable of displaying colour via the onboard video output? Or do I need a graphics card of some sort?

Text not appearing correctly Apple IIe

Submitted by robbo007 on March 6, 2012 - 4:31pm

Hello all,
I picked up an Apple IIe off ebay and it looks like something is wrong. When I switch the Apple IIe boot up text is displayed as: Apple UY

All other text is wrong. Basic prompt, games like Ultima IV. I removed all expansion cards just in case and same problem.

Any ideas whats wrong?? I rung a system test and things look fine except I get no "SYSTEM OK" I get "IEPLEL MI"

Is there s chip that controls text output or a jumper?

I wonder if Steve Jobs labeled my Apple II motherboard...?

Submitted by epoxy2600 on March 4, 2012 - 12:09am

It's Saturday night, I'm home with a cold, the kids are asleep, and I'm surfing the net...when I come across a link to an article about Jerry Manock, the industrial designer hired by Steve Jobs back in early 1977 to design the case of the Apple II:

Old photo of Jobs and Woz at the Apple II

Submitted by epoxy2600 on March 2, 2012 - 5:29pm

I really like this photo of the two of them during "happier days" early on in the life of Apple. I'd like to print out a copy to display along with my very early Apple II motherboard.
Does anyone have a copy of this that is higher resolution than 1024x796? Or know what the original source of the photo is?

Thanks!
Howie
