What 5.25in disks for an Apple ii Europlus?

Submitted by Atomtan on February 16, 2011 - 4:30am

Hi

Please forgive what might be a stupid question, but I finally managed to resurrect my machine and need to purchase some extra floppy disks for it (it uses the original Apple drive that came with the machine). Is it OK to try HD disks in these machines, I have read warnings that these can cause issues in old drives, so should I only look for DSDD disks? After all the time to get it going, I don't want to make a bad choice on disks.

Thanks for any guidance.

Karel the Robot disk image?

Submitted by gmontag451 on February 12, 2011 - 7:44pm

In high school during the mid 80s, I used Richard Pattis' Pascal primer 'Karel the Robot,' and although I've never programmed in Pascal, the lessons learned have stuck with me since. Several months ago I picked up a copy of Pattis' companion book and found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable read!

DOS 3.3 utility to free up track 2 sectors?

Submitted by DMahalko on January 30, 2011 - 2:37pm

Does anyone know of a utility on Asimov for DOS 3.3 that can edit the volume bitmap, to free up unused sectors in track 2?

DOS 3.3 does not fully occupy the first three tracks (0,1,2) and only uses about 8 of the sectors in track 2, though by default the volume bitmap marks the entire track as in use.

It is possible to mark those extra sectors as available for program storage, though it's very hard to do by hand with a sector editor.

Restoring my Apple ii Europlus

Submitted by Atomtan on January 23, 2011 - 9:41am

Hi I am a Newbie here and forgive me for asking the question I have seen in various places across this site and the web.

Back in the 1981, as a teenager I really wanted an Apple ii but ended up with a PET (which I still have, and still runs). Years passed and I never forgot the ii and as age and nostalgia took hold, I felt I would waste a little money and buy one. Here is the UK, they don’t seem to come up too often but I found an Apple ii Europlus, with an Apple monitor and two disk drives on ebay and took the plunge knowing it was only a partial runner.
