Submitted by resman on March 31, 2010 - 8:09am

Years ago, you may have seen this announcement about Java running on an Apple //c:

Initially looked like they had pulled it off, but after a brief inspection it was revealed for the April Fools joke it was.

This is no joke.

IIc external Prairie Pack

Submitted by vapor on March 27, 2010 - 12:43pm

I have a Prairie Pack I am trying to get up and running on one of my IIc systems. I was wondering if anyone out there has any manuals, specs or other information to help me get this thing up and, specifically, in finding the correct battery replacement (25 year old battery is obviously dead now).

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Crazy Apple II Printing Question

Submitted by Simon27 on March 26, 2010 - 6:57am

So I was looking at this Apple II Epson parallel printer card on eBay and noticed that the connector on it is exactly the same as the one on the back of my 10 year old Epson photo 870 printer.

Is there even the remotest chance that the (relatively) new printer could be used with an Apple II!?

Looking for clues and some help with a compact flash card for the Apple II.

Submitted by A2forever on March 24, 2010 - 5:32am

Back in the day when Dune BBS was going strong , this was back in the 80's , the board was sold to a guy who I think lived in Cucamunga or Rancho Cucamunga? Ring a bell to anyone that may have lived in that area or remembers this? I think the boards name was changed also , his alias was The Wrench and I think he called it The Repair Shop? Just hoping that this would strike a clue for someone who remembers , you see this guy possibly still has the original Greymater Hard Drive that ran the board . We would like to see if he still has it stored away somewhere....

Hi

Does anyone in the UK still repair II+ or Europlus micros?

I have 2 x Europlus & 1 x Plus, all of which display garbage on startup.

Any links appreciated.

Just got a //c

Submitted by Zwilnik on March 15, 2010 - 7:26am

About 24 years after seeing one and deciding my old Europlus was in need of replacing I've finally got a working Apple //c with the green screen monitor, PAL modulator and even a Woz signed mouse.

It powers up fine, but until I can find where I stored my ancient collection of Apple ][ disks (and assuming they still work) the only thing I can get on screen is the Check Disk text.

Is there a key combi to bypass the disk boot and drop to the old command line so I can mess around with Applesoft, do a call -151 and play the "how many opcodes can you remember" game.
