Apple II

New Apple IIe owner

Hello,
Just wanting to introduce myself here.
Played Wizardy on a friends Apple IIe back in high school and recently I got
a crazy urge to get it.
On ebay, got a Apple IIe, monitor, dual disk drive delivered to my door for $90
and Wizardry I & II for $30. What a steal.

I'd like to do some BASIC programming as well, being a TRS-80 dude back in the
day, I don't know alot about how Applesoft BASIC is loaded on this system.

Trying to figure out why the +12 wire is at 18V on an apple II clone power supply.

Anybody here ever had a problem where the +12 lead is reading higher then it should? I replaced one of the swollen capacitors to see if that helped but it didn't. All of the other output power leads are in spec(-12v,5v,-5v). Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,

Matt

Drive Two I/O error?

When I got to format a disk on ADT pro, any disk I put in drive 2 shows up as I/O error. It will format them still, but even a disk that has stuff on it or when the drive is empty it still says I/O error. Both drives won't format side two of any floppy either; I get a * sign What could cause this?

I need a ROM card checked for and Apple II clone.

I've been working on a project to get an old Apple II clone running again. It is called "MICRO II". I've been working with another guy that has been having me probe about every chip on the board for shorts and now that we have that taken care of, we are now down to the ROM card. He asked me if I knew anyone with a EPROM programmer and offered to look at it for me but the problem is that he is over in Australia and I'm over here in Florida.

Picked up an ImageWriter II , now what? need some advice.

ok... I just picked up a dot matrix printer , an imagewriter II to be exact. this printer is brand new , but only has the power cord for it. so I need some advice on how to hook it up. I realize that it is going to need some kind of cable to connect from the printer to a printer card. this leads me two my second question... what kind of printer card should I be getting? I want a good one , one that has plenty of buffer on it , would it be a grappler?

MM5740AAE keyboard decoders listed as in stock from a vendor in the UK

I currently have no need for these parts, but am posting this in case someone on the list needs a couple.

These babies are used in the first and second generation Apple ][ keyboards. Those are the keyboards without the separate plug in encoder board. MM5740 keyboard encoders are very sensitive to static electricity and can be easily destroyed. Replacements are extremely hard to come by, but while searching around for Apple 1 parts, I noticed a business in the UK that is listing them as in stock.

My Apple II Collection has moved to it's own host!

Hello all,

My Apple II Collection, hosted at http://www.turbo-2.com/apple/ has been moved to http://www.apple-2.com/

I'll keep the old site (turbo-2.com/apple) active for a while longer, but my eventual plan is to delete it.

I'll probably be updating the new site, rearranging things and making it a little more interesting soon. I'll keep y'all posted!

Thanks!
Craig
