FujiNet Needs help from SmartPort experts.

Submitted by Thomas Cherryhomes on March 23, 2026 - 10:04pm

@here Ok, I'm going to make a plea.

 

The Apple II FujiNet's smartport interface behaves differently across firmware versions and smartport adapters.

 

We need help to understand _WHY_ and what we're falling short on.

 

We need people to help with a $10 USB logic analyzer and a copy of PulseView to compare the Unidisk 3.5 and other SmartPort devices against our firmwares, and see WHERE we are failing, to understand the timing tolerances, so we can figure out where to focus our efforts on the firmware code.

What is considered to be the best SCSI card to get for the IIgs? And are there any to actively avoid? Thanks!

Need help troubleshooting IIc RAM

Submitted by superbenk on March 15, 2026 - 5:13pm

I got a IIc bare mainboard recently in hopes I could use it to salvage the IWM chip.  I decided I'd give it a try before taking the IWM chip out & it had a couple RAM issues so I took out the bad MT RAM chips that showed up & replaced them with socketed chips from a battery-bombed Z-RAM card I have.  The corrosion from the Z-RAM battery didn't appear to damage the RAM chips.

Attempt to resurrect clone Apple II supply

Submitted by LabRat on March 12, 2026 - 2:01pm

Hello Apple Fritterites . First time poster here on the forums. I'm a software dev by trade, but love to tinker in basic electronics. I have 2 clone PSU's that are non-functional.  I hope to get one (or both) working again, as there's is a ][+ clone PCB that I started to assemble 40+ years ago, that I want to finally complete.  There is zero technical information available ("CHAR-PHON" manufacturing label, and that's it).
