Box for motherboard and power supply?

Submitted by franko on September 26, 2025 - 3:34pm

Has anyone found a convenient box to hold or store an Apple II series motherboard and power supply?

 

I have a system I knocked together from an Apple IIe motherboard to which I added a PSU, a few cards etc. I've had it on a workbench, mounted on nylon standoffs, but it would be nice to put it in some kind of enclosure. Not looking for an original or current-day case (I use a USB keyboard via the RetroConnector). It would be great if it's clear, but not looking to spend a lot. Just a simple box would work.

Last call

I have lots of Apple 2 floppies mostly pirated software and some legit copies most on 5.25.  I have some 3.5 disks with Appleworks and other programs. I have blank 3.5 that can be formatted along with 3 5.25 disk drives. Only 1 works but the others can be used for parts.  My wife gave me the ultimatum - "That shit's gotta go!"So, take a shot and it will only cost you $10 plus shipping for everything.

Submitted by franko on September 26, 2025 - 12:20am

I've installed an A2Pico board in a newly restored Apple IIe, and would be interested in any advice on a couple of issues I've run into using it for Z80-based CP/M.

Recommended sound card

Submitted by Kubbie on September 23, 2025 - 8:40am

I’m looking for a sound card that will output stereo sound on my Apple IIGS. Which one does everyone recommend that had wide compatibility with games? How many games for the IIGS support stereo sound? Do 8bit Apple IIE also support stereo sound if i have the sound card installed?

No-Slot clock for Apple ][+

Submitted by Vegan on September 19, 2025 - 5:10pm

Good morning, I was looking for a schematic to add a no-slot clock to my apple 2+, but it seems that there is not much around other than the adaptation for the 2e version.
Since I also need to replace bad roms, I designed a circuit that does both. I prefer to design things myself rather than buy them already made.
I tried it on breadboard and it seems to work fine in conjunction with Super Serial Card, 80 columns Card and some others. Do you think there could be conflicts in some cases with other peripherals that respond to C000h-C7FFh range?

Silentype printer help

Submitted by retro-tinker on September 19, 2025 - 3:39pm

I just picked up a Silentype printer at a flea market that looks to be in exceptional condition given its age. It even came with a roll of thermal paper (that may or may not be any good.) I connected it to my Apple ///, installed the silentype driver and sent a few commands from Business Basic. It appears to go through all the motions (w/o paper installed) - I see the print head move back and forth and the roller advances as I would expect.

Brain Board II build - EPROM help

Submitted by Stargeezer on September 18, 2025 - 11:10pm

Hello friends:

I am in the process of building a Brain Board II. I have everything assembled, but I am confused about how to program the EPROM.  I have read Mike's manual from the original Brain Board, but I don't quite understand the table about programming the board.  I have 27c128's and 27c256's available. 

Are the values in the columns offsets for each rom file? In other words, when setting up the programmer, do I put the D000 rom at offet 0x1000, rom D800 at offset 0x1800, etc?

Any pointers are most appreciated.

Cheers,

 

mark
