Picked up Apple II Plus, Apple IIe and two UniDisk drives; asking for valuation and identification

Submitted by alexlatham on September 4, 2017 - 12:04am

Hi everyone. I recently picked up an Apple II Plus with the raised power switch, Apple IIe, and a couple UniDisk drives as the previous owner was going to throw them away. I don't know much about earlier Apple computers. Either way, I took them home to see if they worked.

While I don't have any diskettes to test the UniDisk drives, they did do the normal floppy seek. Both models power on and display as normal.

Connecting the Apple IIc to a TV or LCD Monitor

Submitted by MaxTek on August 30, 2017 - 3:20pm

Is there anyway to connect the Apple IIc to a CRT TV, a Flat Screen TV or a Flat Panel Monitor. I have tried using an RCA cable many ways and can't get a single on any of the TVs or Monitors.

Thanks.

Strange problem with Apple IIc Please Help

Submitted by MaxTek on August 30, 2017 - 3:18pm

I have an Apple IIc and I can't get the floppy to spin up "unless" I unplug the floppy cable from the floppy drive slightly. When only 2-3 pins are making contact the floppy spins the disk very nicely and the red disk use light comes on. When I have the floppy cable plugged in all the way I can't get the IIc to make the drive do anything.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Submitted by aigeek on August 28, 2017 - 3:57pm

When I still keep enhancing my IIGS with TWGS, I wonder why there is not a system benchmark software for Apple II family, and do you wanna get one ？

Submitted by tokabln on August 26, 2017 - 7:06am

Dear folks,

I'm looking to find some manual describing the function and set-up of an Apple IEEE-488 Interface card.
I searched the internet already but didn't find a PDF of such a manual.

Any help will be appreciated.

Many thanks and have a nice weekend

Another Apple II+ Boot Problem - UPDATED with Photos!

Submitted by 1978AppleII on August 26, 2017 - 1:06am

Yes yet another Apple II+ boot problem.

Before I get jumped on, I did search the forums and came up with 67 pages of possible links regarding "Apple II Boot" but none of them that I saw seemed to match this set of circumstances.

I am trying to help a friend get an old Apple II+ up and running. He received it totally dead and non functional.

Apple II+ lower case and shift-key mod

Submitted by randalstout on August 22, 2017 - 11:32pm

I am sure this information is posted somewhere, so beat me up if you must.

For day-to-day Apple II stuff, I'm using an Apple //e Platinum. To mess around with my old BBS, I've purchased an Apple ][+ and each of the orignal cards I owned back then:

0: 16K Card
2: Apple Cat Modem
3: SmartTerm 80 Column Card (special firmware that I write the BBS towards)
4: Mountain Apple Clock II
