Apple II

I've recently got my IIe out of storage and cleaned up both drives. One works OK but the other appears to function, but does not write. It apparently formats OK, I can download a DSK file using ADTPro, which runs without any errors, but when I examine the disk it has the original contents before the format. Can the write process proceed and fail without any error messages? ADTPro is working OK on the aufio link, there is no problem there.

Hello Everyone.

I'm new here and I'd like some help to understand what's going on.

In July of this year I assembled a replica of the Apple II Rev. 0. and over time I've been assembling the Expansion Cards (Disk II Controller and HDMI Video Card). Everything is working perfectly without crashes.

However, in the last month I assembled the Memory Expansion Card (Language Card), since then I've been having some strange problems.

I have two Sider drives made in 1985, so I guess they are 10MB. Also have two Apple II interface cards with a 50 pin 2 row header - one is ribbon connected to a 37D, and there is one bus terminator housed in a 37 D shell. They have been in storage and I'm not going to power up until I find the 37D daisy cables, which should be lurking in one of my junk boxes. I read somewhere they need to be parked and should not be used until the last drive in the chain is terminated, either could cause damage. I have no discs, or manuals, but there may be stuff on the drives.

I have an extra Apple IIGS ROM 01, fully working, Woz edition. It has a RAM expansion, I think it is a rare, original 4MB, but I'd have ot check. Would love to sell it to someone who would use it. Anyone intrested?
