Apple II

Hi guys,

I'm having a pew problems with my Apple IIe PAL and an Apple II Monochrome monitor. There seems to be this watery effect going down the screen and the text is not very clear. The monitor is good as I've texted it on another Apple IIe. What things can affect the video and what can I do to try and better it or fix it?  Its hard capture on photo so I can't post any screenshots. 

Regards,

As far as I remember things, ProDOS runs the first system file that it finds in sequence after the initial ProDOS bootstrap. Is there any way to change what it loads short of re-making a disk and choosing what was copied to the first blocks? 

What I want to accomplish, is to create a bootloader utility on an existing HDD volume, that lists the devices and slots; with an option to boot into GS/OS or to boot from another slot entirely. 

I have a few technical issues with my Floppy EMu, and I am beginning to think that I will need an alternative emulation card, although IDK if any solution is perfect.

Most notable is that when I try to load the ProDOS 2.4.2 or 2.5a disk images, it errors that the file is not contiguous. This seems absurd. Do any of you know what is happening there?

I also noted that almost every game .dsk image refuses to load. 

Has anyone successfully used a 32MB FCF card with a Vulcan //e (1.2, E40) card? I have two Vulcan cards: One is reaseved for a //gs, and will eentually get a GOLD ROM; the other is a //e 40MB card. 

Will  ulcan utilities properly partition and format a 32MB CF card on one of these, or will it lose its mind when it tries to determine head/sector counts?

Ere anyone asks, I only wish to do this because I already have the devices, and they are authentic to the system era. I am perfectly aware of newer devices, and I have SCSI cards, too.
