Eprom Burner Question.

Submitted by A2forever on August 1, 2006 - 8:04am

Hi all!

was wondering , does anyone know of a site that you can go to , to find working eprom burner cards for a //+ ? I have some files that I want to burn to blank eproms , most of
which are modified f-8 roms [won't say what they are , but Im sure you know what they are used for ;o)] and a working pig font rom , which was a great font chip back in the day , made the characters really kewl , especially when you were online on a bbs , % characters looked like skull and crossbones! and the other rom is a lower case rom .

Help! I just murdered my IIe

Submitted by GoodOlDave on August 1, 2006 - 12:03am

Hey gang-

(Sigh) I have to admit that I am guilty of technocide, as I apparently killed off my Apple IIe, but I'm not certain how.

I have a IIe platinum, and I was playing Choplifter when I pressed ESC to pause it to go downstairs to get a cup of tea...and when I came back the IIe was acting REALLY weird.

Going nuts to identify an expansion card I picked up,

Submitted by SerendipityRoar on July 20, 2006 - 7:05pm

I've had this card a few days now and I can't figure out what the heck it is. The blue connector seems to be a standard floppy interface and fits into a floppy drive. I haven't tried it with a powered on II, though. I remember reading a FD controller can be burned out with the wrong drive attached, so yeah, a bit nervous about it.

All googling brings up useless links. Since I know very little about Apple II hardware (or how to work it) I thought it might be best to ask around here. Electrocution isn't on my agenda. : )

Apple II+ broken - does not boot

Submitted by jaksel on July 16, 2006 - 5:40pm

I have an Apple II+ which broke many years ago. My father believes one of the expansion cards was not properly inserted in the slot, causing it and the computer to stop working.

problem transfering .dsk images from pc->//c fixed!

Submitted by A2forever on July 13, 2006 - 12:24am

hi;

well I figured out what was going wrong with adt [apple disk transfer] , in regards to transfering .dsk images from the PC -> my //C , it wasn't the fact that the .dsk image was a 8-sector or 16-sector format , adt was checking the actual disk format , to see if it was 16-sector , so to fix this problem , all I had to do was boot up dos 3.3 system master , typed FP and INIT HELLO , ran adt again and tryed the transfer again and it worked flawlessly! thanks to everyone in the past who gave me good advice on what to check.

take care.

Apple IIC Disk Drive Problems.

Submitted by A2forever on July 10, 2006 - 7:20am

Hi!

I was recently booting up some old 5.25 Floppys the other night , and ofcourse I
got the dreded re-calibration noise and I/O errror. Now when I go to boot up any
Floppy Disk , I get the dreded calibration noise and error . Is it possible the disks that I tried put my 5.25 internal drive out of calibration? If so , is it possible to have the IIC bootup to the 5.25 External drive? If not , I would like to know how to calibrate an apple //drive.

see ya.
