Submitted by Hessen on May 5, 2020 - 10:20pm

What are your thoughts on this PSU kit?

Are they reliable and worth the $70.00?

Needed: Videx Softswitch, or similar; or diagrams? Or 80-col card.

Submitted by Timelord on May 4, 2020 - 2:11pm

I have one Videx card, but the softwitch board is damaged, wires are broken and IDK which wire belongs on each pad, and the 16-pin header is missing one leg.

 

I could use a diagram for the card, to build another one; or a replacement softswitch kit. I have an AE 80 col card but it is absolutely filthy with some corrosion. I'm working on restoring it, but I have been a few days  at the task, and have more to go.

IIgs ROM-0 Mainboard Differences

Submitted by Timelord on May 4, 2020 - 1:45pm

I own a ROM-0 that was part of a //e Upgrade Kit. Today, I saw photos of another ROM-0 board, and it has two slight differences that mine lacks.

 

There is an extra resistor on it, plus a little bodge board.

 

Do any of you know the purpose of these?

Apple Pascal on IIGS

Submitted by old_hitech on May 4, 2020 - 12:55am

Has anyone successfully used Apple Pascal on a IIGS? I have a ROM 01 IIGS with two 3.5 drives and one 5.25 drive. I thought I would be able to find a 800K disk image of Apple Pascal 1.3 somewhere, but I was unsuccessful. I have also tried to use Floopy EMU as a second 5.25 drive. I have tried Apple Pascal 1 disk in the real 5.25 drive and Apple Pascal 2 disk in the Floppy EMU and the Apple Pascal 1 disk seems to boot okay, but the Floppy EMU blinks a few times, but all that is on the screen is a square character in the upper left corner of the screen.

PC Transporter rolling video issue. Any ideas?

Submitted by DeathAdderSF on May 3, 2020 - 8:13pm

Hey, all.

 

So I've got my PC Transporter installed in slot 7 of my IIgs ROM03, connected to an AppleColor RGB monitor by way of the ColorSwitch. And although all Apple II graphics modes display perfectly fine thru this connection, whenever the PC Transporter is engaged and switches to MS-DOS, the video starts rolling up the screen. Adjusting the VHOLD of the monitor does not fix the issue. Before anyone asks: Yes, I have slot 7 set to "Your Card" and I have tried using different slots.

Apple IIe display problems

Submitted by robbo007 on May 2, 2020 - 8:43pm

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,
