Startup from Ram Drive Always

Submitted by Punkyclown on August 24, 2019 - 4:46pm

Hi all, I was trying to setup Flash Boot on my IIgs and got to the point where it said "Startup from Ram drive once."

and when I pushed enter the window just droped down to "Startup always" and so I pushed enter again.  Nothing really happened

so I turned off my system and now I can not get it up again.  I can not use the keyboard OA-Cntr-Reset to restart my

system after I reset the Startup Option to "Scan" or "Slot 5".  Can someone please tell me how I can get out of this Hell.

Apple //e with Horizontal Bars?

Submitted by DistantStar001 on August 24, 2019 - 2:28am

I've been working on an Apple //e mother board for a while with no luck.  It worked when I got it, and all the ICs are socketed.  So I tried to use it to diagnose another malfunctioning board.  Unfortunately it didn't work, and when I reseated all the original ICs it stopped working all together (no video, no beep).  Finally I decided to give it a run through the dishwasher (figured that I couldn't kill a dead board) and now I get 12 horizontal bars across my screen, each 8 pixels tall.  This is the most life I've gotten out of this thing in months!

I've just acquired a rev. 0 Apple II with a ventless case. The serial number is 92 and it's working with most components still original. I'll post more information and photos once I have it in my hands next week.

Apple IIe Transwarp problem

Submitted by j3356 on August 20, 2019 - 9:56pm

As you can see from the images, my transwarp is causing corrupt characters on the display. I've tried reseating all the chips, cleaning the contacts, replacing all the ram, swapping cpus with my apple iie(enhanced), and removing all other cards. Any suggestions. Bad rom?

Fixing / connecting a Disk 2 drive

Submitted by gobblebit on August 20, 2019 - 6:24am

I've got two Disk 2 drives that I'd like to get up and running, but I'm a little unclear as how to proceed.

The problem is that both drives came without cables, so ordered those in ahead of time. I was expecting to hook these up to a Disk 2 controller card. However, the Apple IIe that showed up with these drives has an I/O controller with a different dsub connector. So given that I'm running 5v and 12v through those cables, I'd like to make sure I hook them up correctly.

It's been kind of hard to find a definitive source the explain this, so I'm looking to get some input.

Text reader for Apple IIgs

Submitted by Punkyclown on August 18, 2019 - 1:44pm

Hi All, I can not seem to find a basic text reader like SimpleText for the IIgs.

I can't believe there isn't one, could someone point me in the right direction.

Much appreciated.

Hi,

 

after years of searching, i have finally found a nearly complete Greengate DS:3 Synthesizer (missing the keyboard) for the Apple II.

I will make images from the disks and scan the manual, as soon as the card arrives.

Anyone remember this game?

Submitted by Myndale on August 7, 2019 - 2:45am

I hope this isn't too off-topic, but I've been trying unsuccessfully for many years to track down a particular Apple ][ game that I remember from 1981. It was my first ever experience on a personal computer and very instrumental in what ultimately became a 16-year-long career as a professional game developer.The game itself was text-based graphics and you flew an airplane delivering mail from airport to airport. The "camera" (for want of a better word) was in front looking back.
