issue with Apple II fast scsi card

Submitted by luckybob on November 14, 2017 - 3:29am

Got around to testing this card. I hope it's just a configuration error. Or i'm using the wrong disk.

I'm getting this screen:

My IIe seems to enter diagnostic mode by itself and stays there.

IIe Platinum Video problem

Submitted by 6502enhanced on November 12, 2017 - 2:11am

Hi,

I got my first Apple IIe Platinum. I got it for a good price I think (60$). Inside were also a 5.25 controller card and a SSC. That's all very nice.

What is not so nice is the fact that it has a video problem.

got a huge lot of Apple II and IBM stuff, how to test

Submitted by luckybob on November 10, 2017 - 2:51am

I know I don't post often, I still lurk, but I haven't had cause to make a post until now. Long story short, I had a windfall of Apple II and IBM stuff. More stuff than I can ever use for myself! (images included)

I got 7 chassis, in various states, from nearly destroyed, to "passable", power supplies, 4x IIe color monitors, and at least 2 big boxes of cards.

My main concern at this stage, is testing. Naturally, people want tested parts. Power supplies and monitors are easy, but when it comes to other boards... not so much.

Very early Apple II+ from ebay

Submitted by falter on November 2, 2017 - 4:34pm

I thought about buying this but passed. Beyond the bragging rights I didn't see much point.

Rev 4 Motherboard not starting properly and no beep

Submitted by Hunter012 on October 28, 2017 - 9:08am

see pics, I get the ampersands and no beep from the speaker.

Things I've tried:

Different power supply
gently pulling all accessible chips up and reinserting
replacing CPU chip

Also I replaced all the Roms from another board because 3 of the roms had rusty pins that broke off.

would love to get it working but no matter what I do I get the same powerup screen so there must be a bad chip or memory.

Should I try replacing all the memory or a different approach?

Thanks
