Disk ][ not reading disks

Submitted by KF5SDR on May 30, 2016 - 7:51pm

Having just adapted a PC power supply to run my Apple, I decided to play Moon Patrol. I had inadvertently let one of my drives fall about 3 cm, but I thought that wasn't enough to ruin my drive. Apparently it was, because it cannot now read disks. Sometimes, the stepper motor doesn't even step. In such cases, it will only move at all in phase 2; when the phase 2 signal is removed, the motor just returns to its previous position.

5-1/4" floppies for Apple IIe and a question

Submitted by Statsman1 on May 29, 2016 - 9:04pm

Can anyone recommend where to get some 5-1/4" floppies for my Apple IIe?

I have tried some floppies that I have, but they don't appear to work (they're 1.2Mb floppies for one thing, which might be a problem)...however, this might also be a drive problem (as the computer and various stuff had been in storage for a while before I got it).

Does anyone know of a source for Super Serial Card modem/printer jumper blocks? I have a broken one, and a spare or two would be nice.

Vulcan CF

Submitted by Wayne on May 26, 2016 - 3:22pm

Sadly one of the 32mb compact flash I use with Vulcan controllers died. The markings on the back were the same as a couple of CFs at MemoryTen so I ordered one of each.
The Vulcan controller wouldn’t see them when I first tried, so I tried formatting them on something else. Then the Vulcan controller recognized both and formatted them.
So if anyone has a controller with a 40mb or larger EPROM these are two that’ll work

Upgrading a ramworks III?

Submitted by theslownorris on May 24, 2016 - 1:40pm

Having some issues...

Does a Ramworks III require parity ram? Is 80 nanosecond ram too fast?

Looks like the first 8 drams are marked p-15. The ram I'm trying to add is -08.

I can only get bank a & c recognized. Additionally, after trying to clean the card up, bank 8 got hot as hades!

Ram? Borked card? Any suggestions appreciated.

Putting disk images into a hard drive image? (Floppy Emu)

Submitted by Johnnya101 on May 23, 2016 - 5:19pm

Im trying to figure out how I can put disk images into a hard drive (HD20) image. Is this possible? I want it to be so when I use System Software 6, I can click on the HD and have a list of games/programs.

I have Floppy Emu Model B.

Im presuming I can somehow open the HD in cider press, and insert the files in...

Thank you for any help!

Apple II+ Telnet from Windows PC to Apple II+

Submitted by whynotpizza on May 23, 2016 - 12:50pm

Hey guys,

Is it possible to be on a Windows 7/10 PC and telnet into my Apple II+ using Uthernet Card?

I guess it kind of defeats the purpose of experiencing the original flavor of 1980's Apple technology, but am curious if anyone has done this before.
