A good day on eBay

Submitted by billw on July 2, 2015 - 6:15pm

It has been years since I've spotted a bargain on eBay before somebody else snatched it.

Today I picked up two $100 IIgs units. One appears to have a Superdrive controller and a microdrive. The other has a ZipGS and a 4MB RAM card.

I've always wanted a Superdrive controller, but was never willing to pay the going price. I don't have a Superdrive though. I don't suppose I can just put a 2MB floppy mechanism in an 800K drive, can I?

Hi all I'm new hear and need some help and information on the above peripheral, I came across this board whilst having a clear out and all research suggests its a graphics card for the apple 2 it would of been external to the apple and connected with an expansion card which sadly I don't have and have only seen one picture of one online. is anyone familiar with this board? I see the interface card looks quite simple so it may be possible if anyone has any details on it i may be able to make one and try to get this thing up and running in one of my apple 2s.

Zip GSX not working with 64 Ko cache

Submitted by amauget on June 29, 2015 - 4:04pm

Hello to all,

I'm trying to upgrade my Zip GSX v1.02 card with 64 Ko cache.
It is runnig at 10 Mhz with a 65C816-10. I'm using brand new SRAM UM61256K-15 and UM61256FK-15.

When 64 Ko is configured, the card crash within a minute under GS/OS 6.01. Sometimes, I can't even get it to load.
Without removing SRAM, if I get back to 32 Ko cache (only 2 chips are used), the card is working great.

Apple 2 (Original Model) Flood Damage

Submitted by gary600 on June 22, 2015 - 4:11pm

Hi,
As you may know, Colorado experienced major flooding in 2013. My house was effected, and an Apple ][ (that I didn't even know we had) was in the basement and got wet. Now, it won't boot. There is a Microsoft memory expansion in it, and that has a few lights that come on when I turn on the power, but other than that, there is no evidence that it is on. If anyone has something I could try, please reply.

Is this an Original Apple II or Apple Plus?

Submitted by apple7159 on June 19, 2015 - 10:03pm

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have viewed a bunch of discussions regarding Apple II versus Apple II Plus. I was just wondering if you could look at my computer and give me some more information regarding if its a late model Apple II or an Apple II Plus. I know that some Apple II's were made after the introduction of the Apple Plus. If I decide to sell it in the future, the last thing I would want to do is mislead anyone.

IIc Plus System Test

Submitted by kevwaffle on June 16, 2015 - 9:34pm

I've had an Apple IIc Plus for a few years now and everything seems to work fine on it. I use it several times a week for programming and gaming and never had a noticeable problem. I've ran the diagnostic self-test on it occasionally over time and always came up with the same result, which now I'm beginning to question. At the end of the test, I see "SYSTEM OK" but there are a lot of other garbage characters on the screen. Question is, is this normal or do I have an issue somewhere?
