What will happen to Applewin with Berlios.de gone?

What will happen to Applewin with Berlios.de gone?

Somebody said it's on sourceforge, but I didn't see a discussion forum. And the "front page" lists a much older version. 1.18 IIRC when in reality it is 1.24.

Use DuoDisk Drive With More Modern Computer

Submitted by grandta13 on May 17, 2014 - 10:29pm

I have a DuoDisk drive that I would like to interface with a newer computer. I have a port replicator, an iMac G3, and a Windows 7 x64 machine. What would I need in order to interface the drive with one of these?

Apple /// works perfectly

Submitted by dramsey on May 17, 2014 - 6:42pm

After taking out the motherboard and power supply revealed no obvious problems-- the interior of the machine was squeaky clean and dust-free after 30 years of storage-- I powered it up for the first time.

Everything works perfectly!

Disk Help

Submitted by Zan8675 on May 15, 2014 - 9:59pm

I am familiar with a lot of Apple II stuff but I personally have never seen or used this disk before. I'm sure many of you guys know its purpose!
It boots like the DOS 3.3 Basics disk in a few seconds time and then asks me to "Insert Basic Disk and press return key"

I actually have three of them but have no clue. (plus, I don't know what the disk is for Smile

Silentype on Apple ///

Submitted by dramsey on May 15, 2014 - 2:45pm

I understand that the Apple /// has a Silentype printer port built in. I see Silentypes on eBay every now and then. From what I can tell, they used 8.5" wide thermal paper rolls, and this size still seems to be widely available for fax machines.

Can the Silentype use modern thermal paper? And is it a reasonable choice for an Apple ///? I could always use my existing Epson dot matrix printer, but Apple /// parallel cards aren't that common...

Printer emulation

Submitted by havediscs on May 15, 2014 - 2:05pm

There's an Apple II emulator for Macs that can output print images, such as from The Print Shop (see the middle of the page here):

Is there any emulator for Windows that would have this capability?

Profile mod to use flash drive

Submitted by dramsey on May 11, 2014 - 11:12pm

I recall seeing-- somewhere-- that someone had built a board that replaced the ST506 in a Profile with a flash drive of some sort.

Since the CFFA3000 doesn't support SOS directly, and I think that a 30-year-old hard drive probably wouldn't be reliable, I'd really like to find where I saw this.

(If I did, of course.)

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Getting into Apple IIGS

Submitted by protek on May 11, 2014 - 4:41pm

Greetings!
I am a soon to be happy owner of an Apple IIGS. It's just the base unit without drives or keyboard. The latter I got covered as I have a keyboard and mouse from my Mac Classic.

As for mass storage, I'm considering my options. If I am going to use the GS OS, is a proper hard drive a necessity? I've been looking at the SDisk II, which connects to the 20-pin connector of a floppy drive controller. Can the connecting cable simply be converted for the 19-pin floppy deive connector of the IIGS or do I need an adapter of sorts?

Thanks!

NOS Apple ///

Submitted by dramsey on May 10, 2014 - 8:17pm

I just bought, from an old Apple employee, an NOS Apple ///+, external drive, and monitor ///, along with a bunch of software. The computer and drive have been removed from their boxes to check condition but have never been powered up. The monitor has never been removed from the box.

I'll pick the computer up in a week or two (the next time I'm back in San Jose), but are there any things I should do before putting power to a system this old? A motherboard chip-press or something?

(It would be really nice if the CFFA3000 worked on this system, but I don't think it will...)
