Compatiboot?

What are these Compatiboot (no FASTLOADER) disk images showing up on Asimov?

No fastloader, but yet they load superfast. And what does "compatiboot" mean anyways?

Apple II late 1978

Some pictures of recent finds. Finded an late 1978 original Apple II and early 1980 Apple II europlus among with some cards.

The 1978 Apple II does have however Apple II badge wich i'm in a process of replacing with the original badge.

Oddly the 1978 Apple II had one Integer ROM chip and others were Applesoft II ROM's. I borrowed the ROM's from the Europlus, cleaned it up

Funny smell Apple IIe power supply

I recently got an Apple IIe enhanced from a friend who asked me to clean for him.everything went fine, but while trying to run a diagnostics program I thought my wife was cooking, a sweet burning smell began to come out. I then realize it was the IIe, and immediately shut it down. Mi afraid to turn it on again, what can it be? Can it be repaired?
Ranks in advance.

SSC II and ADTPro not working

As I was going through a lot of Apple stuff I bought from one seller, I found an Apple Super Serial II Card among the pile. I had previously been using my Apple III to write Apple II disks but I think it is going flaky (like sometimes it will 'remember' things you typed at various prompts in ADTPRO and then repeat them at another prompt, or the drive writes the first couple disks ok and then starts coming up with 'bad sectors').

Disk II acting funny?

I have A Apple IIe with the standard Disk II drive card in it. While I was using the Drive one the Led light went out and the drive will only spin. When the computer is powered off and on it just spins and the head does not make the start up chatter. I have noticed for A while the led would brown out while spinning or the head was seeking the track info and the sound of the head chattering started to get real week. I tried A Franklin 10 analog card and the drive started acting like normal but the led Will not go out it burns even when the drive stops spinning.

Disposing of Apple II collection

I need some advice on disposing of an Apple II collection. About 15 years ago, I rescued a bunch of Apple IIs which were being disposed of at a school. I had hoped to do something with them but they have remained in my attic almost since I recovered them. I am now moving home and I need to dispose of most of them.
