Where to get AppleWorks 5.0

Submitted by dramsey on November 23, 2013 - 12:42pm

On asimov.net, there are two versions:

-- A 6-disk version from Beagle Brothers. Disk 1 of this won't even boot.

-- An 11-disk installer from Quality Computers. Upon booting the first disk and electing to install AppleWorks, you're asked to insert the "AppleWorks Program Disk". None of the 10 remaining disks will suffice. Even copying all the files from all 11 disks to a volume on the CFFA3000 doesn't work.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Viewmaster question

Submitted by ericF on November 20, 2013 - 11:07pm

I'm having trouble getting the vertical deflection adjusted on my monitor when working in 80 column mode with a Viewmaster 80 (installed in a II+, slot 3). The top and bottom text lines extend beyond the physical screen dimensions. There are also faint vertical lines in 40 column mode. Otherwise, the card seems to work.

Apple II Europlus Video fault

Submitted by trickydee on November 19, 2013 - 7:05pm

I am restoring an apple ii europlus and was getting quite far until the video output totally failed. I have started some initial chip swapping but I was hoping that someone could advise on where to troubleshoot further.

Best Method for Connecting Marinetti to the Internet

Submitted by Clyde1992 on November 19, 2013 - 5:13pm

Hello, everyone:

A week ago, I finally received a CFFA3000, which has made transferring and running programs on my IIGS much easier. Now that the lack of mass storage is not an issue, I have decided install Marinetti, in order to connect my IIGS to the internet. I know that Marinetti is compatible with Ethernet, but Apple II Ethernet cards are not very common. I also do not have access to dial-up internet, so a dial-up modem is not an option. Therefore, I feel that the best solution would be to connect to the internet through the IIGS serial port.

CFFA3000 and AppleWorks

Submitted by dramsey on November 18, 2013 - 12:10pm

Is is possible to use AppleWorks to save a file to a CFFA3000 virtual disk? I have the AppleWorks disks in emulated Drive 1 and a blank disk in emulated Drive 2. DOS and ProDOS can read and write the emulated disk just fine, but AppleWorks says "Can't write to disk" when I try to save something to it.

If I try to format the emulated disk 2 from inside AppleWorks, it says there's a problem with the drive speed.

Any ideas?

Could not find any documentation online so thought perhaps someone here could help?

If pictures needed I can do that just no access to take and post them right now. Could post photo later this morning/afternoon if needed.

a2m2010 apple monitor contrast question

Submitted by mrathlon1700 on November 15, 2013 - 5:21pm

Had a simple dumb question. I have a a2m2010 monitor. When I adjust rear brightness control just before there's lines on the screen. How far should the side contrast control be up. Does the contract on those monitors get that bright?

For a decent picture I need to turn it up 80-85 percent on the contrast knob. I admit like it all the way turned up almost near the brighness.

Wondering if its normal. Weak tube?

Thanks

Casey

"remove write protect tab" message

Submitted by TechChallenged on November 14, 2013 - 3:41pm

My system is an Apple IIe ][ with a DuoDisk controlled by a 655-0101 IO card. After years of reliable operation a problem has developed.

I get false "remove write protect tab" messages when trying to read Visifile or Appleworks data discs even though these discs are notched with no tabs. These data discs cannot be read. The message also appears when trying to initialize blank discs with DOS or ProDos masters, again notched with no tabs. Discs cannot be initialized. These problems exist on both drives.
