The 1 Gig IDE Drive to CFFA 3000 Project

Submitted by gsmcten on June 29, 2013 - 6:22pm

I'm a little awkward when it comes to doing things with electronics. Anyone who has read the Mountain Expansion Chassis posts will know that.

The main Idea here is to connect a 1 Gig IDE hard drive to the CFFA 3000 in my Apple IIe.

1. I have the CFFA Card and the drive.
2. I have a complete USB to IDE Adapter Kit.

Here is the problem:

Strange iie problem part II

Submitted by insanitor on June 27, 2013 - 9:57pm

This iie is driving me nuts.

Yesterday, I left the iie on for two hours, then I played that game, saved it, then loaded up the same game and all was well.

Today, when I turned on the iie for the first time, the disk drive would not turn on. I switched it off and then back on and it turned on fine.

So, I leave it on for another two hours, played that game again, saved that game, and reloaded the same game and it worked fine.

Apple IIe Problem: Z80 card + Transwarp block boot

Submitted by tkh on June 27, 2013 - 2:14am

Hi, I have a curious problem with my Apple IIe on my hands.

I just got my Transwarp and Z80 card at the same time. I installed both of them one after another on the same day that I had it.
Then I tried to run it. What happened was the Transwarp logo came out, and nothing followed. The system just stuck right there.

Unknown 80 column card

Submitted by freitz on June 26, 2013 - 11:18am

Hi,
I recently got an Apple II Europlus with an 80 column card marked "Ananas 80Z" (that's pineapple in german).
My main problem is that the onboard relay for switching the output to the 80 column screen is activated, as soon as the cards video connector has a ground connection. It has two eproms labled "DIN" and "ASC" wich is obviously the german and the us font sets, but I don't know how to switch between them. The card works when I do a "PR#3" but some graphics are scrambled, because it uses the german font set.

Joystick recommendation for Apple II

Submitted by Corey986 on June 26, 2013 - 9:59am

What is the best joystick for an Apple II.

I mostly use the paddles or keyboard but I went to use pinball construction set and realized while I have a couple of old joysticks I really want a good one.

Thanks,
Corey

Strange iie problem

Submitted by insanitor on June 25, 2013 - 4:50pm

Hey guys.

Got a strange problem with my iie.

The power supply has got this strange sweet smell coming out of it.

I thought it was the power supply because when I try to play this game, every disk gets errors, usually the same error at the same sector.

And the amount of files on the disk always gets cut by 2/3.

How "impressive"/collectable are frankensteined Apple IIs?

Submitted by jdmoser on June 22, 2013 - 8:43pm

I could certainly answer my own question by the fact that anything with proper original labels, serials, etc. would be more desirable to have.
