Apple ][e and Printer

Submitted by Stargeek on April 9, 2013 - 8:52am

I inherited an Apple ][e from my Father. It had power supply issues and once I removed the mainboard connector, tested the power supply, and reattached, it started working (corrosion on connectors?). Now working, Yea!

My Father was a prolific writer of his life experiences. All on 5.25 floppies! I'd like to get the stories off the floppies, it looked like the most practical method would be to print them off and scan to pdf files or ocr.

The printer involved is a Transtar 120 daisywheel for which I have no documentation. Knowing the control codes would be a plus.

Memory expansion on a //e ?

Submitted by Keatah on April 8, 2013 - 5:31am

What is the most amount of RAM memory I can put into a //e machine, and how would I go about it? I'm not interested in IIgs, just the //e.

RGB Card hard-wired to Motherboard

Submitted by Raidersan on April 5, 2013 - 7:30am

Hi,

My latest acquisition, a ][e from '84 has a RGB Card that has 3 wires soldered on 1 side onto 3 lined-up and clearly labelled contacts on the card and soldered onto pins of what looks like C65 and C57, but I could be wrong on those labels.

I have attached pictures of the card and motherboard.

Has anybody got an idea why that would have been done. I am guessing the RGB card didn't need such kind of surgery to work.

Many thanks!

Rev 0 compatibility question/poll

Submitted by Corey986 on April 3, 2013 - 6:09am

Ok here is what I'm trying to find out.

I have a Rev-0 with no auto-start ROM and both disk II and CFFA3000. I have a language card in it and I put a RamEx 16k "language card" which only provides 16k so that I still have to do 6 Ctrl P in monitor to boot from floppy on power up.

I ran all the test in APtest and all the apple dealer diagnostics disk tests that apply and it passes.

I also ran a modified version of one of Mike Willegal's memory tests, which did find a bad ram chip that I replaced with a good one.

What's Wrong With This Picture?

Submitted by gsmcten on April 2, 2013 - 3:42pm

I found this on eBay this afternoon.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-II-not-Plus-VERY-low-serial-number-2105-accessories-Mockingboard-/300884765945?pt=US_Vintage_Computers_Mainframes&hash=item460e212cf9#ht_9147wt_907

This person has mistakenly placed the Motherboard Number as the Serial Number.
I see no plate on the bottom of the case showing the serial number.
But my question is "2105" for a board number?
Is that possible? Smile
