Has Anyone Ever Heard Of One Of These ??????

Submitted by gsmcten on April 1, 2013 - 8:06pm

I just came off of eBay, where I noticed this interesting item.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Apple-II-Board-Mini-Manual-/321100368490?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Manuals_Merchandise&hash=item4ac312ca6a#ht_863wt_958

I have never heard of this manual before.
Does anyone have an idea of whether or not this guy is pulling our collective legs?

It Makes you wonder...

All,

I decided that this topic is in conjunction with the "This is Laughable" topic.

This topic asks the question: "Are these people really as uneducated on the Apple II systems as they seem?"

First in what I belive will be a long list of entries:

My Apple II with no serial number…

Submitted by transwarp II guy on March 29, 2013 - 1:30am

Hello, I have two apple II’s; one is a late model with flat power key and one is a fairly early version with green slots and raised power key. I’ve decided I’m going to sell the one with the flat style power button.
Notice this computer has no bottom label. It doesn't even look like there ever was a label.

This card was used by dealers and service technicians to make fast diagnostic on Apple //e systems.
It contained a diagnostic programm in Eproms and was able to uncover nearly every problem known by the Apple IIe.

CFFA3000 USB Extension

Submitted by apple2lives on March 26, 2013 - 8:59pm

The CFFA3000 supports an internal USB drive. Unfortunately, you need you remove the cover of Apple to gain access. Many of us use a USB extension cable to bring this port to the outside world for easy access.

Every so often a neat item appears on eBay. This is a 3-ft USB extension cable from D-Link and it is designed for use with a USB drive. This item, 170942966023, is selling for $3.59 and includes shipping. I decided to get one for my CFFA3000.

Thunderclock failure question

Submitted by dramsey on March 21, 2013 - 9:09pm

My newly-acquired Thunderclock seems to be crazy. There was moderate corrosion on the board which I cleaned off, but now the clock seems to be in some weird mode where it's counting down backwards: a program that does nothing but read and display the time shows months and days streaming by, approximately 1 month every 2-3 seconds, always counting backwards.

Anyone ever seen this? Possible fixes?
