What's the Pride and Joy of your Apple II collection

Submitted by vapor on March 8, 2010 - 11:04pm

I know it is hard to say out loud which child you like the best, but I'm sure almost all of us have a favorite. If not a favorite, at least the most unique or even valuable. What is the pride and joy of your Apple II collection, if you had to pick one?

Fitting PAL Encoder card

Submitted by UKRetroGamer on March 7, 2010 - 5:26pm

I recently managed to obtain a PAL Encoder card to give me colour (color) output from my Europlus.

Is there a recommended slot to fit this into?

Also, the card has a trailing wire (Orange, in my case), which I assume has to be connected to the motherboard somewhere.

Which connector should this wire be attached to?

How about running GBBS with in Applewin?

Submitted by A2forever on February 23, 2010 - 8:50pm

What would the possibility of having GBBS run through Applewin? Since alot of people have already converted all their floppies to .DSK format and alot of the Hard Drive images as well have been converted of to .HDD . This would be kinda cool in itself! If there was a way for Applewin to emulate an Applecat Modem , or Micromodem or what ever one had at the time... Would be neat to boot up these old BBS's and run them again and see how they were at the time they went off line!

eBay Warning. Suspicious Seller.

Submitted by gsmcten on February 20, 2010 - 6:09pm

Good evening all.

I wanted to report a suspicious seller on ebay.

His name is CAPKNIGHT and he specifically sells Apple II items.

At the moment he has several items for sale including an Applied Engineering Accelerator for a IIgs. The kicker is that there is a shill (r***r) jacking up the prices on the cards.

(r***r) has forced the price up of this particular card to $405.00 within the last six hours. He has 62 bid retractions in the last six months and 30% of the time he bids on CAPKNIGHT's items.

Link for the Texting w/ Dune BBS back in the 80's !

Submitted by A2forever on February 15, 2010 - 4:12am

I got an update link for you all that are interested in reading about Texting using a BBS back in the 80's , it's kinda a bragging rights deal , but alot of research has gone into this project and getting it back off the ground ..... Hope you enjoy the link. By the way , Frank who wrote this , was in my opinion was a very exceptional programmer back in the Apple II days and did amazing things with 6502 Machine Language :O)

Ejoy the link.....

I found CATSEND 3.0! And a interesting bit on the first Texting Voice Mail for a BBS in the 1980's.

Has anyone noticed in Applewin , you are not able to create any Virtual Disks? I had to go back to a later version of Applewin to do this. Normally you would boot up a DOS 3.3 Disk , click on a Drive Icon , type in the name of the File you wish to create , hit Enter , then in BASIC you would type INIT HELLO . This would create the .DSK file , but for some reason in the newer versions of Applewin you get an I/O Error! I noticed this because I finally found CATSEND 3.0!!
