Apple II+ joystick cable to iie joystick how to plug in.

Submitted by NovellNetware on August 10, 2020 - 10:34pm

Being lazy and I wanted to brag. Even before I got my apple II plus. I had a person bring in some recyceing and for my eyes it included what I only know as a II+ to IIe adaptor cable. But no manual and no pin allignment. Got to love cables back in the day. So any ideas? The closet I have is I found a diagram that shows pin 1 should be 5+ volts. I'm thinking the cable plug in will face toward the back to push the connect out the back of the apple ii.  The joystick I picked up on epay for under $20.00 including shipping. I thought it was a good deal.

Floppy notcher

Submitted by desiv on August 9, 2020 - 7:43pm

So, getting back into my Apple //e recently and after getting ADTPro working (and the Online Disk Server), I decided to notch some of my floppies to use side 2.

So, I grabbed my trusty hole punch, just like in ye olde days.

Then I remembered those neato disk notchers, and checked ebay.  Seeing only one at or over $100 or so, decided that wasn't the route.. ;-)

Then I decided to check Thingiverse to see what 3D printer options might be available to help.

Actually did find a "floppy notch guide" to help line up your hole punch better!

Grappler and software incompatibility??

Submitted by desiv on August 8, 2020 - 3:02pm

OK, maybe not, but this was weird.

I got my //e set back up and decided to ADT (yes, I am using that as a verb) some of the original disks that came with it...

So I put Inside Story on a floppy and ran that.

Then I went for "An introduction to your Apple //e."

Firstly, several of the ones on Asimov labeled as that are actually the Inside Story.  ;-)

But after using AppleWin to find the real ones, I copied it..

And it didn't run....  ;-(

It booted, and looked like it might, but just a black screen.

Apple IIe 5.25” Floppy drive A9M0107 wont read or write?

Submitted by body_Infinity on August 8, 2020 - 12:57am

Hi all, my Apple IIe floppy drives have stopped reading/writing after using a couple of new old stock floppy disks. This has happened previously with some old disks but a good head clean gets it back up and reading/writing. This time nothing has worked. Sadly I tried a spare drive and its suffered the same fate, has anyone else been in the same situation that can offer solutions? 

Thanks in advance!

Unclaimed Sound / Failed RAM Error 0C000001

Submitted by robscary on August 4, 2020 - 2:01pm

Greetings...

I've got a IIgs that had been working fine; last night, while booting, it presented an "Unclaimed Sound Interrupt" error. I tried every troubleshooting option I could find online (removed peripherals, reseated chips, etc.) to no luck. After running the built in diagnostics, I ended up with a $0C000001 - Sound RAM data error issue. 

It looks like the Sounds RAM chips are not socketed so there's nothing to reseat. I inspected the board front and back and don't see any obvious issues. Any suggestions on what to try next?

DIY PS2 to Apple II Mouse Card adapter

Submitted by Stargeezer on August 4, 2020 - 12:38pm

Hello all:

New member here.  I FINALLY own an Apple IIe.  When I was a kid back in the early 1980's I always wanted an Apple II but it wasn't in the family budget.  After almost 36 years I finally own one.  I became a vintage computer collector several years back as it fuels my nostalgia or the early days when I learned to code and hack.  The unit I bought on eBay does not have a mouse and the M0100 mice on eBay are way over priced.  So I am setting out to build my own adapter to use a PS2 mouse on an Apple IIe.

Apple III Wont Load SOS

Submitted by sev on August 2, 2020 - 1:22pm

So now I got the system back together and I'm facing another issue. I can boot the confidence disk and the diagnostic disk just fine but if i boot anything that has SOS on it, it crashes and freezes. At first I thought it might be the disk drive so I tried loading the ADTPro Boot disk through ADTPRO over serial and as soon as it begins loading SOS, it crashes and locks up. usually with the drive stuck spinning.
