Apple IIc keyboard "membrane"

Submitted by joel_graff on July 31, 2020 - 8:46pm

So the Apple IIc (at least, the one I have) has a thin gray membrane of sorts that overlays the keystems.  It's badly cracked and deteriorated.  My intuition is that it serves no immediately valuable purpose and can probably just be disposed of.  Though I'd ask just in case there's a reason to keep it or try to replace it.

Apple iic Disk emulator?

Submitted by Airheart on July 31, 2020 - 12:15pm

Hello!  I'm new here and I was lucky enough to get a hold of my very first computer recently!  A beautiful Apple iic. I'm looking to buy a Floppy drive emulator that works with my machine. I can't find anything online, like the "Floppy Emu", which seems perfect for the Apple iic.

Apple IIe System Test Fails

Submitted by Kelgledon on July 31, 2020 - 4:15am

I get "RAM 00100000" on my screen when I hold both Apple keys down during boot.  I can remove all cards and get the same thing.  I have replaced the 3rd of 8 RAM chips, after desoldering suspect RAM and soldered in a socket before putting new RAM in.  The 4th and 5th chips are also socketed and I tried swapping those as well.  I can enter and run a BASIC program, but booting from floppy doesn't work.  Help!

Replacement Disk II cable?

Submitted by Dr. Webster on July 28, 2020 - 10:46am

I recently rescued an Apple IIe, Monitor II and Disk II from the e-waste pile. Unfortunately, whoever left them had cut all of the cables off the back (including the power cable on the monitor). There was a ribbon cable between the IIe and Disk II. Are there any easily-available replacements for this, or will I need to look into building one?

How do I backup Apple IIe CF to PC using CiderPress?

Submitted by gottj on July 26, 2020 - 12:52pm

I recently acquired and installed a ReActiveMicro Drive/Turbo compact flash (CF) card for my Apple IIe. The card came complete with a 512MB CF memory card loaded with software. I'd like to make a backup of the card's contents using my Windows 10 PC and CiderPress (Ver 4.0.3). Using CiderPress, I am able to see and read the CF's contents as a non-windows volume. But I'm unsure as to how to copy the contents of the CF to my PC. I do not want to accidently overwrite or delete anything on the vendor provided CF.

Transfer single files to Apple //e

Submitted by tony359 on July 18, 2020 - 7:22am

Hi all,

 

I have been enjoying ATDPro and I can succesfully transfer .dsk files to the Apple to write on a disk.

However, I was wondering if there is a way to just send files to and from the Apple - not whole disks.

Also, is there a way to open and manipulate  .dsk files on Windows?

 

Thanks!

Apple Disk II does not start at all (no calibration)

Submitted by Jerome J on July 18, 2020 - 4:24am

Hi everybody,

 

This summer, my plan was to clean up my old Apple IIGS and transfer some floppy disks to a PC with ADTPro.

I've plugged-in everything, I've put a 3.5 inch disk in the drive, powered-on and it did boot well, after 25 years of hibernation. The demo that I was launching confirmed to me that the IIGS was working perfectly.

Small fix for latest batch of Apple II keyboards

Submitted by dfnr2 on July 17, 2020 - 6:34pm

Hi folks,

 

This is for those of you who are building an Apple II replacement keyboard from the unified keyboard project.

 

The good news is that once the mounting holes are adjusted, the keyboard fits great and looks and works really nice.  I will describe the problem and how to fix it with a little filing.
