Disk II cable question

Submitted by gmontag451 on September 16, 2018 - 8:02pm

I have an Apple IIe with a Disk II, and I'm looking for a better solution to my disk drive cabling.

Currently, the Disk II ribbon cable goes from the drive loosely through an open port in the back of the computer and into the controller card. 

I'm wondering if this is the typical way these are set up? My concern is that I move the computer in and out of storage often, and I'd rather not be opening it up and fiddling with the controller card each time.Also, the controller card gets tugged often when the drive is moved around.

Now that the Saturn128 Reboot design is complete and mostly sold out I am considering designing a new card, this time a ROM card.

Just picked up a apple 2e. Plugged it in and turned it on. Apple2 logo came on and control-reset turned it to applesoft but no other keys worked. Only keys working are contnrol, apple keys and reset. Tried resetting the cable to the motherboard. Any other tips would be appreicated.

Apple II Video Issues - Boots OK

Submitted by taos23 on September 10, 2018 - 5:19pm

Hello all

This is my first post on Applefritter. I've used many enjoyable hours reviewing all the excellent posts on Applefritter, as well as the extremely helpful trouble shoot guide at http://www.appleii-box.de.

My rev 4 apple ii that came from the UK has display problems! Everything seems fine for the most part--system beeps, boots, keyboard is responsive, etc--EXCEPT the video is scrambled with vertical lines. See attached photos.

Solved - Apple II Appleshare Programmer’s Guide

Submitted by freitz on September 10, 2018 - 6:43am

Hi there,

Does anyone have the Appleshare programmer's guide for the Apple II?
This seems to be the only document that has not been scanned to pdf.

I have seen it for sale on Syndicomm and wouldn't mind buying it, but I do mind $60 of shipping for a few pages of paper.

Regards, Florian

ADTPro questions ...

Submitted by stefan88 on September 7, 2018 - 4:43pm

I am imaging some damaged (durt and water) disks with ADTPro and in the process some questions came up....

1. Is there a way to have a log file alongside with the DSK file with information of the errors - good block / bad block. A Feature request maybe Wink

2. Are there some tools for working with disk images - something like visual map of the disk, disk image comparison and mixing...

Gibberish video upon bootup of an early series Apple ii

Submitted by piedad on August 27, 2018 - 3:25am

What could be wrong with my Apple ii? When I turn it on, I only see gibberish video output. No speaker beep sound.

Am not sure if 1) am not using the right display - just attached it to a video grabber USB dongle. 2) my keyboard is not working hence the reset signal is not being sent to the computer for it to boot properly. 3) something else is wrong.

I had already replaced the power supply with a new one from Reactive Micro.
