VCF repair/maintanence presentations posted (in PDF)

Submitted by Mike WIllegal on December 21, 2014 - 7:21am

Hi Folks,

I just added the presentations (in PDF format) for a couple of maintenance/repair talks that I made at VCF east during the last couple of years to my Apple II repair pages. There seems to be an increasing number of threads about repairing systems and I figured it might help someone.

http://www.willegal.net/appleii/appleii-repair.htm - look for the links at the end of this page.

To summarize, I think that learning how the system works and troubleshooting through use of proper engineering tools is the most effective way to go.

CP/M Suggestions

Submitted by bushnrvn on December 10, 2014 - 2:16am

So I'm always trying to find new things to do with my Apple II. I was talking with a friend about the Microsoft Softcard and I figured it was time I started to explore CP/M. My question is this - Is the MS Softcard good enough for a solid CP/M experience? Anyone have any experience with a CP/M native machine (preference?) Emulator suggestions?

Thanks.

Apple iigs power supply problem

Submitted by insanitor on December 9, 2014 - 5:02am

I've got an Apple iigs power supply Model number 699-0126. The voltages coming out of it are low. I have two others which are completely non functional. I suppose I might be able to use some parts from those to fix this one but I don't know what parts commonly fail on these particular power supplies.

Any ideas?

Capturing Apple II video with a modern computer

Submitted by Corey986 on December 7, 2014 - 7:53am

So I want to make some screen videos of he Apple II screens. Don't want to use an emulator or have a camera.

The challenge is how off the Apple II color video is from real NTSC. There is no guarantee a Composite to USB adapter will pickup the color image. Has anyone had any luck with a specific model or brand. I'm looking for one that is OSX compatible since I have a Mac.

Thanks,
Corey

Help! I finally got me an Apple IIe!

Submitted by CarLover on December 5, 2014 - 10:43pm

Greetings!

I'm mainly a Commodore user (flame suit on!) but have always respected the Apple IIe and wanted one. Well, after 30+ years, I finally got one today. Very happy!

Faulty II Plus motherboard - Won't boot, garbage or nothing on screen

Submitted by torindkflt on December 1, 2014 - 7:14pm

Greetings. If you've been following my previous thread (Apple II Plus Bad Memory/ROM? - The saga continues), you'll recall that I recently purchased an Apple II Plus motherboard with the intention of using it to replace the faulty motherboard I already had. Unfortunately, it turned out that the eBay motherboard was even less functional than the one I already had.
