My Second Rev. 0 Apple II

Submitted by Zan8675 on May 23, 2014 - 10:26pm

Just got back from picking up an Apple II and could not be more thrilled. My first one (mine from childhood) went to a good home and helped me pay bills and continue my habit (Apple II and Compact Macs are my passion)

This one will do more of the same and will allow me to continue doing what I enjoy, paying a few bills and moving the joy onto the next owner.

Zip chip in Apple ///?

Submitted by dramsey on May 23, 2014 - 9:42pm

Here's a question: would a Zip Technologies Zip Chip work in an Apple ///?

I can't see any obvious reason it wouldn't. Presumably one could boot into the emulator to make any settings changes.

Well, maybe the Zip's expecting an Apple ][ architecture.

Hm. Didn't Apple do something similar for the Iic Plus? Wonder if that package would work in a ///?

Lots of Apple /// pictures

Submitted by dramsey on May 22, 2014 - 10:57pm

OK, just for you guys, here are the Apple /// photos. First, the whole collection of boxes I picked up from retired Apple engineer Jim Thomas:

Here's the /// peeking out into the world for the first time in 30 years (well, actually, not, but let's pretend):

The accessories box has the manuals, disks, and a power and composite video cable.

Here we go...

But first! All the dealer promo stuff:

And the Disk ///:

What will happen to Applewin with Berlios.de gone?

What will happen to Applewin with Berlios.de gone?

Somebody said it's on sourceforge, but I didn't see a discussion forum. And the "front page" lists a much older version. 1.18 IIRC when in reality it is 1.24.

Use DuoDisk Drive With More Modern Computer

Submitted by grandta13 on May 17, 2014 - 10:29pm

I have a DuoDisk drive that I would like to interface with a newer computer. I have a port replicator, an iMac G3, and a Windows 7 x64 machine. What would I need in order to interface the drive with one of these?

Apple /// works perfectly

Submitted by dramsey on May 17, 2014 - 6:42pm

After taking out the motherboard and power supply revealed no obvious problems-- the interior of the machine was squeaky clean and dust-free after 30 years of storage-- I powered it up for the first time.

Everything works perfectly!

Disk Help

Submitted by Zan8675 on May 15, 2014 - 9:59pm

I am familiar with a lot of Apple II stuff but I personally have never seen or used this disk before. I'm sure many of you guys know its purpose!
It boots like the DOS 3.3 Basics disk in a few seconds time and then asks me to "Insert Basic Disk and press return key"

I actually have three of them but have no clue. (plus, I don't know what the disk is for Smile

Silentype on Apple ///

Submitted by dramsey on May 15, 2014 - 2:45pm

I understand that the Apple /// has a Silentype printer port built in. I see Silentypes on eBay every now and then. From what I can tell, they used 8.5" wide thermal paper rolls, and this size still seems to be widely available for fax machines.

Can the Silentype use modern thermal paper? And is it a reasonable choice for an Apple ///? I could always use my existing Epson dot matrix printer, but Apple /// parallel cards aren't that common...
