DOS in ROM - impossible?

Submitted by galaxina on May 5, 2014 - 12:30pm

I'm sure there's a very simple technical explanation why it can't be done, but I've not found it yet.

I saw this today:

Not cheap. Note that it is not the same size as the original.
There is also a Disk II styled USB SD card reader.

CF on a Vulcan

Submitted by Wayne on April 30, 2014 - 9:46pm

There has been a bit of discussion on some sites about using a compact flash with an ide adapter to connect to a Vulcan hard drive controller. While looking through some stuff, I discovered I had a 16mb CF. Connected it via adapter to a IIgs Vulcan controller. Formatted alright with the AE Partition Manager and showed up on the IIgs desktop. So I copied the hard drive over and proceeded to boot off the Vulcan controller.

I found some Apple II floppies in the basement and a rare game that doesn't appear to be on the FTP site may be on one. Where do I send them?

My first Apple ///

Submitted by Zan8675 on April 27, 2014 - 8:26pm

Evening all (at least evening where I am!)

Decided to dip into the Apple III arena and picked one up today. The machine is in desperate need of a cleaning, but everything works. Comes w/a PKASO printer card and Corvus Interface card w/cable.

][+ working disk controller, does not load disks

Submitted by galaxina on April 27, 2014 - 4:19pm

After SpeedyG's excellent advice about my keyboard troubles, my ][+ can now be semi-used.

However, it's revealed a new problem : it can't read disks!

I have tried 2 working Disk II controllers in this II, with known working drives.

It powers them up and makes the usual clacking sound, but does not make any disk reading sounds.

These drives work perfectly in my other machine.

I tried the controller card in various slots, it doesn't work in any of them.

Hi. I'm one of those who grew up in europe where Apple were a brand only seen in magazines and later in advertising agencies.
