AppleColor composite monitor problem

Submitted by dramsey on March 11, 2013 - 8:39pm

I just received an AppleColor composite monitor, model A2M6020, and it has a little problem: everything displays as purple.

Well, it can do blue and orange as well. But 80 column text? Purple. White lines? Purple.

The tint, color, and "white only" button on the front of the monitor have no visible effect on the display.

My guess is that the green electron gun is kaput and that there's no reasonable way to repair it, and I should probably send it back. Opinions?

Spontaneous reboots due to overheating?

Submitted by dramsey on March 11, 2013 - 4:34pm

After a couple of hours of Pascal work on my //e, it starts to spontaneously reboot. After the first reboot, you can sit there, doing nothing, and it will reboot at 5-10 minute intervals.

It seems to run fine with the lid removed, so I suppose it could be a heat related problem. My system has:

-- Applied Engineering RAMWorks III card with 1MB RAM
-- Applied Engineering Transwarp accelerator
-- Super Serial card
-- Mouse card
-- Disk II controller card

UCSD Pascal RAM disk for AE cards

Submitted by dramsey on March 10, 2013 - 4:15pm

It turns out it does exist after all, although not in the otherwise excellent Applied Engineering Repository. You can find it on ftp.asimov.net here:

Is there a difference in number of sectors when using different model DISK II I/O Controllers?

What is the best way to get CPM software on to the Apple with CPM card

Submitted by Corey986 on March 8, 2013 - 7:12am

OK now that the ALS CPM card is up and running with CPM 3

I now have to get software that I can run on it.

I know in the old days people just sent the files over serial. These days I think we have more options.

So first, this is on an Apple II, not plus or IIe so I can't run ProDos above 1.1/1.2.

I have a super serial card, CFFA3000 and a couple of Disk II drives.

Repurposed Pentium III for ADT & CFFA

Submitted by Keatah on March 7, 2013 - 4:56pm

Through a bizzarre series of events I came to fix'n'up an old Pentium III machine to act as an ADT & CFFA "server".

This is neat and practical because I can view live video from my Apple //e on the same monitor as ADT and Windows Explorer windows. Great for pushing files around and making disks. Also good for download from asimov straight into the real Apple where you can make a PC directory appear as a virtual disk.

Apple IIgs keyboard corruption: Repair ideas?

Submitted by Eudimorphodon on March 7, 2013 - 1:10pm

Problem:

I was given a completely peripheral-less ROM 01 Apple IIgs "Woz Edition" the other day. Hoping to have some fun with it I spent a few bucks on an ADB keyboard, mouse, and serial cable (all the parts I could get from Weirdstuff), and was in the process of trying to hunt down a floppy drive when it occurred to me it would probably be a good idea to test the machine. And it has a problem.

AE Ramworks with Pascal?

Submitted by dramsey on March 6, 2013 - 10:28pm

AE's advertising for the Ramworks III card specifically says:

RamWorks III can be used as a solid state disk with DOS 3.3, PASCAL, CP/M and ProDos (up to 5,700 blocks free)!

Presumably this would require a device driver of some sort under Pascal. However, I can't find one anywhere-- it certainly doesn't seem to be on the AE software disks.

Did this ever exist?
