UniDisk Ejection Motor

Submitted by Leonard R. Miller on May 19, 2018 - 2:21pm

Hello all... I just received an Apple IIC with an external UniDisk 3.5" drive. The mechanics of the drive work great after I cleaned up all the old lithium grease, and re-lubed it. I also replaced the plastic gear in the ejection unit with a new one I got from Ebay. The problem I'm having with the drive is with the ejection motor. It continuously spins and won't shut off. Any ideas? There may be other problems with the drive, but this is as far as I've gotten so far. Ideas? I don't know much about Apple products, but I'm learning.

I want to strangle this //e

Submitted by AjaxOfQWERTY on May 16, 2018 - 2:33am

It has been almost six years since my registration on this forum, but I don't think anyone would care. What comes to the table is my nice flea market find; a revision B //e, with what appears to be some printer card, an unknown peripheral card and a Disk ][ interface. So let's cut to the chase.... doesn't work.

About my Apple IIgs got from eBay

Submitted by pkilam on May 8, 2018 - 7:19pm

Hello Everyone. This is my first time here.
Yesterday, I got my Apple IIgs from eBay. Since I don't have a RGB monitor, I connected the composite port at the back of my IIgs to the rca jack on my LCD monitor. Then powered up my llgs.

The llgs powered up, and i heard 2 BEEPS.., but the LCD monitor displayed the message "No signal"

Repairing Apple II power supply

Submitted by Cordy on April 30, 2018 - 9:57pm

I am attempting to repair an original A2M001 style power supply (not made by Astec) for my Apple II. I need the Bill of Materials and component layout drawing to determine some the values of several burnt resistors. Does this documentation exist?
I have the schematic (from the 1979 Apple II reference manual) but it does not show component values. The power supply board does not have component references silkscreened on it.

RAMKEEPER

Submitted by handyandy on April 30, 2018 - 4:42am

Hi all,

I recently acquired a RAMKEEPER for an Apple IIgs. It came without the external power supply (wall wart) or the gel-cell battery. I'm wondering if I can use a generic wall wart to power the board when the IIgs is powered down. Would anyone have the specs for it? There's a photo of one in the online documentation but the specs are unreadable. Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Andy

Hi again,
I still a newbe for Apple II's. leaning as I go.
I got an Apple II (not plus or e) that shows ? and @ full screen and a blinking cursor at the bottom. There is no applesoft card. Is this 'normal' boot behavior? I get the same with and without the extra cards installed. One card looks like an extra 16K card. It plugs into one of the ram sockets. The other is a Mountain RomPlus card with only one ROM installed. Not shown
