Apple II

Hi everyone,

I have been following this forum for some time now, but this is my first post. Recently I bought an Apple ][+ from an auction site. After some work on the PSU I was able to proceed to the garbage screen phase :-) What happens is:

1) The power is fine, the keyboard lamp lights,2) there is a beep,3) the screen looks as attached, the contents are more or less random, but some 8-column pattern emerges,4) pushing reset on the keyboard does nothing.

Hello,

one of the RAM chips in the middle memory row of my rev 2 is different from the others, which really bugs me when looking at it :-)

Does anyone know where I could source one of the gold ones (NEC D416D)?

Thanks for any help,

Carsten

I have a binary file (asm program) that I've been using AppleCommander to place onto a DSK image, which I can then load into AppleWin. The program runs as I'd expect it to, but to use it I need to "BRUN <program>" from the initial Applesoft prompt. I know that the HELLO program on the disk is executed on boot, and that INIT can place the current BASIC program as the HELLO program and thereby run that program on boot. However, I'd like to run my binary file at boot up as if it were HELLO.

As mentioned in my "five new open-source Apple II cards" thread, my friend and I have developed some new Apple II card hardware, so the first one I figured I'd try to finish is the RAM2E (GW4203) for Apple IIe. This card goes in the auxillary slot and adds 2 megabytes of bank-switched RAM, switchable by writing the RAM bank address into the softswitch at C073.
