Ordered a II+ Motherboard

Submitted by gts250gamer101 on May 31, 2018 - 10:30am

Hey all,

A while back I posted regarding my Apple II+. I believe that it is the Bell and Howell model, however, I do not think that is the case due to the fact that it is the normal II+ logo. (presumably was painted by the owner)

The Compleat Apple CP/M by Steven M Frankel

Submitted by jwg1962 on May 31, 2018 - 7:46am

Hello fellow Fritters,

I was wondering if anyone out there has a copy or knows where to get a copy of the book "The compleat Apple CP/M" by Steven M Frankel ? I am hoping to do a talk on the Apple II and CP/M and this book would be a huge reference for me.

I have looked on eBay and searched libraries near me to no avail. I was unsucessful in finding any scans of it either.

I would be willing to purchase this, rent it, or borrow it until the begining of August.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Jay

Apple IIe on off

Submitted by clockchip on May 28, 2018 - 5:03am

Hello

how long must I wait when I power off the Appe IIe before i can turn it on again.

Because when i turn it off and on (waiting 1-2 Sec) it shows me some charater mismatch on the screen.

Is this normal to Apple II Systems ?

Hello,

I am new here in the forum and have a question about my recently purchased APPLE IIe.

Switches are soldered to the back of the motherboard via a long cable.

Can anyone explain the purpose of these switches?

Thank you for your help

Compiled Apple Startrek (Appletrek)

Submitted by wsander on May 23, 2018 - 2:40pm

In about 1984 I got a copy of the Flash Integer Basic compiler and made a compiled version of the Apple II Startrek (later Appletrek) game. The complied version is much faster than the Integer Basic version and significantly improves the playing experience. Anyone who played the game in the old days should try this version.

Restoring Apple II systems for a friends widow

Submitted by Bagpuss on May 21, 2018 - 5:45am

Hi All,

I'm really hoping that someone on here can help me.

One of my best friends passed away just over a year ago from a brain tumour. We'd worked together at Sun for many years, and I regularly stayed with him and his family when I was working out of the Camberley UK offices.

When I was helping his widow go through his tech stuff, I found the computers which started it all for him... his Apple II's.
I've not yet looked at them too closely, but I know that the X2 caps in the PSU will need to be changed before we can try to power them on.

Restoring an old Apple IIe unenhanced

Submitted by Tyrins on May 20, 2018 - 3:49pm

Hi to everybody,

I'm writing to You 'cause I hope someone can help me:
I found an old apple IIe in the garbage (!!!) so I picked it up and I want to try restore it. There are some problems with ram chips and IOU but I'm working on it.

During the desoldering operations I realized that a component is broken. Unfortunately I am not so expert to recognize it. Can someone help me by giving me the specifications so that I can find a substitute and change it?
