Wrong power supply

Submitted by Wayne on June 8, 2025 - 5:05pm

I went to boot a spare IIgs and found that the aluminum power supply had stopped working. I was getting 3v out of 2 connections and less than 1 volt out of the other 2. I opened it up and was surprised to find a wrong power supply inside. A Tiger PS and except for 1 screw it was siliconed in. Probably came out of a II+ clone. Since the original PS is gone I guess I’ll put in a better replacement. I’ll likely use a Rel-70-4004 I have on hand. It’s a medical PS that puts out all the right voltages.

Apple IIe EF and CD ROM specs?

Submitted by gmc on June 2, 2025 - 2:57pm

I've got a dead Apple IIe with suspect EF and and CD ROM's

 

342-0134

342-0135

 

I read somewhere that these can be replaced with 27C64 ROM's.  Are they 27C64 ROM's which can be read with the programmer to confirm if they are valid?

 

I've tried  reading them as M27C64 ROMs but pin 1 on both fails and if I ignore that it returns 0xFF for all addresses. 

 

So first off what chips are these and can they be read with a moderm programmer, and can they be replaced with a 27C64?

Looking for an Apple II FujiNet

Submitted by gf65 on June 2, 2025 - 12:32pm

Hello,

I attempted to build the FujiNet matching the PCB on fujinet-hardware/AppleII/FujiApple-DevKit-Combo-Rev1 at master · FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-hardware · GitHub

Unfortunately despite testing all components, I have a hardware issue so it doesn't work.

Since I already have the flashed ESP32 module, I'm looking to purchase a functional FujiNet module in which I could just plug in my ESP32. A complete kit is possible as an alternative.

IIe cases

Submitted by Wayne on May 30, 2025 - 2:40pm

I guess I never looked too closely at my stealth IIgs before. I removed the top case for the first time and found something interesting.

Since it has a later style top case I thought that the keyboard would be attached to the case but it’s attached to the baseplate. I guess the top case must be an intermediate as there’s no way to fasten the keyboard to it.

I’d thought that there were 3 top cases. The early one with the Velcro cover latches, the later one with keyboard fastened to the top case and of course the platinum IIe.

Help with Apple iie Diagnostics.

Submitted by Peter_L on May 29, 2025 - 12:42pm

Hello,

When I run the in-built diagnostics, I get a result of a full screen of @ symbols.

The system does seem to test the RAM first, with the normal white lines making a full white block ( the RAM also has been successfully tested on another Apple  ).

Does anyone know what the diagnostics tests in the system after the RAM? Or where the fault might be?

Thank you for your help

Peter
