PLS play test my Apple ][ game

Submitted by RockbadgerX on February 3, 2015 - 12:14am

Hi there,

Some of you may remember some time ago I mentioned I was creating a text based game in Applesoft. Well, Ta-Da! The main engine is finished. I'm hoping many of you will enjoy play testing this retro '82 experience. I am aware of a few 'bugs'. Back in the day they were bugs and not glitches, but, meh.

I've begun a project to change the PSU of my IIGS to accept 220V directly. This project is based on Drew Biegs' solution. Read about my project and see a couple of piocturess here.

A few weeks back in the "THIS is Laughable!" thread, georgel brought our attention to:

and
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DS1216E-Manu-DALLAS-Encapsulation-DIP-SmartWatch-RAM-16K-66K16K-66KROMRAM-/131169025116

I went to the fist one on that list and offered them $12 for two. They arrived about a week ago and I installed them and tested them today.

KansasFest 2015 Information?

Submitted by qbradq on January 26, 2015 - 10:12am

I was woundering if anyone knows anything more about KansasFest 2015 other than what is currently published on their website? Specifically I am looking for any sort of confirmation that there will be a conference this year other than the clock counting down on the right-hand side of the page. Dates would be awesome too.

Early Apple II+ - Rev 3 board?

Submitted by Zan8675 on January 24, 2015 - 9:02am

Hey all, just picked up this II+ and it is the earliest revision II+ I have ever had. Serial #4068.

It appears to me it is a Rev 3 board based on the photos (see attachments) and the research I have done, including this site and others.

What is a Fair Price for an Apple IIe?

Submitted by qbradq on January 23, 2015 - 10:36pm

So I want to get an Apple IIe system with floppy drive and monitor in working condition. Scratches, writing etc acceptable. I've done a little research on eBay and seen such systems sell from $80 to $1500 within the past 90 days. That is quite the spread.

Can I get some opinions on what a fair market value for the above would be?

Please note this is not a solicitation to purchase.

Thank you!

Apple ][GS newbie questions

Submitted by KLund1 on January 22, 2015 - 3:18am

Hi all,
A few months ago I got my very first Apple computer, a llgs!! I know nothing about Apples. I got the book 'The New Apple II Users Guide' and it is very helpful. My system is a ROM 3 with 2x 3.5" , & 1x 5.25" FDD's. The system powers up and says 'check system devices'. None of the 3.5" or 5.25" disks that came with it boot. I get the same message for each disk. I do not have a prodos, or gs/os disk. I would like both OS diskzs. I could not find 'real' disks on an ebay search (though I may be using the wrong terms in the search). I have a Win98 machine with a 360k 5.25" drive, working USB connection, and internet access. I have lots of 5.25" blank disks. My main multiboot (XP thru Win10) only has USB, & BD/RW.
How can I get the IIgs up and running with an OS and some games?
Thanks
