Apple II

Hello everyone

I've solved my first problem on this Apple II Europlus i'm trying to repair ; it used to have a 14Mhz clock (!)

Changing a 74S in the clock generatin made it 1Mhz again, it tok a while to figure to right one as this was not the most obvious one (linked to phase 0) but another one, the 4 bit counter.

NOw I have some (pal) video output ; garbage. :(  I've read all topics on this forum about this kind of issue before posting :) Some points to broken links, which does not help.

all, 

Hope I can get some help from the group.

I am debugging a Drive ][ I have where the spindle appears to the running at about half speed.

I haver verified that

               the belt is not slipping

               the spindle (big flywheel) spins freely withe belt removed

               the motor spins freely when not powered

               Adjusting VR1 (to both end points) changes the speed, but never lets me the speed correct (not even close)

All,

       This is kind of a silly question but it has been bothering me. 

       I have two apple //e 's   (badged and verified the motherboards), but one boots up with  the expected banner     Apple //e but then the other one boots with    Apple ][

    Both work like IIe's lower case, applesoft in from, etc.

      Anybody able to tell me what is causing the difference?  

Got my IIgs all tricked out with 3½ and 5¼ floppies, two 20-MB partitions on a CMS SCSI Drive; everything works great.  Finished it off with an A2M6014 RGB Monitor.  Sharp!  No color fringes!  Only problem is... No matter what I set the desktop color in the Control Panel, the desktop is gray.  The DOS screens will be the designated desktop color, but the Desktop.Sys16 is always gray.  Even if I select "Standard" (medium blue/medium blue) in Control Panel, desktop is gray; DOS screens are medium blue, but desktop is gray.
