Apple II

I have a LCA-1 and it doesn't seem to be working. I loaded up AppleWriter II and my lowercase is just some random pixels. I do not have the Manual any longer and do not know what needs to be done to get the thing to work.  Any one with knowledge is appreciated.  

I remember years ago, an article about constructing a light pen in one of the old mags. It may have been CALL APPLE, InCider, or another. 

Does anyone else here recall that? I think that we made one back in the early 80s, and I know that we had one in the office, but I do not frankly recall it ever getting much use, and I do not remember if it was a handmade piece or a commercial piece, only that we wanted to use it for a spreadsheet programme, but because of the limited audience that did not happen.

Hey guys.  I recently acquired one of the ReactiveMicro TWGS cards, clocked at 16MHz.  It's pretty darn sweet.

However, there is a problem in the ribbon cable that goes between the card and the CPU socket.  Intermittent connection.  It works if I bend the ribbon cable a certain way, but it's not reliable.

Hi,

I recently got a Apple //e for my collection. It is a European one (with the switch on the downside of the keyboard).

For informtion I looked thru the SAMS Apple //e and I realized that my board is not listed in there.

All boards have the AUX-slot on the left side beneath the PSU. Mine has the AUX-slot directly behind slot 3, so I cannot use this slot anymore when my 80cols/64kb extention card is pluged in. Also slotfinder lists the card as inserted in slot 3.

Do I have any special board or is this normal for european systems?
