RTC 2019 Still Available?

Submitted by khvtechsurrect on May 12, 2025 - 5:56pm

Is the RTC 2019 board still possible to get hold off from any seller? Looking to get hold of RTC to my A2e while the no slot solution is what I've found it's my understanding you need to run with patched version of ProDOS. Also, what slot is would these card be using (which might be I the end to avoid such card if it conflicts with other existing cards)?

Can ESP32 Softcard Composite Output Be Adapted To Use The Apple RGB Monitor?

Submitted by mcbeav on May 11, 2025 - 4:40pm

I want to put an ESP32 Softcard in my IIGS, but I don't want to have to switch monitors, or have a secondary monitor for the ESP32 Softcard. Can the composite output from the ESP32 Softcard be adapter to display on the Apple RGB Monitor? If so, then I can think about designing some sort of Apple RGB input switcher.

[Apple IIgs Rom 01] No sound from the speaker or the headphone jack

Submitted by Slush_Puppie on May 6, 2025 - 9:30am

Hello, my Apple IIgs is running perfectly except for the fact that there is no sound from the speaker or headphone jack. When I plug in my headphones I hear the initial static "pop" but nothing else.

 

The only multimeter testing Ive done so far has revealed that the speaker seems to have a short. There is continuity between the two leads at the speaker but not at the pin header. This would be fine if I could plug in external speakers.

 

Any ideas as to where to test from there or links to good service manuals?

[Apple IIgs Rom 01] Installing GS.OS v6.0.4 with only MicroDrive Turbo CF Card?

Submitted by Slush_Puppie on May 5, 2025 - 3:04pm

Hello,

     I recently acquired an Apple IIgs Rom 01 with a 2mb RAM expansion card and have installed Reactive Micro's MicroDrive Turbo with a preloaded CF card, as well as their PSU kit. I'm attempting to install GS.OS v6.0.4 but I'm having difficulty as I do not have a working floppy drive. I have a 32mb partition on which I have all of the 6.0.4 files and I can run the Installer, but when I've chosen the volume I want to update the Easy Update program it wants me to insert the Install Disk.

NEWPRINT/Multi anyone?

Submitted by mreg376 on May 4, 2025 - 8:51am

Anyone with experience with this?  It claims to work with a parallel card in the II series to send printed output over WiFi to a Mac or PC using a web interface, from which you can print from the Mac or PC.

80 column card

Submitted by martin72 on April 26, 2025 - 7:02pm

I've a 80 column card for the Apple II+ and I don't have video on a videomonitor. Does someone recognize this card and does know how this card works.There are twoconnectors at the top left corner, does someone know which of them is the video output and what is the purpose of the other connector? There's a UM6845 video controller and CXK5816PN (2048 word x 8 Bit High Speed CMOS Static RAM) on the card. It seems it is not a standard Videx card.

Submitted by DeanClaxton on April 26, 2025 - 7:16am

Hi all,

 

I have a Mockingboard clone from Capital Computer Co called a Super Mocking Board. It has a number of neat features - one of which I'm puzzled by.
