Best place to sell original Apple II

Submitted by old_hitech on December 27, 2013 - 1:00pm

Hi, I have been reading a number of posts on this site and think that the visitors to this site are the most knowledgeable whenit comes to Apple II computers. I have been a collector of Apple computers for years. I learned to program on an original Apple II and have been using Apple IIs and Macs over the years. I do not post messages a lot as I have an aging Mom, work and the rest of my family that keep me very busy. I have an original Apple II computer that is in good shape and would like to sell it to an Apple II fan/collector/user. Where is the best place to sell this computer?

Apple IIGS Logicboard question

Submitted by robbo007 on December 24, 2013 - 7:38pm

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if the US version of the Apple IIGS logicboard will work with a UK Apple IIGS Power supply?

I have a UK Apple IIGS and have some problems with the logic board. I've sourced a US one on ebay but not sure if the voltages etc are the same?
Thanks,

"Sophistication and Simplicity", Randy Brandt, and JEM Software

Submitted by gsmcten on December 23, 2013 - 6:56pm

Good Evening All,

I have been reading my copy of "Sophistication and Simplicity"
and I just finished reading a section on Randy Brandt and JEM Software.

Well, you will have to excuse my ignorance, but in all the years since 1985,
when I bought my first Apple II and my first copy of AppleWorks,
I never knew that Randy had a company called JEM Software.

Apple IIe Disk II issue

Submitted by blackswan on December 18, 2013 - 12:02am

Hi,

now I tried my Apple IIe again with ProDOS 3.3 and a Disk II drive. Strange behavior: After powering on with a beep, the disk drive starts chattering once (repositioning?), then spinning a while than chattering more (sounds bad) and afterwards beeping and prompting:

180A- A=00 X=00 Y=18 P=FF S=FC

Does someone know, what's wrong here? Short video: http://youtu.be/ziDHAfsZ8-8

Apple IIe with C= 1084S

Submitted by blackswan on December 17, 2013 - 1:08am

Hello,

I was wondering if I can use my Apple IIe with a Commodore 1084S. I connected everything and got a picture as well. But as it is a little bit blurred I'm wondering if this can be improved. Connected the RCA plug to the CVBS plug of the 1084S. Pictures show the screen on a LCD (svideo input), on a 1084S and the setup of the 1084S. Left button pushed, right button not.

A 21st keyboards

Submitted by falter on December 14, 2013 - 1:58am

I'm trying to find clarification on this. Was there any sort of sequence to the different keyboards used on the original Apple IIs? I've seen some with earlier serials than my A2s1 case that have the keyboard with the power 'button' that looks similar to the II+, then earlier still that have the brown raised button like mine. I'm just wondering if the one in mine is correct, or if Apple used the different designs all over the place.

Apple II power supply wiring

Submitted by falter on December 13, 2013 - 8:12pm

Hey guys,

I was going to try getting this 'DIY' Apple II turned on, just to see if it's alive. It came with a European power supply. The wires are all marked with the different voltages. If I understand correctly, there are six: 2 GND, 1 +5V, 1 +12V, 1 -5V, 1 -12V. I have an Apple II power supply here.. Model 699-0133. I figure the two black wires must be GND but am unsure what the other colors are anyone know where I could find something that details those?

Another dumb question from your friendly neighbor Javster: Can I use the memory chips from a IIgs card to populate a //c expansion card? I just got an empty card and want to get the memory.

Apple //c web browsing

Submitted by javster on December 12, 2013 - 11:47pm

Happy holidays to all. I know I will get some lynching, but searched everywhere and couldn't find info specific for the //c. I want to know if sombody has successfully browsed with a //c, using contiki. If so, how to connect to an Ethernet cable? My guess is via a modem, or a direct serial cable to another computer. Maybe using the Raspberry Pi as an internmediate connector? Any help would be really appreciated.
Cheers
