Apple IIe Mouse

Submitted by k4lmp on November 13, 2012 - 11:40am

I am wanting a mouse for my Apple IIe, and currently have one of the 670-0030 boards installed in the Apple. Will the A2M2070 mouse work with this board? I notice that there is a site for 'Apple Rescue of Denver' that has the A2M2070 mouse in stock, anyone ever buy from them? I just wonder if they are a reputable company. Are there any other mice that will work with the board that I have? Thanks.

Just Bought Another A//e

Submitted by k4lmp on November 12, 2012 - 1:38pm

I was wondering about the motherboard, which I think is 607-0187-E. It looks to have 2 64Kx4 RAM chips instead of the 8 chips. I guess it is a later version than what I have now, which is 820-0087-A 1984 607-0187. I was just wondering what are the differences, other than the number of RAM chips? Would I be better off to using the one I just bought if everything is OK, and using my original with the older MB as a spare, or for parts? I couldn't pass this one up, it showed up on ebay for $49 with free shipping (I hate that 'buy it now' button).

Apple Monitor III leaving trails behind moving pixels

Submitted by apple2ee on November 10, 2012 - 3:03am

Hi, my Apple Monitor III is leaving green trails behind moving images even on the lowest and dimmest settings. Lots of slow fade on text too. I don't remember this happening when it was new but I could be wrong. Does this mean the monitor is failing? If so, what do you suggest? Are there repair services available or should I try to buy another one on Ebay? Thanks.

II GS Battery Replacement

Submitted by k4lmp on October 30, 2012 - 1:40pm

I have a ROM0 GS, that has the original battery inside that hasn't leaked (yet). I would like to replace it, but was thinking about cutting the leads close to the battery, soldering wires to the exterior of the unit, and maybe putting a battery holder outside for quick replacement. Can you use, say 3 NiCads as a replacement, which would be 3.6v? That way they could be charged every so often, and replaced. Does the GS charge the battery when the power is on?
