Time is Money now working in Virtual ][

Submitted by MichaelLAX on January 15, 2012 - 3:53pm

The home finance program Time is Money will now work in Virtual ][ starting with version 6.4, which was just newly released.

Thanks to Gerard Putter, this version has a new feature added to the Media menu (Set Disk Properties) which allows the change of the disk file Volume Number from its 254 default (and also you can make disk files Write Protected, which is VERY helpful).

In the case of Time is Money, changing the Volume number to 106 now renders them fully usable in Virtual ][.

non-working Apple //c (Unidisk ROMs) with Applied Engineering Z-RAM board

Submitted by MichaelLAX on January 14, 2012 - 4:27pm

When my original Apple //c died, I was lucky to find a complete package for sale on eBay from a quality collector restorer: Apple //c, with AE Z-Ram board installed, Apple Color Monitor, which I always coveted, and the Apple Monitor stand.

I am thinking about putting the non-function one up on eBay, as it has three points for a good sale:

1. If someone has more patience that I, they can probably clean the motherboard, reseat the chips and get it working again. Currently it lights up but will not access the internal 5.25" disk drive or the external Unidisk 3.5".

Looking for the 342-0372-A Keyboard ROM Image (Enhanced German Apple IIe)

Submitted by FrankD on January 6, 2012 - 10:51pm

Hallo old Apple friends,

i did an upgrade from my German Apple IIe to the Enhanced Apple IIe by changing the CPU to a 65C02, the CD and EF ROMs to EPROMS (342-0304-A and 342-0303-A) and the Video ROM. The Video ROM image is from the reactivemicro site and i think the number is 342-075. Works fine, but some keys are now in the wrong position on my keyboard. Some research told me, that i need also a new Keyboard ROM (342-0372-A) for the USA/German Enhanced Apple IIe.

Compact color monitors for "old school" Apple II appearance?

Submitted by epoxy2600 on January 3, 2012 - 5:10pm

A very popular choice of monitor back in the late 70s for your new Apple II was the Sanyo VM4209/4509 9" security monitor that occupied only half the top of the computer leaving room for Disk II drives on there as well. I love that look. However, those were black and white monitors so you couldn't enjoy the breakthrough color graphics of your new Apple.

II/II Plus daughterboard Keyboard 25 pin connector replacement question

Submitted by Corey986 on January 2, 2012 - 5:34am

I'm looking for a place to buy a keyboard connector, not the male side on the daughterboard but the female 25 pin connector on keyboard that the daughterboard connects into.

Does anyone know a digikey or mouser part number that works? Actually any source I can order one and not have to spend a fortune in line item minimums would be good.

Thanks,
Corey

Looking for Technical Documentation on the Rockwell, R65C03, ( if it exists..)

Submitted by MarkO on December 31, 2011 - 11:55pm

Hello All;

I also just received an Apple //e Enhanced, and was looking at the Motherboard and noticed the CPU is a Rockwell R65C03.

Google has NOT BEEN my Friend while looking for what makes this Rockwell chip different from the R65C02 or the WDC W65C02S6PG-xx or the Synertek SYx6502

I get lots of Google Hits, to pages where you can Search for the R65C03, but no Actual Information.. The Synertek SYx6502 document shows a SYP6503 and SYC6503, but at 28 pins, I don't thing it replaces a 65C02...

Again, Thanks in advance...

Wilderness (A Survival Adventure)

Submitted by Twilight_Rodent on December 31, 2011 - 6:59pm

Wilderness (A Survival Adventure) or what to do after you crash your flight simulator.

Did not know this to until recently. But their were 5 additional Wilderness Country Disks.

That would be Bolivia, Burma, British Columbia, Chile, and New Guinea. Never seen these other disks for the program.

If any one has them I would like to talk to them.
