Apple IIgs with Uthernet card and Spectrum (SIS)

Submitted by vapor on April 3, 2010 - 3:38pm

Hello all:

I am trying to get my IIgs (with Uther) to work in Spectrum. I have it working just fine with Contiki, HTTP to HFS for downloading disk images, etc.

However, when I try to connect to the Internet with SIS (Spectrum Internet Suite) it tells me there is a problem connecting to the server. I have it set for direct connect, have the TCP/IP stack loaded in the control panel and have the IP address set for the server. Any ideas? Is there a separate Uther driver I need or something to that effect?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Apple II Plus - defective color killer?

Submitted by Lancaster on April 2, 2010 - 11:54pm

I have a II+ (rev 07) and I've found that when I adjust the pot to a more intense signal, the color killer in text mode abruptly fails and I get green/purple bleeding. If I adjust it even higher, the green/purple switches to red/blue.

The color killer only works for very low intensities - hardly bright enough to be usable.

I've tried replacing 74LS259, with no effect. Any ideas on what else I should check?

Does any know the name of this Apple II game?

Submitted by murdj on April 1, 2010 - 11:28pm

Hi, I have fond memories of Apple II computers at school and recall playing a game based around an island, hidden treasure and pirates. The player had to move around the island and complete challenges.

I can't remember the name of it and would love to see if it was available on any emulation platforms.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Dan

Initially looked like they had pulled it off, but after a brief inspection it was revealed for the April Fools joke it was.

This is no joke.

I have a Prairie Pack I am trying to get up and running on one of my IIc systems. I was wondering if anyone out there has any manuals, specs or other information to help me get this thing up and, specifically, in finding the correct battery replacement (25 year old battery is obviously dead now).

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Crazy Apple II Printing Question

Submitted by Simon27 on March 26, 2010 - 6:57am

So I was looking at this Apple II Epson parallel printer card on eBay and noticed that the connector on it is exactly the same as the one on the back of my 10 year old Epson photo 870 printer.

Is there even the remotest chance that the (relatively) new printer could be used with an Apple II!?
