Apple II joystick -> USB?

Submitted by omnirune on February 2, 2010 - 6:00pm

I was curious if anyone was aware of an adapter to convert vintage Apple II joysticks to USB for usage with modern Apple II emulators?

I have seen such adapters for the commodore, but they only enable one button for Apple joysticks and not the secondary fire. Any ideas?

Sequential Systems Q-100 Expansion Card

Submitted by gsmcten on January 20, 2010 - 5:31pm

Good evening all,

I am looking for information on a Sequential Systems Q-100 Expansion Card.
I tried Google and got nowhere.
I know Sequential Systems made RAM cards and interface cards, but this card (with a daughter card and another via cable attached card) is up for auction on eBay and I do not want to bid on it without reading about it or knowing what I'm bidding on first.
No manual comes with it. It looks like a RAM Expansion, but I am not sure what the functions are of the daughter card and extra atached card are.

Anyone have a clue?

Hi to all,
I've had in the '90 an apple IIe that I enhanced form myself then I had the bad idea to sell it... Now I'd like to search for another one to use it (program and games) to remember my "good old days".
I have started to searching for an Apple II Europlus (I always dreamed to have one) but I saw there are some limitations with new hardware sold on the WEB. So I decided to return to the IIe.
Here my questions:

Apple II software collectors?

Submitted by Jim_GS on January 12, 2010 - 9:50am

Hi all,

I have always enjoyed reading the hardware discussions here in the forum, but I am interestied in finding out how many of you collect Apple II and IIgs software. I am not talking about the readily available downloadable disk images, but the orginal software complete in the box. My personal collection of orginal software complete in the box is currently around 156 titles. A modest collection compared to a few collectors I know.

Cards, Cards, and more Cards.

Submitted by gsmcten on December 10, 2009 - 6:10am

Baskets full of expansion cards ( Not BIG baskets, lol )have shown up on eBay the last few days.
AE and other manufacturers' 1.5 Meg Memory cards, 1 Meg memory cards, RGB cards, ROM cards, Accelerators, Controllers, modems, etc.
They all have reasonable starting bids associated with them and they all seem to be in pretty good shape. Some are just the cards (with or without associated cables) and some come complete in the box with software.
It's a good time to look for expansion cards if you are in the market, or have a wish list to be filled.

Ah Yes.....It's an Apple II Christmas on eBay

Submitted by gsmcten on December 1, 2009 - 5:33am

Why is it that every year about this time folks break out thier "Lost Treasures!", "Kept in a closet for 20 years!", "Squeaky Clean!", "Ultra Rare!!" Apple II and Mac items?

They could have placed these things up for auction any time during the year and probably sold them with no problems for a reasonable amount, but they always wait until Christmas when they think that they can jack up the price (not only of the item, but for shipping too) and get away with it.
