Zip Technology Hard Card, Apple II

Submitted by littlejohn on February 22, 2008 - 9:28pm

Hello Everyone,

I am looking for any information on the Zip Technology Hard Card. It is an Apple II internal hard drive like the Focus Drive. Zip made them in the last part of '89 before they closed their doors forever.
I have been led to believe that BurgerBill (aka Bill Heineman) did the original design. After Zip quit, I believe Steve Parsons - Parsons Engineering sold the cards.
In a post from 1995, in CSA2, Todd P. Whitesel states that he had the software disk for the Zip Hard card. But I have been unable to contact any of the above people.

Apple IIgs won't display graphics correctly

Submitted by austinramsay on February 22, 2008 - 8:52pm

My IIgs is working fine except for one issue I would like to fix. It gets really annoying playing games like Choplifter, Conan, Frogger, etc. Even software like Alpha plot, Beagle Graphics and other software that use Hi-Res/normal graphics. When displaying Hi-Res, it does not show vertical lines correctly, and maybe this is just a thing with the IIgs but when I play games on it like Choplifter, it does not display correctly, like things are darker or lighter than they are supposed to be. I am using an apple iic green monochrome monitor if you need to know.

ACS for Apple II

Submitted by Jim_GS on February 19, 2008 - 1:25pm

Back in the eighties I was always a sucker for the construction set games for the Apple. I fired up Adventure Construction Set by Stuart Smith on my GS the other day and got drawn in for a few hours. Although primitive by todays standards it was quite a powerful tool for its time.

Apple 5.25 drive boots before 3.5

Submitted by austinramsay on February 17, 2008 - 12:43pm

Okay, I know I have been posting too many questions and need a lot of help, and I wish I could help you people out, but I can barely help myself! (lol) I will try to help other people when I learn more about this stuff, it's hard to remember everything from sometimes over 20 years ago! Anyway, when using my IIgs, it always tries to look at things in the 5.25 drive instead of the 3.5 drive where I want it to.

Apple II+ question....

Submitted by A2forever on February 12, 2008 - 1:20pm

I have an Apple II+ , and want to improve the apple's memory.... I remember back in the day , that there were certain rom boards that one could use , to beef up the apple's memory from 64k to 128K , infact I remember there was a board that I had at one time , that actaully had DOS 3.3 on it! And when I would bootup the apple , it would drop to a DOS promt and I could actually do basic commands right from there! Catalog , etc... but getting back to the board , if someone could suggest a board , that would be great , this way I could run Apple //e programs on my II+
