IIgs wont boot GS/OS

Submitted by austinramsay on February 10, 2008 - 2:43pm

When starting up my IIgs and booting GS/OS, and it responds -

Unable to load START.GS.OS file. Error=$0027

It was working fine today and all the sudden won't boot anymore except it will boot from a 5.25 inch disk. Please help, I can't believe it's not booting!

Microtek serial parallel card??

Submitted by trogdor on February 9, 2008 - 10:46pm

Hey all,
Nice forum here Biggrin

I got a nice Apple IIe (with 80 column/64k expansion card, does this make a IIe "Enhanced"?).
Anyway, there is a card inside it, a MicroTek SV622, attached to a female DB25 port. Is this a serial or parallel port? Google has not been helpful, and I've not been able to get ADT to work with it. I can provide pics if it helps.

Apple iigs puts out different color text

Submitted by austinramsay on February 7, 2008 - 7:14pm

When I run any software with color in it, I am using a green monochrome monitor, but I plug the hookup into the TV and the text is many colors, like every letter is a different color, and the apple is differ colors too. Is there a setting I have to change for color monitors? Also, when using GS/OS 6.0.1, while I look at the time, every time another second adds on to the clock I can here something inside the IIgs. Even when the clock is just sitting there waiting to add a second into it. Can I make the time dissapear and stop making it keep track of time? Or can I make that noise stop?

Apple II Dot Matrix printer churns out rubbish

Hi
I have an Apple Dot Matrix Printer here which when connected to my //e only churns out rubbish. I have tried setting the DIP Switches to default (as according to the manual) and checking the cable with no avail and consequently I am pretty much stuck! Any ideas/suggestions anyone?

Thanks!
Tom

Create double-sided floppies

Submitted by austinramsay on February 6, 2008 - 10:35pm

Is it really true that you can make floppies double sided if you cut a small space congruent to the other side to make them double sided. I have heard stories, but don't believe them.

Card not being recognized

Submitted by austinramsay on February 6, 2008 - 8:03pm

I was just on my IIgs and noticed that the IIgs won't recognize the RAM disk card (it's a AST SprintDisk card). And what's the point of storing stuff, if it's only holds until you turn off the computer? Does anybody know what these cards do also:

Orange Printer interface (What printer is it for, it's NEW)
Grappler+ (What printer is it for, it's also NEW!)
Double Vision by Computer stop (What does it even do?)

But I also need help with the AST SprintDisk card....
Thanks!

Submitted by austinramsay on February 4, 2008 - 10:14pm

I have a IIgs and I want to slow it down to play Apple Choplifter. It goes way too fast on all my IIe games and other games. How do I slow it down then boot the disk?
