Is it possible to use a Y-cable on an Apple IIe to connect two 2-button joysticks?

Submitted by apple2ee on March 7, 2009 - 1:51pm

I see some 9-pin Y-cables for sale on Ebay and was wondering if those could be used to connect two 2-button joysticks to an Apple IIe at the same time. I am not interested in 2 player gaming at the same time, but in having the ability to try out 2 different joysticks while playing in single player mode without having to disconnect one and connect the other.

-Thanks

Apple Pascal requires autostart/applesoft?

Submitted by mfortuna on March 7, 2009 - 8:31am

I recently built an Apple II Replica (Mike Willegal's) and for a real vintage feel I decided to use Integer Basic EPROMs.

What I have noticed is Apple Pascal and Wizardy won't boot and complain about not finding system.apple (Pascal) or btstrp.apple (Wizardry).

Both used to boot fine on an Apple II+ board in the same chassis. I did swap floppy drives and that made no difference.

Dos 3.3 and a handful of games boot fine.

Was there a requirement to use Applesoft PROMs?

Thanks,

Mike

Apple II PLUS Keyboard repair question. Weird problems/Mapping

Submitted by rocketscientists on March 5, 2009 - 9:53am

Frustrating while attempting to repair my Apple II PLUS keyboard.

The keyboard design style is "All in one box" not the individual keyswitch of the older versions of Apple II.

After replacing one of the plastic stem for the "3" key, I had successfully repaired that and it works. But to my horror, I have introduced several additional problems which some keys now produce two characters!

PDQ II Co-processor accelerator card for Apple II PLUS/E

Submitted by rocketscientists on March 3, 2009 - 10:38am

Hi,

I have an interesting piece of hardware for my Apple II PLUS. It is the PDQ II by ETC. This is a two slot boardset that contain 256K RAMDISK (Upgradeable to 1 Meg) and a 68000 10Mhz co-processor.

However, over the years (1986) I've managed to lose the documentation on this product. Anyone here has one of these with documentation? Schematics etc? It would be helpful if I could get my hands on them to refresh myself with this and how to upgrade to the 1 Meg size.

Thanks

PC => MAC => Apple IIgs problem

Submitted by jorodr on February 25, 2009 - 6:32am

Hello,
I have bought an old MAC LC630 to transfer files to my lovely Apple IIgs. The IIgs has an external SCSI hard disk, so I'm transferring the files this way.

Installing latest Apple 2gs System Software

Submitted by grantp on February 24, 2009 - 9:16pm

Hi,

I have purchased an Apple 2GS that I want to use to recover my old floppies from high school. However it has OS system 3 which I think is pre GS/OS and that's why it won't read the old DOS 3.3 disks. I checked the Apple web site, and there is 7 disks in total to install the latest version 6 of GS/OS. However the GS machine does not have a hard disk, so does anyone know the procedure on how to install and make a boot disk for an Apple 2GS from the latest system software on the Apple web site if they are running off a 800K floppy based system.

Regards,

Grant

ADT Pro (Apple IIgs & 68k Mac)

Submitted by TheKisho on February 22, 2009 - 9:35pm

I have a Mac LC III and a IIgs. Where can I get a 68k Mac ADT Pro that will run on on System 7? I also have a printer cable from an old StyleWriter II, can I use this to connect to my IIgs if I can get ADT Pro to run and if so how should I connect it (on both sides)?

Broken keyboard - help?

Submitted by rittwage on February 19, 2009 - 7:06pm

Hello friends,

I finally got an old Apple IIe (non-platinum) with a couple of Disk ][ drives off ebay, and of course the seller didn't pack it well and several keys are broken off. Does anyone have or sell the keyswitches (with the stems that go in the keycaps) or just have an old broken keyboard I can buy for parts to make mine whole again?
