Apple II

Hi everyone. I'm new to the Apple II's, and after poking around a bit, was wondering if there are any disk emulation softwares or mass storage devices from which I can boot standard disk images (particularly games) I have both types of solutions for other 8-bits, so there must (?) be something like this for the Apple. I'm aware only of the CFFA board, but from what I understand about it, it's a pure hard-drive like replacement that only works with ProDOS (or am I wrong?)

Thanks for your tips!

In anticipation of my Apple //e Platinum aquisition (yes, I am FINALLY getting one, so excited), I started gathering up all the Apple II related stuff I have collected over the years. I found a external modem I *Think* can be used, 2400 baud RS232, a 9 pin male to male apple branded serial cable (old apple font, modern tektura or whatever it's called embossed in to both ends), my old mouse from my Plus (plan on swapping it back with the one from a IIc I got at a computer sale, since it's platinum as well), and a few other things.

I remember playing a game on the apple II back in the early 90's. The game had a lot of riddles like "who invented paper?" and there was something about Thomas Edison. Also it seems like there was a dinosaur or dinosaur bones in a room. I don't have a lot of detail, but if someone knows the name of the game that would be great.

Well, after dealing with several of my Apple IIplus computers with shot encoder boards I set out to design a replacement one. Using a microcontroller I was able to design a new encoder board that is smaller and works great. Well, while I was at it, I added a ps/2 keyboard port so you can attach a PC keyboard to your Apple II or IIplus and have an external keyboard. The bonus is that you don't have to turn off the onboard keyboard, you can use both keyboards at the same time. This is great for two player games. I needed 5 of these so I did an order of 20 and now have 15 available.
