Apple II

Hello, this is my first post. As the title says, my IIsi will not power up. Never happened before; this machine has been completely reliable. The only anomoly has been that on initial power up, the monitor would be black and white only. After power up is complete, doing a restart would fix that; the monitor would be then be in color. I replaced the monitor thinking that it was the cause, it was not. To try and fix the powerup issue, I replaced the Sony power supply with one I bought on ebay. Again, nothing. Even the fan does not spin.

All,

About a month ago I picked a nice stash from a freecycler wishing to clean out. The summary list: Partial Apple II, II+, IIe and lots of h/w accessories and software. The fuller list is at the end of this entry.

I'm not a big collector (I have a Obtronix Apple Replica and Kim-1 (another 6502 SBC)). Bit I thought I'd piece together a nice representative Apple 2 and sell off the rest. I haven't tested anything yet.

I'm looking for the name of a math game I played back in 3rd grade (1992-93). If I remember correctly you started out answering a number questions to build up the amount of bombs you would carry for the next mission. The number of bombs you received related to the answers of the questions, so 9x9 was always a great question. Once you completed the questions you started the mission. During the missions you were a white plane on a black background. Your job was to destroy certain military type buildings as well as enemy aircraft.

Was the Apple //gs released AFTER the Apple ///? or before?

Also, are both of these machines backwards compatible with Apple ][ software?
