Anyone tested Disk ][ and controller card with AppleSqueezer GS?

Submitted by OrbitalGolem on August 10, 2022 - 12:25pm

Hello all - considering the AppleSqueezer GS accelerator for my ROM01 IIGS (Woz edition, ROM00 upgraded to 01 back in '86).  Niek mentioned to me that he hasn't tested the 5.25" Disk ][ drives with controller card - can anyone confirm if they work?  I still have two 3.5" drives and two Disk ]['s and would like to use them.

I'm suspecting mine is an early production IIGS, purchased in June '86, and might be affected by some of the sound issues mentioned by other folks.  I'll be forwarding pics of my motherboard to him to see if it's one of those.

Thanks in advance!

Need some help with the Einstein compiler

Submitted by CVT on August 10, 2022 - 11:54am

I have been using the Einstein compiler without any issues so far with quite complicated Basic programs, but recently I ran into a very strange bug when I tried to execute a DOS command.

 

To demonstrate the problem I have the following one line program, which simply executes the CATALOG command:

 

    10 PRINT CHR$(4)”CATALOG”

 

When I run it uncompiled under DOS 3.3 or under ProDOS it works perfectly. If I compile it using Einstein, the compiled version works under DOS 3.3, but under ProDOS it ignores the CHR$(4) and just prints on the screen:

Solid-state SCSI HD alternatives

Submitted by aofapple12 on August 8, 2022 - 4:14pm

Hello all,

 

I have an Apple SCSI Rev C - clone card, and I would like to use it with a solid-state SCSI emulator. I know of a few (such as SCSI2SD and BlueSCSI) but have no direct experience with any of them.

 

If you have such a setup would you mind sharing your experience setting up the SCSI solid-state drive and using it with ProDOS or other OSs?

 

Thanks,

 

Armando

Garbage on Screen after reboot

Submitted by Schmullus on August 8, 2022 - 4:44am

Hello,

 

I have an Apple //e and after a rebbot - most of the time - I have garbage on screen.

Sometimes with a blinking cursor and sometimes only garbage.

I try it 10x and perhaps it could be ok once.

 

Best

Video HW Issues - or maybe not?

Submitted by Nick Parker on August 5, 2022 - 8:42pm

 

Hello,

 

I've recently decided to revisit my childhood and acquired an Apple IIe platinum.  The motherboard says 1987 and International NTSC.

(I'm mucking around with 6502 assembler on my PC and debugging/emulating with Applewin currently)

 

I have no dedicated composite or Apple monitor, so I bought a no name composite to HDMI adapter. (I couldnt get hold of a vidHD :(  )

 

And here it what I have found :-

Any emulator which can save memory disassembly to file?

Submitted by gmontag451 on August 3, 2022 - 3:43pm

I'm using a Apple II program which loads in small sections as needed. I'd like to compare a disassembly listing before and after a particular section is loaded, but the emulators I'm familiar with only seem to show disassembly onscreen with no facility to save it to a file (at least as far as I can tell.) 

Can anyone suggest an emulator (for Windows) which can save a disassembled section of memory to file?

Thanks, Michael

Help with recently acquired Apple II Plus

Submitted by macdude2010 on July 31, 2022 - 7:51pm

Hello all,

 

I have just recently inherited an Apple II+ Plus from my late godfather. I got it working with little trouble, but then the power supply blew up. I bought a replacement for it from ReativeMicro and just installed it. Since installation I seem to be having trouble with getting the Apple II to read disks. Now when turning on the Apple II, it flashes the screen with random characters for a split second and then just stays at the Apple II screen with the drive spinning, I can get it to boot to BASIC by pressing CTRL+RESET.

File Type Mismatch Error When I Try To Open Documents

Submitted by JBB on July 31, 2022 - 10:12am

Hello, I inherited an Apple IIe computer that I found in the basement of the family home. It's from the mid-80's. I powered it up and it seems to work, I ran an old program from a floppy disk called "Apple Presents Apple" fine. I am trying to access document text files from some floppy disks. I enter CATALOG and see the list of text files but when I enter READ FILENAME or OPEN FILENAME I get the error message "File Type Mismatch". Can anyone help me with what I need to do to open these files? Also, does anyone have a suggestion of what this computer might be worth?
