Apple II

All Open-Apple Podcasts are now ready to stream on a real Apple IIe/ gs.

Oliver Schmidt has prepared all Open-Apple Podcasts to stream them with his Apple II software A2Stream. 

This is fantastic, as we can now listen to Woz f.e. on any real Apple IIe/gs equiped with an Uthernet Card! Just this. There is no additonal sound card needed! Just a stream from the internet to the Apple II. 

The sound quality is awesome. The internal speaker of the Apple II can be used or the tape output to connect additional sound systems to the Apple.

Hi there

I have three Apple IIc Plus machines, and while Karateka runs, the graphics in game is corrupt and unplayable. The sake disc plays on an Apple IIe Platinum. 

This happens across all three of the Apple IIc Plus that I have, so they can't all be fault.

I am guessing there is a version of Karateka that will work on the IIc plus or perhaps not.

Anyone else come across this with that game?

Other games I have tested work well.

Thank you.

I bought a supposedly tested and working numeric keypad for my IIe. And of course it's not fully working. Half the keys don't work. Opened it up to find that someone spilled coffee or coke in this thing 30+ years ago, and it never got cleaned up. I desoldered all the switches and started tracing out the PCB. Looks like I'm going to have to make 12 bodges.

I have a pile of Apple IIe's I'm refurbishing, and I just ordered a bunch of cap kits from Console5 to recap the power supplies, most of which are the Astec AA11040B style.  Iniitally, I discovered all but one worked properly, so I was a bit surprised to see varying behavior when I started the recap process.  Specifically, several would provide the +/-5V and +/-12V outputs when powered on.  Others simply made a repeated ticking sound, a symptom I've come to understand is often a capacitor issue - such was the case when I worked through a few IBM power supplies.
