Creating 5.25 Floppy Disks from Mass Storage IIGS

Submitted by nd2003grad on March 23, 2022 - 6:46pm

This is following up on my previous post where I finally found out what was going wrong with my drives.  I'm so new to this but I have no one to ask so I'm hoping someone out there can help me.  I have  a new GS, both size floppy drives, and everything is functioning.  I have GS/OS floppy and a mass storage device.  I have figured out how to make 3.5 floppies this way from a .PO image.  My question is--can you do that as well with 5.25 floppies?  No disk shows up on GS/OS when I put a disk in--there doesn't seem to be a way to view, read, or write from it.  Is this by design or am I doing s

Apple IIGS 5.25 Boot Issue--Newbie

Submitted by nd2003grad on March 23, 2022 - 1:23pm

Hi--this is my first post and I'm a new IIGS owner.  It's not been easy so far, there's been an LCD (that does RGB) that didn't work, an incomplete mass storage device, a frustratingly non-functional CRT monitor (I'm temporarily still using composite on TV)...etc.   However, I've got one issue that I can't seem to find a solution for.  I was able to get GS/OS disks from a nice guy on a Facebook group, and if I just have the 3.25 drive hooked up it works fine.  IF I have the 5.25 hooked up (daisy-chained), the system starts to boot GS/OS from the 3.5 and displays the welcome screen but halfw

Help with Error Using MicroDrive Turbo

Submitted by OverlordSpock on March 19, 2022 - 7:46pm

Hello all! I am new to AppleFritter, so please forgive my simply jumping right in, but I'm having an extremely frustrating experience and am really looking for some assitance.

 

I recently purchased a MicroDrive Turbo from Reactive Micro for use in my ROM03 IIGS. I've heard excellent things about it and purchased the complete kit (that included the CF Card).

ProDOS ROM-Card issue

Submitted by Kingpin on March 19, 2022 - 5:30pm

I have assembled a couple of the ProDOS ROM-Card (by Terence J. Boldt) but it refuses to boot all the way to the bitsy boot menu amd it goes into the monitor when the Apple ProDOS 8 V2.4.2 screen has come up. Have tried go re-program the EPROM (no difference) and tested different slots and with a couple of Apple II's (same issue).

 

Chips have been tested as well even though they are brand new.

 

Anybody who have had some issues with these or have a suggestion?

Converting dsk images to ProDOS order

Submitted by RyanM on March 15, 2022 - 9:02pm

I have a Booti card and am trying to convert some DOS order images to ProDOS order. Some images even appear to be in RDOS order, if that makes a difference. The images in question are dsk files that I have downloaded from archive.org. I'm not very experienced at this type of thing, so hopefully someone here can point out something obvious I'm not doing.

 

I have tried the following ways to convert:

 

1) Using the DSK2PO python script mentioned here: https://ct6502.org/product/apple-ii-booti/

W65C02S Adapter

Submitted by saint on March 15, 2022 - 4:54pm

Finally recieved a real W65C02S from Mouser today and it is in the IIe with the adapter board working like a charm. I will run drive tests later tonight but having spoke with Bernardo at the Byte Attic and hearing he had no issues I am predicting all will be well. Now that I am confident the design I will put the board files up on pcbway for everyone.

CFFA3000 v1.0 Rev C - Remote question

Submitted by gottj on March 15, 2022 - 4:32pm

I see that the remote for the CFFA 3000 is included when a CFFA3000 is purchased. Does anyone use one of these remotes? If so, what are the benefits of using one?

 

Thank you!

Looking for clarity - Apple 6502 Assembler/Editor

Submitted by Stargeezer on March 14, 2022 - 9:31pm

Evening all:

I am looking for some guidance.  While I am familiar with the Merlin Assembler for Apple II, I am interested in the "history" and "originality" of the Apple 6502 Assembler/Editor.

I am refering to the software associated with this document https://archive.org/details/apple-6502-assembler-editor

I have found the Applesoft Tool Kit software on the mirror but I am unable to find the Assembler/Editor System Disk.

Also, the document refers to 16-sector DOS.  Is this the DOS that the Applesoft Tool Kit boots into?
