Pascal differences and manuals

Hi Guys,

I have created the four disk set for Apple Pascal but I get a "no file system.apple" message when I try to boot from disk 1. It seems I am missing a disk or I am starting the Apple up incorrectly. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I also notice that the disk images were classed as an operating system rather than a programming language so can anyone clarify this?

Ihave since downloaded Instant Pascal and Laser Pascal but I am struggling to find a PDF manual for them. Any ideas?

Colour bleed?

Hi,

I wonder if the composite video output on my Apple IIe (US origin) is too strong for my monitor?

A screen of text is displayed clearly and correctly but the problem lies when color graphics are produced. Blocks of colour show up ok but if there is ant text on the same screen (white letters) there is what I can only describe as random colur bleeding or smudging around the text.

Is this due to an excessive output signal and how can it be lowered or do I need to look at somthing else?

Cheers,

Richard.

Games without Joysticks?

Hi to All,

Being able to create original disks from images is a superb concept, but without user guides for games, I would like to know if it is possible to play them without a joystick but with the keyboard? I realise for most games this would not be ideal but I have not got around to buying a joystick yet!

Thanks,

Richard.

DB-19 Connectors

Hi Guys,

Anyone know where I can buy a DB-19 male connector in the UK?

I've tried a few of the bigger suppliers but no luck.

I need this to make a cable to connect a duodisk to my IIe.

Cheers.

apple ][ (europlus) no characters. beep ok, but only white square no promt.no message

hello
i try to repair an apple ][ europlus.
power supply is ok.
almost all TTL chips new.

if i start up, it beeps once.
but no message shows. no characters at all. only a white square where the cursor should be
i can hit return or any key and the square moves as it should.
also i can type in (blind) a simple programm (forx example 10 print,20 goto 10 ) and run it then the square disapears.
and if i press control c. it returns.

so basic interpreter is working. just no character.

Taxan RGB Card

Hi,

As an RGB output is an improvement on composite video, is it possible to connect a Taxan RGB card through a scart socket or is a different type of monitor required?

Thanks,

Richard.

Completely non-powering up Apple II, where to start?

I have an Apple II Plus that does absolutely nothing when the power switch is flipped. However, the power supply itself is good, as I was able to hook it up to another motherboard and it powered it just fine.

But from the problematic II Plus I get no beep, no video, not even the power indicator light on the keyboard comes on...completely dead.

I've tried fiddling with the connector between the power supply and motherboard to no effect, and have tried reseating the ICs to no avail.
