eBay Warning. Suspicious Seller.

Submitted by gsmcten on February 20, 2010 - 6:09pm

Good evening all.

I wanted to report a suspicious seller on ebay.

His name is CAPKNIGHT and he specifically sells Apple II items.

At the moment he has several items for sale including an Applied Engineering Accelerator for a IIgs. The kicker is that there is a shill (r***r) jacking up the prices on the cards.

(r***r) has forced the price up of this particular card to $405.00 within the last six hours. He has 62 bid retractions in the last six months and 30% of the time he bids on CAPKNIGHT's items.

Link for the Texting w/ Dune BBS back in the 80's !

Submitted by A2forever on February 15, 2010 - 4:12am

I got an update link for you all that are interested in reading about Texting using a BBS back in the 80's , it's kinda a bragging rights deal , but alot of research has gone into this project and getting it back off the ground ..... Hope you enjoy the link. By the way , Frank who wrote this , was in my opinion was a very exceptional programmer back in the Apple II days and did amazing things with 6502 Machine Language :O)

Ejoy the link.....

I found CATSEND 3.0! And a interesting bit on the first Texting Voice Mail for a BBS in the 1980's.

Has anyone noticed in Applewin , you are not able to create any Virtual Disks? I had to go back to a later version of Applewin to do this. Normally you would boot up a DOS 3.3 Disk , click on a Drive Icon , type in the name of the File you wish to create , hit Enter , then in BASIC you would type INIT HELLO . This would create the .DSK file , but for some reason in the newer versions of Applewin you get an I/O Error! I noticed this because I finally found CATSEND 3.0!!

Question: not sure if the problems with the disk drive or the game

Submitted by leicamaster on February 12, 2010 - 5:57pm

So I just came around a great deal on a IIe Platinum fully loaded for $7. This is my second IIe because my old IIe was in Puerto Rico and my parents wouldnt ship it and said the same thing why the hell do you want an old computer. Being 10 at the time I had to follow their rules. I bought Ultima IV online and a disk drive. Im not sure if its the game or the drive which is not functioning. It keeps on freezing on the same location and keeps on making the same sound. Im posting a vid on Youtube and ill post a link for it when its done uploading

The Impossible Dream?

Submitted by gsmcten on February 2, 2010 - 6:39pm

As I was reading several of the posts over the last couple of days, it was strange that several of them dealt with ethernet connectivity in one form or another.

It occured to me that with all of the new hardware that seems to be popping up (Rich Dreher et al) that no one sems to have made an attempt at an ethernet card with an RJ-45 connection (if the Uthernet card has one I will have to pay pennance for my blasphemies) that will work with the Apple II family of computers.

Apple II joystick -> USB?

Submitted by omnirune on February 2, 2010 - 6:00pm

I was curious if anyone was aware of an adapter to convert vintage Apple II joysticks to USB for usage with modern Apple II emulators?

I have seen such adapters for the commodore, but they only enable one button for Apple joysticks and not the secondary fire. Any ideas?
