On screen launcher for FloppyEMU?

Submitted by m0ebiu5 on March 2, 2023 - 8:26pm

Greetings all! I have a quick question. Is there some sort of software launcher I can use on my FloppyEMU in 5.25 disk mode to browse and launch my programs/games on screen as opposed to physically clicking buttons on the EMU and flipping through directories on the small OLED screen? I saw reference to a program called Sneeze on Captains Quarters BBS and I downloaded it but I don't really understand how to use it to access directories and programs/games on my FloppyEMU sd card. Thanks!

What happened to that ventless Apple II?

Submitted by old_hitech on March 1, 2023 - 10:19am

A few days ago I saw a ventless Apple II listed on eBay. The listing was kind of odd as it said not bid on the Apple II. The listing said it was a buy it now at a listed price but you had to send an email to the address in the listing. Today, I cannot find that item listing on eBay. Did someone buy it? Or did eBay remove the listing as, I believe, you are not allowed to state your email address on eBay?

CRT question

Submitted by m0ebiu5 on February 28, 2023 - 8:35am

Hi all. So I found an old 17" Cybervision VGA CRT in my parents crawl space - it's been there many years obviously a damp space. It looks to be in good shape / the VGA connector screws did have rust though - I think I could clean it up with some contact cleaner. I plugged it in, turned it on and the screen showed no signal messsge BUT there was some crackling / ticking  noises which eventually stop. I did this several times and it seemed to happen less but still hear some.

BugByter disk Image

Submitted by youngie on February 23, 2023 - 3:57pm

Hi Folks,

Can anyone help me find a DOS3.3 image of the BugByter software, I have done a decent search and it says it was in the Asimov repository here

Asimov/images/games/file_based/munch-a-bug_softstep_symbolsymon.dsk.gz

Has it moved? Is there anywhere else I could look or can somebody share it with me. Does anyone happen to know if you can set a breakpoint with it in EPROM?

Cheers

Youngie...

booting off a DOS 3.3 floppy - what should that look like? I forget!

Submitted by retroformat on February 21, 2023 - 1:29am

Some 40 years ago, I knew how to boot my Apple IIe and what it should sound and look like.  But I've forgotten.

Online sources suggest I insert the DOS 3.3 floppy, and then turn the computer on.  I did that... not much sound came from the floppy, except for the sounds of the media being rotated.  I waited a while (a minute, two minutes?) and finally something came up on screen.  This looked very unfamiliar; what does it mean?
