Clone ALS Smarterm 80-column card with bad BIOS

Submitted by jderas on December 31, 2024 - 8:29pm

Does anyone have an ALS Smarterm II (80 column card)? I'd like to ask a favor, I need a copy of the EPROM contents. I have a card that seems to have a corrupt 2716. It never reads the same contents... The card is a clone of the ALS card, best I can tell. I cannot find this EPROM, just the manuals for the ALS. Card looks like this:

Retronaut Log Cabin Build - CH01: The Foundation

In late June 2024 work finally kicked off on building the new Log Cabin, where future Retronaut videos will be filmed.

This new space would allow for projects simply not possible in the old studio space. The foundation needs building, so lets get that done first!

But the area where the cabin would be built had issues. Flooding was a problem and the existing shed, built back in the 1980's would have to be

Does anyone know a source for the 25 pin Apple II+ keyboard connector ?

Submitted by UncleBernie on December 20, 2024 - 2:17pm

What I mean is the brown connector located on the keyswitch PCB of the twin PCB keyboard assembly. The other PCB is the keyboard encoder which has a corresponding 25 pin long pin strip and this one plugs into the wanted connector.

 

I dare a guess it might be a MOLEX connector but this is suspect wetware memory recall from 45+ years ago when these connectors were popular (human brains = wetware do not have ECC ;-)

 

Anyone able to identify this connector and tell me manufacturer, part number, and where it's still in stock ?????

How to view an Apple III Read.me file

Submitted by old_hitech on December 17, 2024 - 10:46pm

I noticed that the Apple III Fortran disk has a file named READ.ME.FIRST that is an ASCII file. I tried to view it by loading it into the Apple III Pascal Editor, but when I tried to use the Apple III Pascal Filer Get command to load the read.me file I get an message stating 'No File loaded'. How does one view an ASCII file in Apple III SOS?

Troubleshooting AE serial pro

Submitted by nick3092 on December 15, 2024 - 11:58am

I picked up an AE serial pro a week or two ago. And just now getting around to testing it out. But I'm not having any luck. The card ROM seems good, when I do a IN#1 (or 2 depending on the slot I'm testing in) and press Ctrl-I (or A depending on the mode it's set to), the configuration screen comes up. The battery is no longer holding a charge, so settings are not retained between power cycles. It does however seem to retain them between OA-Ctrl-resets. I have all the dip switches in the open position, which the manual indicates is the best default settings.
