What is the most likely issue with the grid screen?

Submitted by Twiggy on September 24, 2024 - 3:01am
Hello,I have an issue with my //e.It turns on fine, but there's always a grid pattern on the screen ,it doesn't seem to affect anything else though as it works fine, I cantexcute basic commands and programs, so it doesn't seem to affect the function.I don't know if it's a stuck bit in memory, or a video logic issue, but I've ran the self-test multiple times and it passes each time, so it seems there aren't any ram issues or other major issues.

For anyone with a BOOTI card who has not already seen this, there is new firmware for the card that shows long filenames and eliminates goofy Mac resource files from the selection list. You can download the updater with new firmware here.

Late „Language Card“ AE 16k Pocket Rocket

Submitted by Joe65 on September 21, 2024 - 1:49am

Hello, 

 

I‘m looking for Informations about the Applied Engineering 16k Pocket Rocket, which was a late „Language Card“ for the Apple II/Apple II +, populated with 2 CMOS RAM chips, a  bus-driver and a PAL.

 

I have found only poor quality pictures, and only just from the Front side, not from the back side.

Retro Magazines Ep:02 - C&VG - Christmas 1981

 

It's December of 1981 and we are closing in on Christmas.

What will be the big stocking fillers this year?

Will Santa be brining you a ZX81 for you to solder together, or a sparkly new Apple II tower of power?

Or maybe its a handheld Puck Man or one of the new fangled Game and Watches from Nintendo.

 

This is a jam packed edition where £69 kit computers vie for column inches with the Vic 20,

Atari 800, Apple II+ and TRS-80.

Hello Community, 

I need your help with an Apple II powersupply that I repaired and that re-died one more time. 

The power supply is a ASTEC A11040B. 

The first time, I changed the 2 RIFA Caps on C1 & C23. A few days after, It stop working with no reason, 

I discovered that R8 & R28 are dead, I decided to replace them, I put power back and the 2 new resistor burn with small fire. 

It is completly out my skillset and I want to understand what to do, what ot check, and if possible to repair it

Any MIDI games besides U5?

Submitted by nick3092 on September 8, 2024 - 9:02am

I came across an original Passport MIDI card for $30 and figured, why not? Got it hooked up in my IIe to my MT32 pi (for anyone not familiar, that is a raspberry pi based Roland mt32 emulator) and gave the only software I know of that uses it (Ultima V) a try. Worked and sounded great.

 

Were there any other games that utilized MIDI at all? Or any playback software? I'm not finding anything outside of U5 in my searches.
