Retro Magazines Ep:01 - C&VG - First Edition, November 1981 

It's November 1981 and a completely NEW type of computing magazine hits the shelves in the UK.

Rather than scoffing at video gaming, instead Computer and Video Games would celebrate this new aspect of computing in all its forms.

 

Join me as I return to a time before the stalwarts of the 8-Bit micro scene here in the UK.

No Spectrum, no Commodore 64.

Laser 128 to VGA (or DVI or HDMI)

I have a Laser 128 and would like to get/build an adapter for the Video Expansion Port to a VGA/DVI monitor.  I know Microbee and others have built and sold adapters, but I cannot seem to find them any more.  If I get a spec, I may be able to piece one together.  Not real interested in the //c VGA adapter because I believe it uses the composite line of the output whereas the Laser port offers full RBG.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Apple II keyboard mods

I bought a non working Apple II, 

I discover a mess on the back side of the motherboard with a lot of wire (custom scart card on slot 7), 

There is also 1 wire from the 2nd pin of the keyboard connector connected to the mother board with like a custom ROM, 

Do someone knows what kind of keyboard mod it would be ? 

Thanks 

Vincent

Franklin ACE 2000 Series Technical Reference Manual

I scanned and uploaded the Franklin ACE 2000 series technical reference manual to Asimov, it's in the "incoming" folder under the name (Franklin ACE 2000 Series Computer Technical Reference Manual.pdf).  Seems I'm missing schematic 3 "Main memory", but I wonder if page 118 is that schematic since it seems out of place in that section.

Problem with Apple II clone

Hello guys,

I'm new to the forum.

I am trying to get an Apple II clone working here.

I attach a photo of the motherboard and ROM card.

The computer turns on, keyboard light is on, but the computer doesn't beep and shows a unique pattern on the screen (see attached) and does not go into prompt.

I don't know what the issue is and whether it's with the motherboard, ROM card or keyboard.

I would appreciate any suggestions for a possible easy fix of such an issue, if you have experienced it before.

Thanks in advance,Joe

Identify Unique Apple II Computer

A friend has a unique looking Apple II Computer.  The internals include a 1978 Apple Computer motherboard with either "JP" or "IP" hand written in lower left corner.  It is housed in a wooden frame with an apple emblem and a brown top/cover.  I have been unable to find information on this interesting computer.  Any help would be very much appreciated, and a quick response would be even more appreciated!

Platinum Apple IIe keyboard with modern keys?

Hello,

 

I really loved using the Apple IIe Platinum for typing, and want to know if there are any modern keyboards (with modern keys, like F1 to F12, Home, End, Page Up, etc.) that use the same kind of keys.

 

Thank you!
