Apple II

Did I get a good deal for my IIgs?

Hi everyone. I just recently purchased a IIgs in the UK, which are rare to find outside the US. I paid £500 for the IIgs, a 17" flat screen monitor with adapter, Floppy EMU, 4 floppy drives (two 3.5" ones and two 5.25" ones), four new boxes of 5.25" disks, A CFFA 3000 hdd emulator and several software disks. I think I did pretty well but I just wanted someone else's opinion.

Call-A.P.P.L.E.'s "All About Applesoft", original vs. "Enhanced Edition"

Just wondering if any knows if the "Enhanced Edition" of Call-A.P.P.L.E.'s book "All About Applesoft" available at lulu.com adds any additional material over the original edition from the early '80s?  The page count on the "enhanced edition"  is considerably greater than the original, but was unsure if the difference comes from new formatting/layout or if it's from actual added material.

DuoDisk-][e compatibility

Hey Gang!I just acquired my first ][e. It's an early serial number: 09219 with the Original Rev. A board.My question is: can I connect a DuoDisk to this e? I know there is a Floppy controller for use with the DuoDisk, and more, but I am not sure if an Un-enhanced model can handle one...Thanks,Mark

A2Oasis/Win98SE: error mounting disks

Hi!  I currently can't try any suggestions, as the Win98SE tower is at my mother's house, and I left her house yesterday evening, but I have a problem with the A2Oasis emulator on the tower: I tried inserting two disk images, and both gave me an error message.  I don't remember what the message was, but it was an invalid format one.  Is there a bug with the version I'm using, or do I need to do something special to get them to work?  I didn't check the version #.

Need help adjusting disk ii down pressure

Hello group,

I have a disk ii that has poor down pressure when the door is closed. The drive performs fine (how I don’t know) but there’s clearly no where’s near the pressure you feel when I close all my others. I checked that all the washers are in the hub, and both springs are present. Anyone know how to improve this closing pressure? A better way to describe it is it feels like the hub isn’t giving the down pressure on the disk when the door is closed.

S-C Assembler v2.0 for DOS 3.3 crashes to monitor on startup

Does anyone know how to fix the this version of the S-C Assembler (v2.0 for DOS 3.3) such that it boots normally with the AppleWin emulator?

The following occurs:

Orig Apple II               - it crashes to address 9D89

Apple II+                     - it crashes to address 9D89

Apple IIe                      - it crashes to address 9D89

Apple IIe(enhanced) - it crashes to address 9D88

NB Apple DOS versions 1.0 and 1.1 boot normally as does the ProDOS version 2.0

New UK Appler - need help with a PAL/UK IIe

Hi all,

I run vintage computer exhibitions out of a UK university - we do big ones that are open to the public and also smaller, pop-up ones during our open days and in outreach events at local schools. Most of the machines I showcase are from my own personal collection, so as such are heavily biased towards UK legends of the 80s - Sinclair Spectrums, BBC Micros etc. But there's also plenty from your side of the pond too, Commodores, Ataris etc. I recently acquired my first Apple for the collection, a UK PAL IIe in absolutely glorious condition.

Apple II Merlin MON mode

Hello, 

for my DISK II project, I need to write some ASM code on Apple II to simulate various disk protection mecanism (as per TOME  OF Protection), 

Running  a VIRTUA II emulator on my mac with an Apple //e image and Merlin 2.58, I started entering the BELL demo program:

 

* DEMO

     ORG $300

BELL EQU $FBDD

START JSR BELL

END RTS

 

I can compile with ASM, save the source and the object file, but I am struggling with the MON mode in the editor

I should see the compiled code when I do

Connecting multiple Apple II joysticks?

On a device like the Paddle-Adapple, is the "A/B" switch just disconnecting the 5V line so that both joysticks are not active at the same time? 

Does anyone possibly have one to test?Thank you!
