Is there a guide to fitting an Apple IIGS into an Apple IIe shell?

Submitted by Boschloo on November 24, 2023 - 1:00pm

Is there a guide to fitting an Apple IIGS (ROM 1) into an Apple IIe shell? Any sort of tutorial? I would like to do the IIGs Stealth conversion.  I'm aware that Maceffects sells a clear case with a conversion kit (which I'm not sure what it's comprised of), but I'm not really interested in the clear case because I own an Apple IIe already and could use that. How hard is this project? Would I need to drill the screw holes myself? Would my Garret's Workshop RAM2GS II still work inside that shell?

Seriously, how do I get an Apple IIGS?

I'm finding the prices on eBay quite harsh, are you guys in the know of how I could buy an Apple IIGS? I'm not sure why everything on eBay is ridiculously overpriced.

Unable to start up from memory card || Apple IIe Enhanced

Submitted by Boschloo on November 19, 2023 - 9:40am

I started up my Apple IIe and it's printing garbage to the screen. 

I reset it and it says "unable to start up from memory card."

When I move the memory card to a different location, in this case, slot 5, the computer boots to "Apple \\e". I type PRINT PEEK(64447)+PEEK(64448)*256 and it returns 57344. When I put the card back into slot 7, it says unable to start up from memory card. PRINT PEEK(64447)+PEEK(64448)*256 still returns 57344. So, in slot 5 the computer doesn't even see the card. In slot 7, it sees it but is unable to load from it.

Unitron 2200 CP/M disk

Submitted by Pocoaust on November 18, 2023 - 3:35pm

G'day from down under.

 

I have got my Unitron 2200 with Dual CPU's going and loading ProDos, but when I try to load Softcard CP/M, it does nothing.  I have checked all the IC's for the Z80 section on my TL866 and they are good, the Z80 is good, and visually it looks like a Softcard implementation, but it wont load.

 

I am using a Apple to PS/2 Keyboard adaptor, but I don't think this should effect anything.

 

Does anyone know if the Unitron ran a different version of C/PM?

Glen Bredon's DOS.MASTER for ProDOS Drives

Submitted by MacFly on November 18, 2023 - 11:42am

Moving the discussion about compatibility problems with the "DOS.GAMES" collection (see previous discussion here) to this separate thread. It's not a DAN][-specific topic, and the other thread is getting incredibly long anyway. Makes sense to spin off sidetrack discussions...

16KB RAM expansion on Apple //e

Submitted by tony359 on November 18, 2023 - 6:29am

Hi there,

For testing purposes, can the below 16KB card from an Apple II+ work on an Apple //e? I would just like to test the RAM on it. It doesn't seem to be working but I don't know if it's because it's broken or not :)

Thanks!

Apple ][ Plus Troubleshooting or Documentation

Submitted by cbriarnold on November 17, 2023 - 11:27pm

Hello Everyone,

 

I have received an Apple ][ Plus. When I turn it on, it only shows "APPLE ][" on the screen. No blinking cursor. Is this a problem? Typing doesn't appear to do anything. I don't have any software disks to try and boot using. Also, if there is any place that you can direct me to that would have documentation that I can use to understand how to use this computer would be wonderful.

 

Thanks,

 

Courtney

Restoration "Apple II Clone"

Submitted by tulack on November 15, 2023 - 9:59am

Hi, we are getting an Apple II clone up and running.

( Excuse my language, I use a translator )

 

The Apple II Clone was in this state. It was collected many years ago, its destination was a recycling plant. With the help of some friends, we have gotten to it.
