Any reason you couldn't just use it over the serial port as though your modern desktop were a terminal connected by serial to the machine? Then you could have whatever font you wa…

why not just use an sram chip with another avr microcontroller to copy video memory into and just have the ATmega 328 read the sram for video data? Click to expand... I guess y…

Can the expansion cards access all of the normal system memory? Click to expand... Yes.

Can the expansion cards access all of the normal system memory? If so, you could certainly access the video ram directly. Otherwise, why not just use an sram chip with another avr …

if you want to spider-web your apple with 30 gauge jumpers maybe you could only do low rez then yes, but your still sampling the video data and then post processing it to output, s…

Making an add-in card to replace the onboard video out and having it read the video portion of the ram makes more sense than trying to capture the output frame by frame. Perhaps it…

ps i am interested in that "dead" //c also

oh I have been thinking about it sorta half hart, I am using a tv card in my computer, and it makes 80 col text impossible to read, growing up with the apple monitor II green scree…

Is it possible to easily modify or add circuitry to make some kind of digital sync signal for the monitor? Any chance an IC analog to digital (ADC) converter might suffice?

There are a couple of things that can make a TV mess up on an Apple II or II Plus. First, composite NTSC video is 525i, 30 frames of 525 lines each second interlaced in 2 fields of…

Number 018 http://www.faqs.org/faqs/apple2/faq/part16/ From: Michael Pender and Rubywand 018- What is the usual way to connect an Apple II to a display? For a IIgs, you con…

aye I bought a thrift store pc for a buck for its 5.25 so I can backup some of my old dos games

I remember someone told me that modern comb filters on the last generation or two of tube TV's was to blame for the useless image that is generated by older computer systems that o…

Nice score, I got a ][gs back in june but haven't been able to use it (TVs make terrible composite monitors). The one time I did use it, the power supply was making noises. Clic…

Gah! That laptop is super ugly. However the Skylab sounds like it truly was the Holy Grail. "As far as Mac Prototypes go, one of the most glorious I ever saw was the Radiu…

If you use a software/hardware clock, you could keep track of time. Using that you could handle the following scenario: T=Time, C=Computer (1/2), A=Action Taken R=Receive new coo…

Your trying to prevent collisions during serial communications, right? Click to expand... Right. I don't want both Apples to be trying to "talk" at the same time, or conversely…

I don't know if you noticed my post earlier, but I recently purchased an apple IIe so hopefully in a little more than a week (I wish it were less) that should reach me. Really look…

Is there a reason you can't write a program that will check the cassette port and signal the SSC? Maybe the program could send data to cassette line that were indicative of the ne…

The Apple IIe doesn't have software interrupts, unfortunately, and that's my target platform. The newer models, the IIc and IIgs, do have software interrupts. I'd want to get an i…

I was proposing something along the lines of a software interrupt based on the input on the cassette line. I don't know much about the computer or whether it can handle that quickl…
