An enhanced Apple IIe should have no problem booting ProDOS 2.0.3. Does the machine say "Apple ][" or "Apple //e" when you power it on? ProDOS 2.x requires a 65c02, which a non-enh…

Thanks Uni/Maceffects, I've ordered a couple of them. Snuci, I'm not sure where the other switch is - I see sw1 ( the one with the little lever that is deactivated by the rear cov…

I got home from doing some errands this evening, and there was an Apple IIe waiting for me! Unfortunately the shipper sent it with minimal packaging, and a couple of the corners we…

Brief follow-up.  I got a Kanga from Uniserver which is mostly great, but it also has speaker buzz issues.  Kanga and 3400c - despite having the same manual which lists cross-compa…

Below are the major Apple II image formats, more detailed info is here: http://apple2.info/wiki/?title=Emulators_Part_3 .DSK: "DOS 3.3 Order" 140k 5.25" floppy images .PO: "ProDO…

On a real monitor, the GS/OS desktop actually looks pretty good! Too bad there's no simple way to get similar quality on a modern LCD. As much as I love vintage computers, I draw t…

ah yeah emulator haha.. even better

I'm pretty sure the images on the website were actually from an emulator. I'm not sure I'm motivated enough to actually go through dragging out the IIgs and all the netboot bit…

Yeah i would say that looks pretty normal Steve,(for composite video)  S-video might look better.  RGB better yet, those images you saw were from the RBG port for sure!

I tried again with GS/OS 5.0.4 and it works! So yes, it seems 6.0.1 requires at least 1 MB. This is a ROM01 GS, and it appears to have 256K on the logic board and another 256K on a…

yep,  pretty sure it only has 256k on the ram card,  lots of sockets for more ram chips though. So pretty sure it has 512k ram total right now. Once Steve gets this all figured o…

I assume your IIgs is a ROM01 with the standard 1MB-capacity card? (And it's only partially-populated?) It's possible you have some bad RAM. I don't remember what error number I wa…

I plug my Apple II / Amiga stuff into my PM7500 composite in, using apple video player, always seems to work nice for me. The 7500 has a Dell 19" LCD hooked up to it. I think the…

Progress - almost there! I used CiderPress to convert GS/OS 6.0.1 Disk 2 from 2MG format to DiskCopy 4.2 format. I then copied the the DC42 file over to a Mac SE and made an 800K d…

No LocalTalk-to-Ethernet bridge, unfortunately. Thanks for the offer of the CFFA, but I don't think I'll need it. Hopefully I can use the chain of tools I described above to make a…

If you're in the area, you can borrow my CCFA.  That'll get you going at least.  From there you can make floppies.

Possibly a long shot, but do you happen to have lying around from your Mac-hacking a Localtalk-to-Ethernet bridge? If you can lay your hands on one you can use the project files fo…

Thanks. So I'm thinking I need to do this: 1. Install a IIgs emulator 2. Import the Apple SEA archive into the IIgs emulator 3. Run the SEA to uncompress it into an uncompressed…

All the original files from Apple are 800k Disk Copy 4.2 images in self extracting archives. To install on a HD you need all 6 disks. Disk 7 is used for AppleShare servers only. Di…

OK, I'm a bit confused how to get GS/OS 6.0.1 onto this machine. Looking at the Apple mirror here: http://asa.max1zzz.co.uk/English-North_American/Apple_II/Apple_IIGS_System_6.0.1/…
