None of those things worked, I tried them, and the Pram thing isn't an issue because the pram batter is gone and the factory battery that powers the thing is removed. I managed to …

Christopher, What I would do is first is reset the P-RAM (Command + Option + P + R). Hold those 4 buttons down on the keyboard, until you hear the startup chime about 3 times. I…

I do know AppleWorks does pay attention to that switch. You could conceivably use the switch for other things, as it just flags a certain address in memory. I doesn't actually do a…

It's not my recording, but discovering and listening to the online clip the other day finally inspired me (after some 12 years as a Newton user!) to install the macintal.pkg, talkt…

Don't forget ADB came out for the IIgs before it did for the mac.

Thanks, for some reason I thought the only way to get SCSI in an apple IIx computer was to build one or to get one built. I'd love to get one for my IIGS So I can use my HD20SC wit…

I've got speech enabled on mine too. Its kinda fun to have it read stuff. It will also speak the temperature.

I'm curious why it shows in the manual what looks like a HD20SC attached when there was no scsi port on the IIGS. Click to expand... Apple sold the SC20 about that time. A 20m…

Yes, I've printed from my IIgs to my Apple Personal Laserwriter NTR. In the IIgs control panel, there's an option to install an ImageWriter emulator in the RAM of the LaserWriter. …

Can a IIgs use an Apple laser by chance? I never bothered to try it. Click to expand... A few people I knew used Apple laser printers. I don't recall which ones though. I used…

yeah, I tried the HD 20, no dice. It just sat there. I booted off the GS/OS system floppy, and ran the advanced disk utility on the system tools 1 disk. It did not even pick it up,…

I have an Apple Rev C SCSI card in one of my IIgs systems and it is fast enough for GS/0S use. What I like about it is if I feel like just booting from a floppy to play a game I do…

here ... and it's not a bad speech, either.

you cant use a hd2o. but there was a software startup init that was used for 512k macs to use hfs 800k floppies and hd20s if u could write it for gsos then maybe u could use it. ha…

I'm curious why it shows in the manual what looks like a HD20SC attached when there was no scsi port on the IIGS. Click to expand... Because you could buy a SCSI card from Appl…

I'm curious why it shows in the manual what looks like a HD20SC attached when there was no scsi port on the IIGS. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", …

The HD20 definitely won't work on a IIgs. There were only a few macs that it'd work on. Support for it had to be in ROM and unfortunately they never did that for the Apple II line.…

So I can't have 3x 5.25" and 1x 3.5? Click to expand... Nope, the whole system has assumptions about two drives per controller "slot." It just so happens that your slots are v…

ah yes, for some reason, I had a hunch it was 4. So I can't have 3x 5.25" and 1x 3.5? Not a big deal, as I have the right cards. I just need to pull it out of my IIe. I Could try …

You are allowed 4 drives on a IIgs. 2 x 3.5" and 2 x 5.25". The 3.5" have to be connected to the IIgs 1st in the chain (I have the drive manuals from Apple).

The IIgs' smartport allows you to have 2 800K drives (mapped to slot 5) and 2 140K (slot 6)... if you really want another 5.25" drive, you'll need to install a controller card and …

Hi all. I was wondering how I should have the disk drives hooked up to my IIgs, and how many I can have. I have 3 5.25" drives, a 800k drive, and a external FDHD, which I tested an…

Sure, go ahead.

Anyone have this archived anywhere? I have an original of this, on 3.5" floppy. If anyone wants it, I can upload it. I also have a bunch of of other stuff from Quality Computers he…
