Lets go back to the very beginning... You got... A CF in a PCMCIA adapter that crashed a 3400 and gives problems on a 5300? It gave  a Sad Mac on the 3400 and then bars on boot wh…

The floppy drive has been very well tested and works perfectly.  The disk also works perfectly. I was going to say the SCSI enclosure didn't work but it appears to be booting to O…

Elfen said: I think you can turn the unit on as a SCSI Drive and connect it to another Mac through the SCSI Port and inspect the drive like modern Macs can connect by FireWir…

bigmessowires said: A commenter on my blog also pointed out this homebrew adapter based on an Altera DE0-Nano. It's got a very nicely detailed write-up of how it works. https…

Yes, I'd like one as well for my IIgs. Maybe if I got one, I'd actually use it! c

raoulduke said: It doesn't seem to be able to boot from floppy.  It starts to boot normally and then on the smiling mac it spits out the floppy and goes back to the flashing …

I really like that adapter.  If you decide to make any, BMOW, let me know.  I'd love to buy one or two.  Replacing an aging CRT with an LCD for my Apple IIs would be pretty handy. …

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I've been using one of those "CGA to VGA" boards on my IIgs setup. (And I'm forced to be pedantic here: those boards *are not actually "CGA";…

Perhpaps its scaler is better, but my monitor won't accept 15 kHz RGB, so it can only use composite video. I'm guessing 15 kHz RGB converted to VGA with one of these CGA adapters w…

Yes, that unit will work, but the quality is likely "eh", "meh", or non-existent. The GBS-8220 board that likely came out of the same factory in China is commonly found for $30 or …

On the topic of IIgs RGB video output - does anyone know if it's the same as CGA video, found on old PC graphics cards? CGA is also described as a 15 kHz video signal with analog R…

It actually gets worse.  I replaced the HD and hooked it up to a SCSI enclosure that has electrical outlets on the back of it (which I say to distinguish this first part where the …

Sorry for posting so late. The SD needs a minimum of 3.3V, as per Raspberry Pi's use of 3.3Vs instead of 5V. Question is, what kind of adapter do you have? At worst, I think, you…

Elfen, I was planning on going through your steps tonight or tomorrow but I have a concern - on the Kanga my PCMCIA - SD converter freezes every time I insert it (pretty similarly …

Or, for most of what Apple II Pi does you could just transfer your physical Apple II disks into images using ADTPro and run them on the same GSport emulator it uses for its Apple ]…

What is the Apple II Pi?   FAQ   Is the Raspberry Pi talking directly to the Apple II peripherals?   No, the Apple II is running a custom driver that reads input from the keybo…

You can use Apple ][ Server or ADT over the serial port.  I'll try and dig up a link.  It's a way of having an Apple II Pi without the out-of-production slot adapter board, which o…

heck the floppy emu is so advanced he could make it emulate a whole Iic i bet. just add keyboard...

I'm excited for this. My FloppyEmu will go great with my //c

Also check that the plastic post that should engage those switches isn't broken off on the back panel or front panel. If the machine gets jostled around in shipping, etc. they very…

bigmessowires said: Why doesn't ADTPro work this way? Click to expand... Because ADTPro is intended to work both ways... both creating and extracting disks.  Not just pla…

Hmm, that USB sound card sure is cheap! I have no idea how they can make any money selling stuff like that for $3. I just noticed that Apple ][ Disk Server does something very sim…
