I did not see that one! Thanks Snuci

I hate suggesting to go out and buy something for projects, but if you can come across one of these { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox…

Thanks for the offer! I think I won't need it, though: after much fussing and fiddling, I finally have a working IIgs serial cable for ADTPro *and* a working Lisa serial cable for …

(Good info on the trackpad/palmrest being replaceable, by the way.  The keyboard, as far as I can tell, is also replaceable (swapped it out last night).  The keyboard that came wit…

It's an evil thing to suggest, but does your IIgs' motherboard have the header soldered for a IIe keyboard? Since your IIe is already damaged you could use that as the excuse to cu…

The IIgs certainly brings its share of conveniences, even as an 8-bit machine. Plenty of folks used them as well equipped "fast" Apple IIes back in the day.

You do have a case of "you can't get there from here," don't you?   You will be unhappy with audio even if/when you get it working.  Yes, it's a line-in vs. mic amplification iss…

I've run into a snag with ADTPro. Using the audio out from my PC, I was able to successfully bootstrap the IIe and load the ADTPro client. But to actually transfer any disk images …

The board inside the speaker panel, not the inverter. The battery shouldn't make a difference. If anything you should test the symptoms just on AC adapter and just on battery. …

Right, ADTPro bootstraps and ships on ProDOS 1.9 for this very reason.

The switch is highlighted in red.  You can also jam a q-tip or cotton swab in there (that's what I use) (Image was originally from Digibarn but I cropped it to zero in on the ar…

yeah the hinges have been reinforced by two metal pieces on the kanga, so the two plastic pieces that cover the hinges must cover a bigger volume compare to the 3400c. Must have be…

When I explained that their card didn't appear to actually be fully 16-bit compatible, then they brought up the size of the SD card. Click to expand... They appear to be talkin…

[Recapping the power board (on the Kanga) did not affect the speaker buzz - neither did swapping out the speakers.  The ... I don't know what it is 'board' inside the speaker panel…

Keep cards with ROMs out of slot 3, it interferes with the 80 column firmware. You should be able to boot strap ADTPro via serial on an unenhanced IIe.

It's an unenhanced IIe - says "Apple ][" at power-up. It actually has both a Disk II controller (in slot 3, with two 20-pin connectors) and a 5.25 controller (in slot 6, with the 1…

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…

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…
