Hi, What is it doing on the IIgs? Besides not working? Did you ever get a IIgs monitor? May be out of town shortly. Take Care

Hello, I have a problem I want to play Dung Beetles on my Apple IIGs but it doesn't work. It seems to work on the AppleWin but not on my Apple IIgs, is there away, a DOS, or somet…

It was a nice port from what I recall. Click to expand... Yes, and I hope he updates it sometime.

I think I played that one almost a decade ago. } It was a nice port from what I recall.

Oh yes, it is true! Have you ever played Super Mario Bros. on the NES? If so, then you're in for a treat, because now you can play it on your Apple IIgs as well. http://iigs.dream…

And btw, another question: I see what looks like a SCSI card inside the IIgs. Assuming it's true, could I boot from a SCSI drive? Like could I format one of my old drives in ProDOS…

If you don't have a use for it, personally, I'd put it on eBay. I could be mistaken, but they go for hundreds of dollars on there. Anyone willing to drop several hundred dollars …

I found a new 5.25" head cleaning diskette at a thrift last year. Mostly it is the 3.5" drives that end up needing cleaning. A large q-tip with 99.99% alcohol would do the job.

Ok, so it seems my best bet is to try and clean the drives, right? Is there any easy way to do this? I already tried to take them apart, but having the plastic case off don't make …

What's the best way to clean a drive otherwise? Click to expand... Blow compressed air into it.

Take lots of pictures so we can all ooh and aah at its pristine attic ripened beauty

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that. Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere. Cli…

Now THERE'S a project for RetroChallenge! Lisa Office System is pretty capable (it even has spell check built in, a rarity for 1983 software) and integrates better than Office, iW…

My first thought would be to turn it into a web server or run a BBS off it... but I'm sometimes a bit of a masochist ;-)

Do you have a disk drive head cleaner? Click to expand... Do you mean those "fake floppies" with a cleaning brush on the disk? I don't, but I've seen some a while ago. What's t…

I have a LISA 2/10 in the attic and am seeking advice about what to do with it. I used it for years and have great respect for this machine but I am gradually facing the fact that…

Make sure the 3.5" drives are first and the 5.25" drives are connected after them.

Another possibility: since you say you can get into the Control Panel go to the Control Panel and select Slots, look at the Startup Slot setting and make sure it either says Scan o…

Then I just tried to stick one of the old floppies in a Mac. And I amazingly saw it mount just fine on the Mac's desktop, with a ProDOS icon and all its files. So it seems that my…

Do you have a disk drive head cleaner?

Hi there, Though a hardcore macuser (and collector) for a long, long time, I have to confess that I am a complete newbie in the Apple II world. I do own an Apple IIgs I got from a…

5300's are good machines. I second the idea of upgrading the LCD to an active matrix one. I would like to find one and do this to mine. They are so bloody cute. Then again so was…

an update: rambling about, I found an error 82 chat on http://www.mail-archive.com/lisalist@mail.maclaunch.com/msg00167.html. 82 is "no hard drive response"... James suggested flip…

Well I finally tried booting my Sawtooth in 8.6 using Almeath's file which I burned to CD. Since my sawtooth had a bootrom of 4.2.8f1, I assumed that 8.6 booting was no longer poss…

UniDisk drive (which has a ton of problems with ejecting disks) Click to expand... That's fixable, Scott. Strip down the drive, clean it and relubricate it. If that fails (whic…
