This is worth reading.

The software for your card is here. You can format the "rest" of the disk with HFS once you've got GS/OS up and running (and updated to a non-buggy HFS driver) to recover the othe…

It's an Apple II SCSI card, of which I just the found the manual here. But according to that manual, I have to use software provided with the SCSI peripheral to format and partitio…

Thanks! Next question (I haven't tried yet, just wondering): the full GS/OS install is intented to be made on an external hard disk, right? Assuming my SCSI card works (which I ha…

I do have only a 2 Mb Ram card. I also have what I think is a SCSI card, not installed as of yet. So it should be ok, I hope. Thanks!

According to pictures of the IIgs innards I found on the net, stock IIgs didn't have a fan, right? Click to expand... Right. You can safely remove it if you don't have any unn…

Ok, it's time for some feed-back! I finally went further with cleaning those drives, since I recently got a nice Apple ][ Europlus and I needed the IIgs to be working in order to …

Status report: Made some changes to the G3's config file in regards to the modem port. In the GS, I used the monitor to do a 2 (Control-K) Return. Also tried PR#2. Both seem to ge…

Apple //c as a Dumb Terminal to my Mac mini

It's marvellous what this new fangled google thing will do... http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/2758-using-getty-serial-port-consoles.html

Some you might remember the desktop G3 I got awhile ago. Here's the setup: 1.) Desktop G3 with OS 10.2 and the usual printer/modem serial ports 2.) An Apple IIgs with the same se…

would u consider setting it up so we can dial in to it with telnet for the purpose of software development?

Not sure you got an answer to your question, so here's my shot at it: In addition to 120MB superfloppies, those drives will also read 1.44MB disks. Sadly, 800K (or 720K) disks are …

AFAIK, they were SuperDisk drives - the 120MB floptical things - and wouldn't read the 800/720k disks.

Anybody got a VST expansion bay floppy drive used in their Lombard or Pismo? If so, will it handle 800K disks, or just 1.44MB?

My two cents on this machine... I get a feeling John Sculley wanted to transition Apple into a one-computer company from the day he took over. When Jobs was ousted there were thre…

The Mark Twain was a last hurrah from the Apple II division to keep the II competitive. Apple stayed with Steve Jobs vision and saw the future in the Mac and didn't care about the …

The Apple II line could have kept going for a while if Apple wanted to support the IIgs at all. Apple did come out with the Apple III and that was not II compatible, the Mac was n…

Except that the Twain came long after the 128k. It is also quite possible that Apple wasn't in the least bit worried about the Twain competing with the Mac. The original IIgs mod…

try booting with only one three point five inch drive connected.

I have a feeling that if it was finished, the specs might have been on par with or even possibly exceeded the specs of the 128K. That could explain why it was canned.
