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…

Thank you very much for the reply, it cleared a few things up for me. Still how would I be able to play the midi drum set in real time? Just like a real drum set? Through a compu…

So if I have it right, I plug the drum pads into the MIDI drum controler then into the mac serial interface and then into powerbook. I load an old version of cubase Click to ex…

You'll need OMS...thats when the fun REALLY begins!

This forum is ALIVE I like that. What software can I use apart from the ones mentioned. I know I succesfuly installed Cubase on the Powerbook...

what software do you use with the midi interface, and what hardware do you plug in? Click to expand... Last time I plugged in a MIDI setup is quite a while ago. The software …

So if I have it right, I plug the drum pads into the MIDI drum controler then into the mac serial interface and then into powerbook. I load an old version of cubase, and record th…

Mac MIDI goes to the serial port, not ADB. There are lots of designs out there for making your own interface, or you can hunt one up on ebay for not too many dollars. Forget ProT…

Thanks for reply, thats great news! german is no problem for me neither making my own pcb. Anyway what software do you use with the midi interface, and what hardware do you plug in…

I built two of Mac RS422 to MIDI interface devices using the description given in the c't magazine. This interface works very well (powered from serial port, 1 x MIDI in, 2 x MIDI …

Hi, I´m going to build this project: http://www.electronics.dit.ie/staff/tscarff/Music_technology/8way_drm2/8way_drm2_1.htm It´s an 8-way velocity sensitive Midi drum pad. I wa…

I need a right arrow key for a IIe. Anyone have one or know here U=I can find one?

Seems okay to me too... a ][+ is getting to be relatively rare these days. I've seen crappy IIe's sell for more.

The pricing there is reasonable in my opinion. $50 total equates to about £25 and most Apple II gear goes for way more than that here.

All of Herb Johnson's stuff is overpriced. Click to expand... I kinda had that thought too, but it's really odd because he has this note on the Apple II's for sale page: Th…

Last I heard, Apple II prices are starting to get up there. But you're right, the missing keycap is a cosmetic problem at the very least and a functional problem at worst. (IIRC,…

All of Herb Johnson's stuff is overpriced.

Seems high to me. But then again, a quick scan of eBay confirms that astronomical prices for Apple II stuff seem to be the 'in' thing right now. I'd bet someone here would have one…

Take a look at this Apple II, especially the picture, and if anyone here has some estimates as to what it's worth, I would like to know: Apple II Plus #034, one drive disk I…

It needs a SWIM chip too doesn't it? Maybe that chip is gone, but the power is still hooked up, so the floppy drive powers on and starts to read the disk but then nothing is there …

I'm pretty sure that ROM support for those devices was removed after the Rev.A machines. Luckily you can drop a 333MHz CPU module into a Rev.A : - and a bare Rev.A board should no…

I am 99.99% certain these hacks will only work on a 233Mhz Rev A board. Click to expand... Make that 100% on the floppy drive. Maybe there are further hacks that can be done t…

Which reminds me..one of these days I've gotta find a Rev. A iMac somewhere...would be a neat machine to play around with, not to mention that if I keep it original and in good nic…
