APPLE-BUG <3> APRIL 1987 Mailing labels. Your membership number and membership expiry date are on the first line (at the top) of the mailing label. Your expiry date is in the form year/month e.g. 8709 = 1987 September. Example: MBR # 0068 - Exp: 8709 THE SECRETARY APPLE-Q: THE BRISBANE USERS’ GROUP P.O.BOX 721 SOUTH BRISRANE.QLD 4101 We require an address for each of the following members: #0040 =Ted Steiler #0284 = Neville Hack #0302 = Paul Clewley Many thanks to the few members who have taken the time to fill in the Membership Renewal forms, and return them to us so we could update the club records. At the March Fxecutive Committee meeting, the matter of increasing the membership fees was discussed at length. The New Membership Fees are as follows: Joining Fee: $10 Adults/Family: $20 Students/Pensioners: $12 (Students under 21 years - Pensioners on production of Pensioner Card - at the discretion of the Executive Committee) The club’s power packs are disappearing. We used to have enough to go round all the members when they set up their equipment, but now we only have twelve (12) left. We cannot afford to replace them when they go missing, as they are quite expensive. We have lost, on an average, one power pack per month, over the last twelve months. Is someone out there collecting power packs? Two of the missing extension cords have been located. We have been ask by many people if the club is an Incorporated Society. The answer has always been NO. Moves are now underway to incorporate. Bernie Benson has volunteered to set things up for us through the Justice Department Incorporation scheme. He has already started preparing the constitution, and will have something prepared for the next committee Meeting, which will be held the on 20th April at the club rooms. C Editor’s Notes ] We desperately need an Editor. If you would like to take on the job of typing in other members contributions, and generally getting the newsletter ready for the printer, then please make yourself known to the committee. This APPLE-BUG <4> APRIL 1987 position was not filled at the AGM, and we are still looking for someone to fill it. Please also remember that this position requires the member to be of a legal age so that they are capable of signing cheques for the club. C Secretary’s Notes ] It never fails to amaze me just how much faster the years seem to go by each time around. Here it is, Easter again, and it seems like just the other day that it was only Christmas. I think it must have something to do with the amount of time that we spend doing this newsletter. We have been busy over the last month with a large amount of correspondence passing through our hands in relation to our meeting with Apple Queensland a while back. We have contacted the southern States, and have been informed by them that they also recieved the same treatment from Apple. The Apple Users Society of Melbourne (AUSOM) have told us that their equipment was donated to them by a dealer that has special ties with the user group. Therefore, it appears that it would be back to the drawing board for us. However, we have had an offer from Apple Queensland for two 5 megabyte hard disk drives at staff prices. We are seriuosly considering this offer, but after advice from one of the Committee members that a few members have stated that they think too much money is being spent on equipment for the BBS, I would like to ask all members to state what they would like to see the club doing with the funds that the club raises. If you have any ideas at all, then please let us know. We are open to suggestion from all members and we would like to hear from you. If we get no feedback from members, then we will assume that it is fine to go ahead and purchase the drives from Apple. Another matter which may cause concern amongst club members is the rise in membership fees. The Committee approved at the March meeting, a new fee structure for the club. We have raised the adult membership fee to $20 (up $2) and the student/pensioner fee to $12 (up $3). We have also introduced a joining fee of $10. This joining fee will not affect current members of the club. We announced that we were looking at increasing the membership fees in a previous newsletter and we asked for feedback on this matter. To date I have recieved one letter about this. We have tried to keep the membership fees the same as previous for as long as possible, but unfortunately the time has come prematurely. The club is becoming incorporated and the cost of the day to day operation of the club has escalated over the years. Therefore, we feel that it is necessary to up the fees slightly. The raises were kept as low as possible, and we would like all members to remember that it is only once a year that you pay fees, and the raise, in the worst case, is only 6 cents a week. A few newsletters and magazines have beeh recieved over the past month, and I will get these to Richard as soon as possible. We have also recieved a lot of enquires from Apple users in regards to both membership and problems that they are experiencing with their machines. We have endeavoured to answer all these enquires, but if we have missed someone out, it is not intentional and we will get around to them in the very near future. The main feature of the newsletter this month is the membership list. This list contains names, suburbs and phone numbers of members of Apple-Q. Please do not abuse this list, it is put in for your convenience, and I would ask that any member that has any trouble from other members abusing this list to please contact us with the relevant details and we will take the appropriate APPLE-BUG <5> APRIL 1987 action against these people. The list is put in at the request of a lot of members of the club who for mixed reasons cannot. make it to the Open Days and asked for the list so that they could get in touch with other people in their area who may be able to help them with « problem they are oxperiencing. Well, that’s about it for this month. I will not be able to attend the April Open Day as 1 will be heading off to Gladstone to attempt. to win a concrete canoe race. So if you have any enquires on the Open Day, please direct them to Graham or any of the other Committee members present. So until next month, Good Computing. C BBS Report ] by Graham Black We have been having a bit of trouble with some users not being able to get on the system. It was discovered that power spikes were affecting the Non-volatile memory of the modem. We have corrected this (1 hope) by reset ing the modem defaults on a regular basis. If anyone has any trouble connecting, Please let us know. If you are using the BELL tones, you can expect trouble from time to time. Just to make matters worse, two weeks ago, the system decided to rol] over and turn up its toes. This did not exactly fill me with overwhelming joy, with the prospect of having to put the BBS over onto my system (again). The club’s computer is currently in for repairs, and should be back up and working by the time you read this newsletter. Delsound Electronics have been good to us again, and have loaned us a computer to keep the system up and running. The on-line games, Stock Market and Casino, are increasing in popularity. As the funds become available, we will improve these areas of entertainment.

Apple announced in mid-January. The new model is: otherwise little changed from its predecessor - even the price remains the same. The new keyboard has the same layout as the //GS keyboard, but the heavier feel of the older //e keyboard. The reset key has been moved above the ESC and 1 keys and the power light is now above the slash key on the numeric keypad. The numeric keypad’s CLEAR key, which returns a control-X on the //GS, is a duplicate ESC key on the new //e. By means of a hardware- jumper cut-and-paste operation, you can make it match the //GS, however. In addition to the visible changes on the exterior of the computer, the machine uses a_ revised motherboard that Apple has actually been putting in new //es since October. The new board includes 64k of RAM in just two chips instead of the previous eight and uses just one ROM chip instead of the previous two. The contents of the ROM are unchanged. The motherboard has also been revised slightly so that an additional 64k of memory can be placed on a very small card :that is inserted into the auxillary slot during manufacturing. Thus, all units now come with 128k memory. The internal numeric keypad connector was retained. The shift-key mod. In order to allow mouse-based software to detect a “shift-click” (simultaneous presses on a shift key and the mouse button), the new motherboard comes with the "shift-key" modification already wired. This modification originated with the Apple II-Plus, which doesnt support lower-case characters. The II-Plus shift keys affect only the dual--character number ahd symbol keys. In order to make the shift keys functional with letters too, a scheme was devised whereby users could wire the shift key to the third pushbutton on the game connector. By monitoring that "push-button", word processors and other programs can determine whether the II-Plus_ shift key is being pressed. When the original //e was being released, jumper pads were provided at motherboard location X6 to make this an easy modification. Now bow-ties are provided to make it easy to disconnect. Problems can arise because devices that actually use the internal games port’s third pushbutton input will cause shift-key-modified machines to go into permanent shifted state unless the modification is removed In addition, simultaneously pressing the shift key and the third’ pushbutton input will cause a short circuit on, shift-key-modified machines and shut down the Apple //e power supply. Since the open-apple and solid-apple/option keys are wired to the game connector’s first and second pushbutton inputs, this chart and program show you how to read all three keys: decimal -decimal hex description 49249 -16287 $c061 PBO, open-apple 49250 -16286 $C062 PB1, solid-apple 49251 ~16285 $CO63 PB2, shift- key mod 10 IF PEEK(49249)>127 THEN PRINT "You’re pressing the open-apple key." 30 IF PEEK(49250)>127 THEN PRINT "You’re pressing the solid-apple key." 40 IF PEEK(49251)>127 THEN PRINT "You’re pressing the shift key.” 50 GOTO 10 This program says you are pressing the shift key when you’re not, then the APPLE-BUG <7> APRIL 1987 "“shift-key mod" is connected. This is always the case on the //GS, which has another means, known as the "modifier-key status register", of telling you not only the status of shift, but also of control, caps lock, option, and open-apple, as well as whether any key on the numeric keypad is down, whether any of the ASCII-code keys is down, or whether the keyboard is repeating. This register is at byte 49189 ($C025). Here’s an Applesoft program that shows how to use it. 10 D=PEEK(49189) : GOSUB 1510 : HOME 20 IF B(7)=1 THEN PRINT "The open-apple key is pressed." 30 IF B(6)=1 THEN PRINT "The option key is pressed." 40 IF B(5)=0 THEN PRINT "An ASCII-code key is pressed." 50 IF B(4)=1 THEN PRINT "A numeric keypad key is pressed." 60 IF B(3)=1 THEN PRINT "The keyboard is repeating." 70 IF B(2)=] THEN PRINT "The caps lock key is pressed." 80 IF B(1)=1 THEN PRINT "The control key is pressed." 90 IF B(0)=1 THEN PRINT "A shift key is pressed." 99 POKE 49168,0 : GOTO 10 : REM clear keyboard strobe 1510 FOR N=7 TO 0 STEP -1 1520 : BN=2*N : B(N)=0 : IF D>BN-1 THEN D=D-BN :B(N)=1 1530 NEXT : RETURN The reason a program might want to know if a numeric keypad key is being pressed is so that it can tell between, for example, the keypad’s slash key and the main keyboard’s slash key. All of the keypad’s keys have main keyboard duplicates. Also notice that bit 5 is meaningful when it has been cleared to zero, while the others are meaningful when they are set to one. C Book Reviews ] Title: Machine Level Programming on the Apple ][, //e. Author: Graham Keeler Published by: Prentice Hall. 209 pages. (Now in the A-Q Library) Reviewed by: Terry Sweetser. The Author intends this book to be an introduction to machine language on the Apple II, and to help readers understand the basic machine architecture of the 6502 and the internal memory organization of the Apple II. This book puts those concepts across very well for advanced and beginner, assembly language programmers, and it helps a bit to know something about the machine before diving into this volume. Such things as binary and hexadecimal notation are explained in the first few chapters. Further through the text are many good examples and locations inside Applesoft, the assembly programmer can use. Appendices include an ASCII code chart, the effect on the status register of every instruction, and the circuit and artwork for an interface board that can be used with some examples. Title: Apple Instrumentation and Control: Circuits and Software Author: by J. Oleaky Published by: Prentice Hall. 174 pages. (Now in the A-OQ Library) Reviewed by: Terry Sweetser. This one is well suited to the hacker with a few years poking inside APPLE-BUG <8> APRIL 1987 computers, or two years into an Electronic Systems Engineering course. The author goes through Parallel I/0, Digital to Analog and Analog to Digital conversion, Power switching, Measuring and Multi-Testing, generating Waveforms, Serial I/O and IEEE-488 Buss interfacing! Example programs are in basic and machine code, and you’ll find out how your computer talks to your printer. Well now, .this book should be going out on loan on a REGULAR basis. If you need some information on how to do things with Apple the hardware way, then you need this book.

APPLE-BUG <9> April 1987 (C Letters to the SYSOP |] from the BBS From —> BERNIE BENSON (#193) Date -> 15/03/87 22:05:16 Subject -—> More Funds The following suggestions are submitted in complete ignorance of previous management decisions and also without having read the Club Rules. This letter is in response to requests for ways to increase the funds in the club coffers. I think that it would be fair to say that over the years a number of hard working people have applied a lot of their spare time for the benefit of the club members at that time and also for the future. It is the future that these comments are aimed at with the spin off being able to Pick up a few dollars along the way. In referring to the future I believe that the club assets built up over the years should be protected for future members as well as being available for present use. The asset to which I am referring is the Software Library and to me this appears to be available to all and sundry to copy at will and in some cases to have complete disregard for the club asset, this is evidenced by a reminder on the last page of the current bug which identifies a number of missing disks. To provide some security to the club asset (the librarian should be the only person with access to the library) and to turnover a few extra dollars it is suggested that the software library be available to members only through a disk purchase basis. It is suggested that disks be sold at $5.00 each and that orders must be Placed through an appropriate source with delivery free if picked up at the club meets or by payment of a further charge to cover costs if it is required to use the postal service. At current trading table prices this represents an outlay of $2.70 for the programs and $2.30 for the disk. Good value! As the library remains in the control of the librarian the possibility of the loss of further disks is reduced hence the availibility of the disks for future members. This would also make the library available to country members and members who for one reason or another do not attend club meetings. I may be incorrect but I don’t think these members presently have software library access. Library Listing: I am presently aware of two Apple clubs who offer their library to members at a price and the following is based on their current listing. A.P.P.L.E. Co-Op - Their list is simply a catalog of each disk with three column per page. Approx cost $A7.50 per disk. Sydney Apple Users Group ~- Their handbook is a program listing with notes regarding the programs. However, their move to the present presentation has been made over a number of years as their earlier listings were mainly catalog listings only similar to A.P.P.L.E. Cost $8.00 per disk. Both charge postage extra. I do not know the number of disks owned by the club, however I estimate that to catalog a disk, cut and paste the catalog to fit three across a page would take at the most 10 minutes per disk. If action were to be taken in this regard, I would be prepared to back up this suggestion with an offer to prepare the first 25 disks within one week of receiving the disks. The catalog listing would have to be limited in length to enable them to fit three across a page. For DOS disks Poke 44567,14 limits listing to 15 APPLE-BUG <10> April 1987 characters the same as ProDOS and it is suggested that Elite Proportional be used. With the involvement of a few members under the control of the Software Librarian I am sure that the listing could be available for distribution with the next A-Bug. Further refinements to the listing and maybe the addition of some program descriptions could be a long term objective. The BBS The users of this facility also should in some way provide some funds for additions to the system maintenance, replacement and updating etc. I suggested that members who wish to have access to certain facilities on the BBS (I don’t have any suggestions) should pay an additional BBS fee of say $5.00 and this will tend to help the RBS to be self supporting. Bernie From —> GRAHAM SYMS (#18) Date —> 28/03/87 12:05:16 Subject —> Hard Disk (Profile) J. read with much interest, about the support that Apple has offered the club. I was under the impression that the 5 meg Profile (Hard-Disk) was obsolete. I think a User Group is the best means of FREE advertising, a computer company can have. I know the Dealers are always referring people to Apple-Q, as that was how I came in contact with the club. This Bulletin Board System, thut you Sysops have set up, would have to be proof that the Apple is not just an expensive, overpriced TOY, and I congratulate you all on your achievements of such a massive undertaking, with such limited equipment at your disposal. I feel sure, that without the support of Delsound Electronics and some very generous club members, with the equipment they have loaned the club on an almost permanant basis, this BBS may have remained a dream, instead of becoming a reality. I think the club should go ahead and purchase the 5 meg Profiles for the BBS. I think the Executive Committee, and the Sysops, have done an _ excellent job in providing the members of Apple-Q with a first-class on-line facility.

When people ask this, I don’t think they realise just how big a task that really is as we have over 9500 public domain programs on the club disks. However, here is the start of the library, and we will endevour to put together more listings as time permits. The files are divided into sections, and the files in each section are required for the particular applications. The prefix before each file name represents the file type. i.e. B=Binary T=Text A=Applesoft I=Integer. Each section is seperated by a string of -’s and each volume is seperated by a string of -’s.
