So finally got some cards for my IIe. With the disk ][ card in slot 6, it hangs at the apple II power on screen. I presume its polling for a disk to load. with it removed it get a cursor too. I can CTRL-RESET out to a prompt fine though. But is there a command to test to see if the controller is working? or at least seen? I'm waiting on a drive solution currently.

What is the highest number of floppy drives one could have connected to an Apple ][ at once?
Does this vary by model?

(Assume every card slot has a drive controller)

Hi, will those floppies work with Apple-IIe Disk drive?

Hello there, I have downloaded gsplus, rom1 and rom3, put those both in the gsplus file, and started it up. But the blue screen iigs side is just showing an asterisk and a blinking cursor. What did I miss? Also the code on the left-hand side doesn’t read exactly as what is in the manual picture. Help! Lol

Hi folks,
Apologies if this is a complete n00b question, but I've been trying to figure out how to copy a 5.25 Pascal disk containing old source code to an image on an SD card.

Any pointers? I am only too aware that it's a specific disc format and normal copying won't work.

Thanks!

So i got an Apple IIe which came with no cards, It fires up with a clean image and I could type a simple basic program in.

I've ordered a few cards just to get it up and running and tested further like a VGA card, DISK ][ controller and a 80col 64k ram card. I'm planning on getting a SDISK for floppy emulation. I'm UK based so ideally ordering locally but wondering what I should get in addition? with the bigger ram cards I see there's no mention of the 80col so do you leave both ram cards in or is 80col dealt with on all ram cards?

PSU replacement will be on the cards too but I'm far more familiar with that sort of thing.

One thing I expected to find but didnt was a floppy card with the SD built onto it. Anyway, suggestions welcomed.

how do i go about developing homebrew software for my apple IIe and compiling it to disk format to work on a floppyemu? not really sure where to start. thanks!

Does anyone use this Floppy Disk Controller (Disk II Interface card)? I just bought it and trying with my Apple-IIe. After powering the computer ON it produces a beep, after that Drive 1 starts the head calibration (I guess) and the disk motor starts to spin. Nothing happens after that and the keyboard of computer is not responsive at all. Reset does not help.

Did I install the drive cables correctly (there is no key in connector)? Also did I install the board correctly in to the bus?

First the Apple IIe turns on and has a picture, but the keyboard doesn't work. When I insert the Disk II card there is no signal, sound or picture. The red light flickers only and the light on the keyboard is also off... Thanks for the help!

6502 Script: scans slots to find an 80-column card

Hello, I’m looking for an assembly script that scans all slots to identify the presence of an 80-column card on the Apple II+ as well as the IIe or IIc… Thank you in advance!

I'm getting my vintage computer soon, a very crusty iiGS, and it didn't come with a monitor, so I'm looking for a way to use a modern display with it for now. Using an OSSC (using a iiGS RGB to SCART cable to the OSSC?) seems like the best solution, but the A2FPGA does seem tempting, since it would be a lot neater and not require ordering exotic cables. The thing is I've already ordered a BOOTi for disk images, which recommends using slot 7, and the A2FPGA wiki page says you can't use slot 7 when using the A2FPGA without flashing a firmware to disable a feature. Is there any reason to not get the OSSC, apart from having to source a RGB to SCART cable?

I have some vintage software that id like to get off of some Mackintosh 3.5 in floppy disks but need a vintage 1980s/90s mac to do so. My goal is to get the data converted to a .dsk file type in order to use it with a Mac emulator...anyone who is able to help with this or point me to a service that can?

When I was in 3rd grade we had apple II machines and I played a math game that was you flaying a plane and when you got math problems correct you would drop bombs and shoot enemies. Where can I find this?

The iigs had a very good sound chip already. Confused on what the sonic blaster does in addition to the iigs sound chip

Hello so I was looking for an Apple IIC to put in my retro computing collection and stumbled upon one in the site leboncoin (French fb marketplace/ebay) now I’m French living in Madrid and it was at 200€ (great price compared to Spain) but the only issue is that it’s basically the opposite location to where I am: Rouen, Normandy. Should I go there and a bit of a little question that might help, is bringing CRTs on planes allowed? Sorry if my English is bad I usually have great English but I guess I didn’t sleep well..!

After a while working this monitor started to smell weird and image now is as image is showing, any clue where to start?

Hello! I'm super new to Apple 2 and am currently trying to learn Applesoft basic code via. the Applewin emulator. The only issue is that I'm having difficulties using this software in a way that permits to do such. I know this is a niche subject, but would really appreciate any help.

I found this old apple in a storage unit. Was wondering where or if I could sell it.
