I dunno how I managed to have a LC II as my dailly driver back in the 90s!!! I am strugling with many aspects of it!! I have system 7.5.3 instaled via Blue Scsi. The lattest struggle is against a PInnacle RCD5040 CD-ROM Recorder. It's connected and recognized by both SCSI Probe and Toaster 3...

Think you very much! I’ll try the memory check. I had no idea either that the motherboard memory was the one to be disabled. Btw, searching the internet trying to sort out the problem I read about the possibility of accessing the 12MB of RAM on an LC by means of an extension… Is that possible...

Hi folks. My first color mac was a 2nd hand LCII I got back in 1995. A couple years ago I got a new LC II. I got it all the way from France to Brazil, hence I cal him Frenchy (my language has gramatical gender and computers are masculine lol). I am little by little upgrading it to the dream...

I got dizzy just reading the posts! I can’t even make TenFourFox or InterWeb to work on my G4 MDD.

Hi folks, I got an A2 Pi Pico card that doubles as a VGA card or a CP/M card. I understand this project is open, so there is more than one developer working on it. My problem is that my card won't handle double high-res as it should… A2Desktop looks awful. If I set the card to B&W, then it...

Thanx! You guys always amaze me!

Hi folks, Some time ago, I posted my small collection of Newton MessagePads (actually remnants from the 90s when I really used them) on this thread: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/messagepad-120.176/ I recently came across a lot of Newtons "for parts" and acquired it. I intend to try to...

Hi. I found a guy selling them here in Brazil. But he got me confused (he’s not an Apple guy) about the version I should buy: digital or analog? thanks.

That explan the odd results I was getting in PRODOS! indeed I got a stretched image, but both horizontally and vertically. I could only fill the screen with the upper left quadrant of the image.

So far I managed to get into double low res mode using DLOWRES. I tested your program and, as expected, it filled one page of the double-low-res mode: Now I have to figure out the structure of the double-low res file…

THIS ONE WORKED!!!! I will now dig into the theory and try to understand it! Thanks a lot! The file created by Bucksot is indeed 960 bytes long. Now the only one that I have to figure out is the Double Lo-Res! The binary is exactly the double: 1920 bytes.

I made this experiment to try to understand the line order in the Buckshot file. It seems the line order is 0, 1, 6, 7, 12, 13, 18, 19, … 2, 3, 8, 9, … 4, 5, 10, 11...

I think the problem is the Buckshot output. I converted that heart image to a low-res image file. I then used the load at HGR and then transfering it to GR approach. Using an assambly routine I got this: Using your BASIC program I got this: I think your program has some wrong value...

Hi folks. Programs to encode modern images into Apple II-savvy formats are not new. Digarok released a nifty utility to do so: Buckshot. I recently came to know about it in a YouTube video by @Javmast3r . The application lets you convert images into 4 modes: Low Resolution Double Low...

Correct me if I’m wrong: I can get a Mac LC or a Mac classic to listen to the 9600 serial port during start up using a terminal program? How would I configure the terminal? What would be the correct baud rate?
