could be interesting! I need to ask the owner of the card as that is not mine. I have no idea what software it belongs to though. Do you think we would be able to find out by looking into the ROMs?

Thanks Eric, I'm afraid I'm not following then. I am aware of the ROM requirements for the //c but the //c has a 19pin port at the back. The //e does not. So I guess I would need a floppy controller card which is compatible. I checked the link you mentioned (Thanks) but I did not find mentions...

Thank you both! I totally agree with the authentic feeling of a floppy - I guess it's just a matter of practicality as there is limited staff around. Exploring options though and it would be great to also have a floppy installed for the familiar "slicing" sound :) I believe this //e comes...

Hi all, I am helping a local museum of computing to display some Apple machines. Those would be turned on and available for the visitors to use. Floppies are probably unreliable/impractical to use. A Floppy EMU would work but it would be expensive. Is there any other option for a fixed...

interesting. Too bad the link on applefritter is not available anymore. Will a diagnostic software tell me more about that card?

My //e gave me headaches when I restored it. The drives would work intermittently. When working, they were fine. The following day they wouldn't. Only after a while I realised that the crimped bit, where the connector is attached to the flat cable, had oxidised and moving the drives/cables...

Hello all, I've opened an Apple //e today and found this mystery card in it. Any ideas of what it could be? I plugged it in, nothing weird happened. is there a way to query what card that is? Thanks!

Hi all, I've now managed to fix the final fault on that drive! I was not expecting that to be honest. I might check my //e drives as well. As usual, comments and feedback is very welcome!

Hi all, Some time ago I got an apple //c from a friend for my own pile of old nostalgic boxes! I was told it had an issue with the floppy but it turned out to be a much more interesting repair, with the floppy actually dying on me after it was fixed! As usual I made a video out of it. I hope...

Hi all, I repaired two of these cute little monitors (European 220V version, model G092S) and I made a video out of them. One of the monitor required a mod - at least that is what I decided to do - as the main transformer had gone so I'm sharing my solution to the issue along with the analysis...

Thanks, found it!

I do have a programmer so yes, it would be simpler to get the PIC then. I'll search for the code - unless someone is so kind to point me to it! :) Thanks!

That's amazing! I do have a programmer so I can program my own! Would you be so kind to point me to the code that needs to be used? Do I understand correctly or the PIC16F87 still needs the adaptor? The reason for asking is that I already have a 342S0440-B from a spare board. So if that could...

Hello Kai, My first message here. I discovered your adaptor and this forum via a video on JDW - which left me breathless! The amount of work on the Macintosh SE reloaded is impressive! I am reparing an SE myself and I am having issue with the ADB. After diagnosing a bit (happy to share my...
