Sorry for not having adequately clarified earlier. Here's a selective copy/paste from the text description under Ron's great video here... Required Downloads: 1. PRODOS Boot Image (or the PROD bootable image of your choice) https://downloads.reactivemicro.com/A... 2. Total Replay - NOTE...

Apple IIe Card & MacSD Composite 2nd Test

After watching this Recode interview with Jony Ive, Laurene P. Jobs, and Tim Cook about the influence of Steve Jobs, I must say it really does harmonize with what I have long felt about Steve. I highly recommend you give it a complete watch. I especially appreciated the discussion around the...

Well, if you watch a few seconds of the video below from time stamp 2:46, it seems clear that everybody is restarting the machine when switching Total Replay games. Pretty crazy to me as a Mac user. I didn't realize how limited the Apple II series was. Wow.

Sadly, it appears impossible to add the "truncate" command to the Terminal on my Mac with MacOS Monterey. My attempted homebrew install of that command failed... REASON: "it has a removed upstream repository" (what the heck?!) Not sure if an "automatic image fitting/adjustment" feature...

Separately, I have a question for those of you who own a real IIe and who have loaded Total Replay before. Here's a photo of the credits screen taken by my iPhone7... If you look closely at the "Y" in R E P L A Y in the header, you can see the upper right part is green. You can see the...

@YMK & @Ron's Computer Videos I would love to hear your thoughts on my very first test (see iPhone video below) of the IIe Card inside my Color Classic Mystic, using the Composite feature of MacSD and some of the links Ron offers in the text description under his video. As you can see, I get...

Thanks for the info. I didn't know KAO did the OE supply of 1.44MB disks for Apple. But I doubt it was KAO for the Apple branded 400K and 800K disks. That's why in the opening post I said I suspect it was SONY, since SONY was making the drive mechanisms that Apple used. I just don't have any...

Not me, at least not until I read your post. Googling the name showed me this website: https://www.pirateship.com Seriously, I had never heard about them before. Wow.

This post is not about listing every vendor of floppy disks out there, in 2022, especially since most of us know they can most often be found on EBAY here and Amazon(USA) here. Today, I read this recent INTERVIEW with Tom Persky, who is owner of floppydisk.com. The article inspired me to email...

But how do you know if the carbon is worn away on the small POTs used in the Color Classic that @Mu0n is talking about? Thought he speaker only, or through headphones too? If it sounds the same through headphones too, I doubt it is the capacitor next to the sound chip, but has that capacitor...

Kay, have you used DeOxit Fader before? It is specifically for carbon faders and POTs...

I am aware, but as you know, moving a window around on a vintage Mac multiple times quickly is not too vastly different from a video. And if the window is large and filled with icons, the display wouldn't benefit that much from "localized" refresh. There's a YouTube video on the following...

If e-ink could be used without refresh lag, it would literally take over the B&W flatscreen market. But after all these years, the tech hasn't really taken off due to that problem. They've reduced the time required for refreshes down to about 3 Hz, but compare that to 60Hz and higher for...

I don't know what type Andrian's Digital Basement uses, but I have a can of the general use D5 stuff. With that said, I've never used it on POTs because I know there's a "Fader" version too: https://caig.com/fader-f-series/ But even though DeOxit Fader mentions both "POTs" and "Faders," it...

@Kay K.M.Mods might have some thoughts to share. Kay is my 先輩 when it comes to all things Color Classic!

@Kay K.M.Mods The problem with being from Mars is, I frustrate many Earthlings who think I'm like them. When Steve Jobs wrote The Crazy Ones, he was thinking of me. I really do Think Different. With that said, it could be training that made me like I am. You see, I grew up using the Mac...

Not sure about the technical parts so I cannot answer your question, but I myself have been continuously using Stuffit for decades. Even on my modern Mac, I have it in the menu bar to encode vintage files... I haven't had any issues with Binhex either, neither in Mini vMac or Basilisk II...

Forgive my being off-topic, but we seriously need an Animated GIF of that little guy! Not only that, but a vintage Mac app of just him doing a dance, with controls which allow the user to adjust his dance -- or shall I say, "oscillation" -- speed!

@Kay K.M.Mods Perhaps I am either more adept with my Left hand than most people, or maybe it could be said that I am "quasi-ambidextrous". Back when I lived in the US, decades ago, I used to fire a rifle on my left side, with my left finger as the trigger finger, aiming with my left eye in...
