Exactly! :) But I do wish to humbly thank Eric for the suggestion, as that app can help folks who prefer Windoze. (And yes, that's my deliberate and preferred spelling.) Sadly, it seems that ImageConverter doesn't work to convert .po files because it cannot even recognize/see them! Odd...

Thank you for the tip, Eric! It's interesting to see that CiderPress is a Windows-only app. We have some Windows machines at the office, but I am one of those rare Mac users who never purchased even a single Windows computer through the years. Yep, that's right... From my first use of the Mac...

Kay Koba and I were speaking last night. After I mentioned to him that 2.2.1 of the IIe Startup app resolved the problem, he reminded me of some subtle differences between the built-in floppy drive of the LC575 versus the Color Classic (CC). So even though I am still using the LC575...

PROBLEM #1 (my opening post) is NOW SOLVED! After spending countless hours on this, the solution was simple, yet non-intuitive. I read that I am supposed to use v2.2.2d1 of the IIe Setup app for the LC575 motherboard, but when I tried older version 2.2.1 just now, it resolved the problem. I...

Just to clarify what I showed in my video, the IIe Card CAN indeed "communicate" with my CC's floppy disk drive. As I said, it can Read just fine. I can Rename anything on the disk just fine. I can even use Erase in AppleWorks to delete all files just fine. But I cannot Format. And I cannot...

I never use Anti-virus on my vintage Macs. Here's my theme song. :-) I can only try to disable all Control Panels and Extensions other than the required ProDOS extension to see what happens. That will need to wait until this evening though. After countless hours of testing, my guess is...

Yes, and you can see that "volume unmounting" occur in the video I included at the end of my opening post. I say "volume" because I have not partitioned any drive. I think the IIe environment views ProDOS Volumes & Partitions the same, but they are technically different things. I appreciate...

Yes, that is what I think I am seeing in your screen photos.

But in your first screen photo, I am not noticing anything being chopped off or truncated or pixel-distorted. It looks exactly like it should when the resolution is set to 560x384. If it was displaying in something other than 560x384 mode, I would expect some kind of distortion. But again, I...

My second question is about something that is probably impossible, but perhaps some of you have some tricks I don't know. Let's say you don't have a BlueSCSI or FloppyEMU or MacSD, but you managed to get a ProDOS *.po disk image onto your vintage Mac. It's 800K in size. You format a real 800K...

SOLVED! Solution here While working on my IIe Card video, I've run up against a number of things I cannot explain. We had a good discussion here recently, but I feel this needs its own thread with a more specific title, in the proper sub-forum (which is perhaps best suited here rather than in...

I cannot comment on the LC except to say that typically the Apple 12" RGB Display is used with them, and that display has a native resolution of 512x384. So it seems you have something other than the 12" display. Regardless, I'd love to see a photo of your display when the IIe Card is in the...

I especially want to hear from a Color Classic owner who also owns the IIe Card and who has done the high-voltage VGA mod, which changes the refresh to 67Hz. I suspect resolution switching even in that case would work fine, but that isn't something I've tested.

Yes, I don't own any LC machines. I only have a Color Classic Mystic.

But if 560x384 isn't a supported resolution in MacOS, would it even work? Not sure. Maybe not. Mac on Lisa works, I assume, because it is something supported by the Lisa, right? Regardless, we need to know how the resolution switching on the Mac is done in order to know if it's possible to...

No because as 8-bit guy points out, the Mac requires SQUARE pixels and using 560 would not keep them square.

ANSWER: this Apple technical document (Side note: I have the standard VGA mod which retains the 60Hz refresh rate. Not sure what happens if you use the other VGA mod which uses 67Hz.) For even more detailed info, start watching this video until about the 13:00 mark. He shows both the LC and...

It is stable, yes. It looks as perfect with the VGA mod as without. I never tested my machine with the IIe Card in the stock resolution, but when I find screenshots online of the stock resolution CC using the IIe Card, it looks identical to mine with the VGA mod in place. Again, this is...

I am currently filming a new video about the Apple IIe Card in my Color Classic Mystic. As many of you know, I performed the VGA mod on this CC earlier this year, which boost the stock resolution of 512x384 to 640x480. Smaller pixels means everything is smaller, but the upside is you can run...

Moral of the story: Stop being nervous! Get your point across quickly! Had Jobs not crossed paths with that nervous young man in the the lobby, we probably wouldn't have an OS X Dock today (not as we know it). But how many of us get such a lucky second chance. Most of the time, we've got one...
