Thank you for the reply, Eric. I went through all 3 pages of this thread searching for "eric" and gleaned the following 2 bits of info from you, which state that the FloppyEMU was an integral part of your solution, as well as using "the copy utility on the Apple II"... Post #28 Post #33...

So far, my BlueSCSI tests have ended in failure. Today, I downloaded a 32MB blank ProDOS image from SavageTaylor here. I first tried it with MacSD as a regular disk image, but it wouldn't mount. I then put it inside my Composite folder and found it would mount. I then proceeded to copy files...

I am finding what seems to indeed be an "OS limitation," @eric . I used ShrinkWrap v. 3.5.1 running in System 7.5.5 to create a 32768K image (while the "ProDOS File System" extension was loaded). I specifically told ShrinkWrap to create a ProDOS image (no compression), however, I can confirm...

I have done the same, but for some reason I feel I know the man better than many who have written books about him, despite the fact I've never met him in person. That's probably because I am often greatly misunderstood and end up spending a lot of time fondling the emotions of others so they...

I tested out BlueSCSI just now using only (1) the aforementioned *.raw image and (2) the Total Replay image, both of which mount fine when placed in a MacSD composite folder. (My ZIP file contains both of those.) BlueSCSI log file (for @eric ) is shown below. Interestingly, the Total Replay...

Your counterpoint potentially sparks debate, which as I said, is a good thing. :-) I noticed the phrase "unlimited tolerance" in your Wiki article. I don't preach that, and I have never engaged with anyone who does. I also don't believe that all boundaries need pushing. There is more that...

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...
