    Book upload: "A Guide to Computer Music" For Apple II, GS, Macintosh and more

    You're welcome! I find it to be an interesting and valuable resource, as well as a unique book style, from the perspective that it has worksheets which question the reader to actually find the right setup for themselves. It's something often skipped over in modern electronic music education. I...

    P-LAB's "Appledore" adapter (Commodore 64 Keyboard to Apple 1/ II / ASCII)

    Recently, P-LAB posted a new project, which allows use of C64 keyboards on Apple 1, Apple II, and generic ASCII TTL. https://www.applefritter.com/content/c64-keyboard-adapter-appledore I've had fun building a couple of these, and I can post a more detailed instruction if needed for anybody...

    NEED HELP: Joystick Shield + Mach III + Virtual ][ emulator + M1 Mac

    I can reach out to Henry, no problem. Especially since the new .hex file actually made it less sensitive and thus worsened the problem. I'll follow up with anything I hear back.

    NEED HELP: Joystick Shield + Mach III + Virtual ][ emulator + M1 Mac

    This app takes HEX files for the teensy 2.0 for future reference: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader_mac.html Annnd it's worse with the firmware update; 168,162 max toward the bottom right if I center it. Ugh. Will try some other joysticks later I suppose.

    NEED HELP: Joystick Shield + Mach III + Virtual ][ emulator + M1 Mac

    Well I took one of my two CH mach joysticks which works fine on my IIE and plugged it into the Joystick shield (original firmware, have not updated it yet). I cannot fully get to DOWN or RIGHT (UP and LEFT will max out). If I center it, I max out toward bottom right at a far cry from max, just...

    NEED HELP: Joystick Shield + Mach III + Virtual ][ emulator + M1 Mac

    I was pondering the same, seemed a normal calibration function of early PC games.

    NEED HELP: Joystick Shield + Mach III + Virtual ][ emulator + M1 Mac

    Understood. Ideally I want to find one of mine that calibrates fine on the Joystick shield, and then move it over to a real IIe and see what the numbers look like.

    NEED HELP: Joystick Shield + Mach III + Virtual ][ emulator + M1 Mac

    I have a couple Mach II's I believe that are both apple native. Many of my CH joysticks are PC ones with adapters but I don't want 2 adapters in the chain. I'll see if I can find a moment tomorrow to mess with it.

    NEED HELP: Joystick Shield + Mach III + Virtual ][ emulator + M1 Mac

    Glad to hear! Pergaps consider an adjustable "trimmer" cap? Might save you some work and would leave an adjustment point.

    NEED HELP: Joystick Shield + Mach III + Virtual ][ emulator + M1 Mac

    Nice! Glad there is at least progress. I've flashed some teensy controllers before but it's been forever. I'm doing family stuff this weekend but if nobody beats me to it I'll be sure to follow up.

    NEED HELP: Joystick Shield + Mach III + Virtual ][ emulator + M1 Mac

    Well sir, I probably have the same or similar enough setup. I have several mach CH series joysticks, a modern mac, and a joystick shield adapter. Firing up Virtual II shouldn't be a huge issue. I am not sure -when- i'll have time to do this, but if I get a chance sooner than later I'll certainly...

    Building TJBoldt's ProDOS ROM Drive for Apple ][

    Very nice, thank you for the reply. The one that is a case and power supply sounds like a perfect candidate for this perhaps, if a logic board falls from the sky (fingers crossed for you). For a video, would a comparison of the same GSOS image on a FloppyEMU 800k mode compared with this be a...

    Building TJBoldt's ProDOS ROM Drive for Apple ][

    Paging IIgs Owners: I have booted GSOS from this ROM Drive successfully (with some limitations), including the SCSI driver which gives the ability to access a BlueSCSI if you have a SCSI Card. Why? Well, that's why I'm making this post I suppose. Would anyone here have any reason to use a...

    Microsoft softcard?

    On my clone of the microsoft card, the LED only comes on for CPU activity I believe (that's how I remember it working with the lid off). For boot disks I am using microsoft softcard boot disks, some zips at the bottom of this page might help...

    Microsoft softcard?

    Unfortunately I can't speak to the fit, but I had never had an issue with larger cards in certain cases. Do you have photos of your card, and perhaps a photo of it in the machine? My Z80 Soft cards are both from GGlabs (one MSFT clone, one PCPI Applicard clone), so the footprint physically is...

    Help with Apple ][+ not working

    The goal would be to hopefully find the IC which doesn't change the problem [much] while removed, and to rule that IC as faulty. The folks on the AppleFritter forums have decades of experience on these, I would not be surprised to see someone there solve this nearly on sight, and I'd be...

    Easy way to transfer files to and from iMac G3?

    That looks really cool. Perhaps not the easiest way but I found my phone has tethering through USB-C to Ethernet, so I use it as a Wifi card basically if I'm not near a LAN port. For my files themselves, I just use an HTTP or FTP server generally, and just browse the folder index with internet...

    Apple II SCSI hard drive questions

    Looking at your card and the GGLabs SCSI card, they share the AM5380PC SCSI Controller IC, so your odds of success with a BlueSCSI or other modern SD solution are probably decent.
