    Microsoft softcard?

    alright, I have got the light to "light up". I found some CP/M disks that are probably for a Trs-80, but didn't know as they were hand written, tried that out, and I get the card light to light up and then it boots to a curser screen that locks up the machine. The 4 discs I do have don't seem...

    Microsoft softcard?

    No dice on any life out of this card so far, having reset half the board. I do worry that I am using the wrong disk controller for it. I have a 5.25" apple disk controller. Is this fine? Do I have to use a Disk II controller? I would assume that the red light would light if it at all times...

    Microsoft softcard?

    But, it isn't lighting up and shows zero signs of life, so I am going to reset the chips to see if I get a spark out of it, hopefully! I do have original Microsoft disks, etc. Plus a copy of Apple Wordstar, not sure how I acquired it, but maybe dad had found it somehow.

    Microsoft softcard?

    Well, I spoke (err wrote) too soon. I managed to get it to fit. I'll show you proof! It is a TIGHT squeeze.

    Microsoft softcard?

    I am slowly going through my multitude of apple computers and letting some go via local craigslist. *SIDE NOTE, I have a few m0110a keyboards that I have been selling, probably too cheaply at 25.00 a piece. correct me if I am wrong here* Most of the local pickups are paying me 100 to 150 for a...

    Sony Model 35

    Going through my dad's old shop I noticed he had acquired a cp/m based Sony word processor that looks a bit like a compact Macintosh. Any information on this would be cool! I noticed the few websites where people have posted about it. I don't have a keyboard for it, but maybe there is one...

    My late father's collection

    The 128ex is pretty slick. I haven’t opened it yet but it seems to work. I hate putting in working original discs in these old machines as I never know what it might do to them but a copy of AppleWorks seemed to work great. Missing a few keys but I wonder if they are in the shop somewhere. ...

    IIGS, Apple Squeezer, Rom 3

    Okay, to further document the errors I am getting. I was able to download the HTML Tools using the Safe2 downloader tool. Its nice that I can point to a file on an HTML site and it just downloads. I unpacked all the files and replaced tools, and fonts, and I am still getting issues with...

    IIGS, Apple Squeezer, Rom 3

    I am really enjoying the Apple Squeezer especially with the Uthernet Card installed. It works fantastic. I have ran into an issue that I am going to try and problem solve. When I launch the latest edition of Script Central (2022) I get a bad software, less likely bad memory error. Really...
