When it comes to CD-ROMs, I guess I was an early adopter. I ended up paying $800 for an NEC Multispin 2x CD-ROM in 1992 or so. Even though it cost a fortune and could only read disks, it was external and it was SCSI. It seemed like a good value at the time. Of course it doesn't seem like...

This seems to work, the major drawback being that changes to the forum may break it...

I just snagged a copy of ClarisWorks from a thrift store today. Version 1.0, the shrinkwrap was still on the box (albeit ripped open) and the floppy envelope was unopened (ditto for the manuals). It kinda reminded me of the first time I bought software for my first Mac. It was a shrinkwrapped...

I was gutting some stuff that I am going to toss, and one of those things was the aforementioned apple keyboard. Inside I found a chip labeled as followed: NEC Japan 8801H7 (Manufacturer and date code?) 8048HC610 341-0124-A (NEC's part number followed by Apple's part number?) ©APPLE87...

Watch that to find out how capable and how slow the Apple II really is.

Ignoring the bloatware bit, ADT has gotten a whole lot better. Rather than being limited to serial-port transfers (I still have to make my null modem), you have ethernet for speed and audio for the serially-deprived. :) http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/ Now I have to build a null modem adapter...

I'm a huge fan of the Apple PLW320 and 4/600 printers. They still work great in Mac OS X, and you have software to use them in Linux. (Microsoft dropped LocalTalk support in Windows XP though.) So I'm looking at the Ubuntu wiki to see how to setup the printer properly, since I usually use a...

/me looks around in a paranoid fashion. I think the Mac users are trying to make us disappear. Even after all of your years of loyalty to the cause. So we better make sure we are prepared, and catalog our arsenal. Or to put it in less fanciful terms, what Apple II's do you have? ;) I'll...

What is your favourite application and game for the Apple II? My favourite application is AppleWorks. It is just short of brilliant, and it runs on an 8-bit micro. My favourite game is more personal, rather than a "best of" type product. It is small game written in Applesoft BASIC called...
