    Apple IIGS display problem

    Solved ! Switching the frequency setting of the IIGS from 50 Hz to 60 solve the problem. Now the display is stable. Strange that I have to use a US (NTSC) setting for a EU Philips tv ???

    Questions about Apple IIGS and adb bus

    Thanks for the advices. Reflowing the adb connectors welding and/or trying to move the mouse plug give no result. The problem is still here. A test with a Apple Extended Keyboard II and the same mouse show everything is ok so the problem is for sure in the keyboard.

    file transfer msdos to macintosh system 7.0.1

    I find a solution. Original files probably come from an Unix system. Msdos EDIT can handle it correctly but not AFE. So I open it with Msdos EDIT, simply rewrite it (there is a slight change in the file size) and then transfer with AFE as text file. After adding a resource files open correctly...
