    Network Games for Apple II?

    This is kind of unrelated to the network part, but I can't get your single-player snake game to run. Anything I should know that I might not about getting it to work? I don't have any paddle controllers, is it possible that that is the problem?

    Apple II internet

    Anyone have any idea how to use SLIP to connect an Apple II to a PC running Windows XP and get internet? It seems like a plausibly doable solutions, but some pointers would be helpful.

    Clarification needed on the rules: Internet connectivity

    Using a period modem would be the least of your problems. Good luck trying to find a dial-up provider, much less know whether or not your modem will work with their service. Not only that, but dial-up is barely usable on modern internet and I can't see how you could host any multiple connection...

    Got myself an Apple IIe (Enhanced) today!

    I wouldn't say that myself. Although I'll admit it was a little on the pricy side. It was a buy it now though which usually commands a higher price. That price included $67 in shipping, so it was more like $125 for the computer and accessories. Considering that it included the monitor (apple...

    Got myself an Apple IIe (Enhanced) today!

    Received it today via Fedex. :) Unfortunately I have a parallel straight through cable and a parallel to serial adapter, but not a gender changer. The adapter has a male DB-9 not a female, so I'll need to get an adapter. Because of that I had to try out ADTPro's bootstrapping via cassette...

    Latest acquisition: //c plus THREE IIgs and more!

    Any reason you couldn't just use it over the serial port as though your modern desktop were a terminal connected by serial to the machine? Then you could have whatever font you want. It's not like there's anything special it couldn't transmit except maybe graphical characters, but that should...

    Latest acquisition: //c plus THREE IIgs and more!

    Can the expansion cards access all of the normal system memory? If so, you could certainly access the video ram directly. Otherwise, why not just use an sram chip with another avr microcontroller to copy video memory into and just have the ATmega 328 read the sram for video data?

    Latest acquisition: //c plus THREE IIgs and more!

    Making an add-in card to replace the onboard video out and having it read the video portion of the ram makes more sense than trying to capture the output frame by frame. Perhaps it could be done by combining this idea on the web: http://neil.franklin.ch/Projects/SoftVGA/ with a way to read the...

    Latest acquisition: //c plus THREE IIgs and more!

    Is it possible to easily modify or add circuitry to make some kind of digital sync signal for the monitor? Any chance an IC analog to digital (ADC) converter might suffice?

    Classilla 9.1

    Just for curiousity's sake, can Classila even be run on a 6100 with it's original cpu? If so, is MacOS 9 the only OS version it will run on?

    Latest acquisition: //c plus THREE IIgs and more!

    Number 018 http://www.faqs.org/faqs/apple2/faq/part16/ The fact that they suggest passing it through a VCR to use its "stablilization logic" suggests that the Apple II's composite video output is less than perfect for input to modern TVs. It is possible that the video circuit was designed...

    Latest acquisition: //c plus THREE IIgs and more!

    Would it be fair to say that the TV is not at fault but rather the messy output of the computer? Maybe using an RF converter would produce better results.

    New Retro Computing Magazine!!

    Sounds good to me, couldn't get the first due to being too busy to notice it had gone out of print. Might miss the second due to monetary shortage by way of outlay to buy an Apple IIe, but I'm glad to hear that it's going well enough to consider a second issue. I hope to be able to buy a copy...

    iBook Dual USB Hell

    What does the metal shield touch? Maybe if it only needs to touch certain parts you could mask the rest with electrical tape and see if that works? You might also try sticking a clean sheet of paper in there between the shield and the logic board. Paper is non-conductive and it's combustion...

    Network Games for Apple II?

    If you use a software/hardware clock, you could keep track of time. Using that you could handle the following scenario: T=Time, C=Computer (1/2), A=Action Taken R=Receive new coordinates,S=Send new coordinates,WA=Wait defined number of seconds T C A 0 1 S(0,1) -- at time 0, computer 1, send...

    Network Games for Apple II?

    I don't know if you noticed my post earlier, but I recently purchased an apple IIe so hopefully in a little more than a week (I wish it were less) that should reach me. Really looking forward to it, I'll have to try out your single player snake game. :)

    Network Games for Apple II?

    Is there a reason you can't write a program that will check the cassette port and signal the SSC? Maybe the program could send data to cassette line that were indicative of the network activity. Your trying to prevent collisions during serial communications, right?

    Network Games for Apple II?

    I was proposing something along the lines of a software interrupt based on the input on the cassette line. I don't know much about the computer or whether it can handle that quickly enough, it's just an idea.

    Facebook Lite has been dropped/abandoned, so no point there really.
