and as a side note the //c came BEFORE the enhanced //e. It was because of the //c that they came out with the "enhanced" //e. I always thought that was an oxymoron since the e in the //e name meant enhanced in the first place, since it was improvement, or "enhanced", beyond what the II+ was...

Yeah I saw that thread. It looked like a simple way to check up on CSA2 and some of the other groups I read if Google Groups goes down, which it has done from time to time. I've also looked over your site in general and like the looks of it. When will you be posting the Apple II stuff on there...

Yeah I tend to hang around most of the Apple II forums that I've been able to find. A lot of good discussions, sometimes some stupid spam, and I like the people I've met through the different forums. It's also helped broaden my knowledge of the Apple II world. What do you go by on there, since...

Here's another possibility for you: http://www.appleoldies.ca/kix/index.htm it's Bill Buckles KYAN Pascal page. Part of the stuff there is a KIX shell that adds several UNIX like features to PRODOS. Just my two cents worth, Dean

the previous two post are a perfect example of what the topic of this thread is about. So it hasn't been 20 years since people quit backing data up to floppies. His point was that some times people screw up and it's bad form to jump on them for it, which is exactly what you two did. The whole...

The Mark Twain was a last hurrah from the Apple II division to keep the II competitive. Apple stayed with Steve Jobs vision and saw the future in the Mac and didn't care about the II line any more, so there was no worry on their part about competition between the two platforms. Dean

Yes it would work, as long as you use the same color cable on each end you'll get the composite video from the IIc to your TV. Dean

Unfortunately, at least as far as I know, there is no way to transfer a .NIB image back to an Apple II and turn it into a real disk again. Theoretically you could try using Saltine's Super Transcopy, which will create .NIB images, to turn the .NIB into an image you can transfer but I haven't...

obviously, [:D] ]'> but that size makes it fairly easy to use in most places. And if you notice I did say "just about anywhere". [:)] ]'>

You might be interested in checking this out: http://www.iigs.dreamhost.com/bitbybit/ He's gone on to trying to turn the SMB stuff into a toolset for the GS that people can use to write their own games. Dean

To answer your question on the "size" of the IIc it is 11 1/2 inches wide by 12 inches long by 2 1/4 inches high. So it should fit just about anywhere. You'll want to put the carry handle, on the rear, down so that it is propped up. That way you'll get air flow underneath to help keep it cool. Dean

Another possibility: since you say you can get into the Control Panel go to the Control Panel and select Slots, look at the Startup Slot setting and make sure it either says Scan or 5, which is the Slot for the 3.5 drives. If it doesn't say Scan or 5 change it with the arrow keys to one of those...

Were you able to fix the problem with your copy of King's Quest disk 1? Which version of King's Quest is that and where did you download it from? You might be able to find another copy of it somewhere else on the web that will transfer successfully. Dean

The easiest way to do it, so that you understand what you're doing, is to simply put the Disk II controller card in Slot 6 in your GS and then switch Slot 6 in the Control Panel to "Your Card" and set the startup slot to slot 6, if all you're going to be doing is running software from the 5.25...

He won't have any conflicts with anything in the GS as long as he goes to the control panel and sets slot 6 to "Your Card" so that it will check the slot to see what is in there. Also if he sets the Startup Slot to 6 then it will automatically boot from the Disk II drive that he has hooked up to...

Go ahead and put it in slot 6 and then go to the control panel and set slot 6 to "Your Card", then make sure you set the Startup to slot 6 as well. If you try using it in any other slot your programs may not boot up since the software expects to boot from slot 6. Dean

Yeah, I think your right, I did forget that. It's been a while since I actually used a disk II controller card in my GS. [:)] ]'> Dean

Press Control-Open Apple-Escape, all at the same time. Use the up arrow key to highlight "Control Panel" and press return. When you see the Control Panel use the arrow key to move up to "Slots" and press return. Look at the bottom of the screen to see which slot is set as the "Startup" slot. If...

Would you happen to remember what SVE stood for? That might help in the search for their programs. There is an "educational" folder on the Asimov archive site, you might go look there, if you haven't already. Dean

Congratulations! Welcome to the wonderful world of transferring Apple II disk images! Now you can enjoy running Apple II/IIGS programs on the REAL hardware again instead of an emulator. Dean
