Yep, with a flash of inspiration, I found it via... google! I've been able to play it, but loading it on and running it from my Compact Flash faux-Profile (via BOS) ends up with a Pascal stack overflow. At least it runs from floppy. The graphics make use of programmable character sets - so...

gavo - I have a real Apple III. Where did you find the software? Can I download it from somewhere?

It's a tough slog, especially if it's the first time through. But Sather lays bare all the secrets of Woz's wonder machine. Some of the hardware later than the ][ and ][+ emulate or replicate the behavior of the earlier machines in LSI chips; but the first ones have it all laid out in discrete...

A handful of 74LS* chips. Sather's "Understanding the Apple II" would probably help here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/201423/Understanding-the-Apple-II-by-Jim-Sather-1983Quality-Software

Soft switches have a hardware component: there is circuitry that reacts to particular address lines being tickled. That's why things like peek can affect them from BASIC.

You need all string variables. 10 home 20 input "What state do you live in?";a$ 30 if a$="Ohio" then goto 50 40 if a$<>"Ohio" then goto 10 50 input "Correct! Type 'next' for the next question.";b$ 60 if b$="next" then goto 70 70 home 80 input "What month is this?";c$ 90 if c$="February"...

Or, you could send DOS in via the serial port, a la: http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/bootstrap.html#Bootstrapping_DOS

Flip it over, unscrew the screws. See: http://www.pcworld.com/article/143520-3/anatomy_of_an_icon_inside_the_apple_iic.html

Where did you get your disk image from?

It will say "Apple IIc" in some form or another at the top of the screen, and try to boot the floppy disk. Finding no disk, it will complain and hang. Yes and no... Yes. You can hit ctrl-reset and get into BASIC stored in ROM. You'll be in the typical interpreted BASIC of the era. No disk...

Sure, any of the telecommunications programs of the day had file transfer features. i.e. http://www.dataswamp.net/apple2eserialterm/index.php I find it easier to just use ADTPro to transfer a RAM disk image to the PC, copy files to the image with CiderPress, then transfer it back to the GS...

Some options for you: http://www.welovemacs.com/acc-6000.html http://apple2.info/wiki/index.php?title=Floppy_Drives#3.5_in._Drives You may well need to dismantle the drive further to get at the heads and give them a cleaning with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol, if you elect not to get an...

Not all ProDOS disks are bootable. Even if formatted correctly, unless they have files named PRODOS and BASIC.SYSTEM on them, they won't get past the "not a startup disk" screen. Mount a few in the mac and see if any have those files. If so, try to boot them in the IIgs. If _that_ doesn't...

It's not the easiest thing getting a 3.5" drive hooked to an IIe. There's a page that lists some of the different compatibility notes for various types of Apple drives here: http://www.vintagemacworld.com/drives.html Your controller (Liron or Superdrive) will dictate the kinds of drives you...

You'll find some general information here: http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2FDRIVE.html

Mike Willegal has some replacement switches for the older-style PSU. I bought one for my ailing II (non-plus)... http://www.willegal.net/appleii/forsale/appleii-forsale.htm

The thing I like about the IIe, especially the platinum one, is that it's got the most contemporary/up-to-date componentry possible (in the traditional II form factor). There's not a lot that can/does go wrong with them. The II and II+ machines generally need some TLC to keep running -...

You'll see. Once you get the bug, you'll never quit collecting. Start cleaning out closet space now...

Oh, no - that's cheating!!!
