Well, the RetroBaud has now officially been retired. I had a lot of fun (after the frustration) getting it going - but even more fun BBS'ing once it was up. I also enjoyed getting me Apple IIe card going in my LC475 despite not being able to get the BBS running on it. I was a bit MIA for the...

Well, heres a quite bit I wrote up on my final solution - feel free to ask any questions. Whilst I would have preferred to have my Warp6 BBS running on my LC 475’s //e card, I was forced to run it on my XP workstation under the KEGS emulator due to Warp6’s incompatibility with the //e card...

Hi Scott, Definitely check out the FAQ that Charlieman mentions - it will be invaluable - but I thought I'd just share my thoughts on one of your more subjective questions - is it better than a real IIe. I used to own a real enhanced IIe many many years ago and it was relatively tricked out...

Thanks guys. Yeah, good call about getting some pics etc and a bit more of a description around some of the app stuff - I will definitely do that. Also, the current state of game play is (in order of who's winning) Micro Bandit - LUDDITE, URBANCAMO, ARFINK, GAVO, WGOODF RPS - LUDDITE...

Nice!! How are you connecting the GS to the UNIX shell?

Boomshanka!! The RetroBaud BBS is now online at telnet : retrobaud.dyndns.org Those of you who have no specific Winter Warm Up 09 Challenge - you do now. Get online and see if you can get the high scores! After a bit of mucking around (I discovered two of the doors werent working remotely), I...

Greetings. First, I have to say that I'm well impressed with the other RC entries - I've been checking the blogs and theres some impressive stuff going on. I think at the moment my favorite thing is the retrosketch - i think there could be a market for something like that... Anyway, I havent...

Yeah, I have been thinking about another package, the only thing about that is that I wont be able to run my Warp6 games (although they are applesoft basic so perhaps could be converted to run with Proline). The games arent much, but they were created by myself and some friends a _long_ time...

Bugger. After reading some more of the Warp6 documentation (i know - crazy!) it seems that its never going to run on my LCe unless I somehow get the Apple IIe card on the LC to support "vertical blanking" or rewrite Warp6 not to require it (there is no chance I'll be able to do either of those...

Well, I am still considering my options today... I have found the source code for Warp6 2.5 posted on the internet which I have downloaded but am yet to get onto an Apple II. I will need to decode it, then unshrinkit it, then get it onto a GS with the proper development environment set up (this...

So although playing all those old games I used to love on something that more closely represents a real apple II than an emulator on a PC is indeed great fun, I quickly discover that not all my disks have survived the last 20 years in storage (although a surprising number do seem to have) and so...

Urg - Jan 1 is not a great day to start the challenge ;-) Having said that, I didnt have a big night - although being old(er) makes up for it - drink half as much to get twice the hang over... Anyway, got back from the beach a couple of hours ago and decided to avoid the Sun for a little bit...

Righto, so I've entered the Winter Warm Up 09 and dont have one of those new flanged blog things. As such, here is my Pseudo blog - I will post my progress (or lack thereof) in this thread for your reading pleasure (haha). I know its not Jan 09 yet, but here is the description of my challenge as...

From memory we did use Netware for RPL, but that may have been because we were already using it for our Windows environment. I have a vauge recolection that Sonic provided a Mac based app to provide this, but I cant be sure.

From memory, Win95 was supported by MS, but support was dropped in Win95 OSR2. Win98 was not supported. We did it with Win95 and Netware (using the VLM redirectors - not the native MS Client for Netware/NDS) - I think I've still got the doco we developed for our solution somewhere about...

Is the destination Mac a Mac Classic or something else? Doesnt a Mac classic have a "Super Drive" that is capable of reading MSDOS formatted 1.44MB floppies? If so, then I think you need the "Apple File Exchange" application (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_Exchange) which once run up...

Funnily enough I do actually own a complete Apple IIe card (including box and manual!) and a compatible 5.25" drive :) I havent powered it up as of yet, but do intend to install it into my LC475 eventually - problem is, I lose my ethernet in the 475 when I do it, and to be honest, although...

Cheers for that - does indeed look like it will fit the bill - had a quick play with it last night.

Hi, I've not really been playing with my old Apple II stuff, but am going to try and spend a bit more time on it. I was just wondering what the view was on the best IIe emulator out there at the moment. The capabilities I most want out of an emulator would be - Windows based (sorry 'bout that)...

Wow. This question triggered some long forgotten memories! I used to work in a student computer lab where we wanted to do just this. We had a mix of LCIII's and (new) PowerMac 6100's. We did in fact get this to work using "The Diskless Mac" from Sonic Systems - which was essentially a boot ROM...
