Just a friendly reminder that as an inanimate object, the Apple II cannot contract COVID-19. Further to this, it is not capable of having political opinions or affiliations, and shouldn't be capable of influencing you to annoy your fellow Apple II enthusiasts with Republican or Democratic propaganda.

As moderators we have a low tolerance for thisMore sort of thing. Try it, and your post will be deleted. Try our patience by doing it repeatedly, and your membership will be deleted.

Play nice kids, and remember if it's not Apple II related, post it on your own timeline!

Can somebody help me? I remember reading that somebody with an Apple //c+ model replaced their ZIP chip with a 65c802 processor and it runs well, even in acceleration mode. Just want confirmation I read/remembered correctly... 😅

Looking for help with my Booti. It seems to go into the "C" menu just fine, but when I select a *.2mb (Total Replay) and then press "X" to exit and boot, it crashes to the IIgs monitor as shown. It also has aMore steady red light on the actual card itself, is this an indication of trouble or normal operation? I've included a picture of my control panel card settings - do I have that set right or? I'm running it on a ROM 01 Apple IIgs.

EDIT: I've tried the other HDV/2mg files, including Nox Archaist as well as a generic Games disk image. None of them work.

EDIT 2: I've tried the Booti card on a different Apple IIe and I get a similar crash to monitor, see the pic with "Apple ][" at the top.… More

Good news, everybody!
Some of you may remember SmartportSD, by Robert Justice and Andrea Ottaviani (http://www.users.on.net/~rjustice/SmartportCFA/SmartportSD.htm). For those that don't, it's a little ArduinoMore program that turns an Arduino and an SD card into a SmartPort hard drive emulator. It's a very cheap alternative to other storage solutions if you happen to already have an Arduino and an SD socket hanging around. It had a couple limitations I didn't like, though: Images had to be written to the card as raw data, not as files, and they were fixed at 32MB in length.
I set out to solve those issues, and now I have! This new and improved version accepts up to four image files of arbitrary… More

For those of you running a BBS, what software are you using? I seem to remember I found a 32mb image once that had bbs software pre-installed/setup but I can't find it anywhere. Lost it before I had time to check it out. Regardless, if you are running one or have set a BBS up in the past, I'd really appreciate any help along those lines. IMore would love to get it going. I have one of those devices that lets you even have dial up via a google phone number and a network connection so I can use the modem I have and have actual dial-up which is what I plan to do.

Forgive the newbie question but what is the easiest method for getting .do disk files converted to 5.25" floppy for my //gs? I have downloaded the .do files on my OSX Mac. Do I need to buy one of the SD card readers for the //gs?
