OT: Trying to recover from major FU by the registrar for wilserv.com
|
| |
Hi!
The registrar for my site "wilserv.com" has made a MAJOR error. I
just renewed "wilserv.com" for another year but during the renewal
process they lost my list of forwarding addresses so all email to me
for the past unknown number hours has been lost. Not having a backup
for the list didn't help. So, if you've sent me an email during the... more »

Update to ApplesoftMod
|
| |
ApplesoftMod is a plugin for the popular game Minecraft that enables gamers to play with an emulated Apple //e inside the minecraft world. The actual emulator is Jace in disguise. Lately I've been tweaking the behavior of how timeouts are handled to make it a little more lenient. I've also added a new command /aload which loads a basic program for you so that you don't have to type it in. This is a convenience feature since editing inside of Minecraft, while possible, is a royal pain in the neck.... more »

Hardcover Addison-Wesley GS Programming books
|
| |
Hi everyone,
Due to a move into yet a smaller place than the last time I moved, and a new baby on the way, I'm getting rid of some of the bulkier things.
Just wondering if anyone is interested in buying those hardcover books anymore.
They are in storage at the moment, but it won't take much for me to get them out. Not sure if I have the whole set or not, but I think I do. If there's interest, I'll list the titles and we can sort things out from there.... more »

mass storage for Apple //c
|
| |
So I've been playing around with the (relatively new) VDRIVE component of the ADTPro package. It lets you access a ProDOS disk image of whatever size, called "Virtual.po" in the "disks" folder of a computer running the ADTPro server software.
But it works over serial, so you don't need an Uthernet card or whatever, only a USB-to-RS232 cable. You just run VSDRIVE from BASIC.SYSTEM and then the disk image mounts as S2D1. You can CAT,S2 and go to town.... more »

Zephyr - a casual review
|
| |
I finally got around to playing Zephyr tonight. While it has some novel technical features, including audio speech and the almost never used in games double hi-res black and white mode, the game design is vague and the whole thing feels randomish and elusive.
Your ship flies endlessly forward over the planet's surface. Moving up and down changes your height above the ground, and moving left and right rolls the vista correspondingly, ala Buck Rogers. Also like in Buck Rogers, there is a finite play area. Move too far left or right you won't be able to go any further, though it's easy to not notice you're at or near the edge since the barricade is transparent. Both the top of screen radar or the numerical 'Sector' readout are more helpful than your eyes in this regard.... more »

Trackstar Software
|
| |
Hi, I'm looking for the most recent Trackstar software available.
So far, the highest revision I've personally seen is 1.2 that came bundled with a Trackstar Plus 2.0 board upgraded to a Trackstar E by Diamond.
However, I've seen references to 1.3, 1.5 and possibly 1.8 (the latter was from an ambiguous and somewhat unreliable source). If you have the time, please check your disks and if you find something newer, let me know. Thanks in advance.... more »

MacGate Revival
|
| |
Hello, all. I am new to the group and have only been working with Apple 2's since January. Hopefully this is the right place to post this.
Anyway, I am working with a IIGS connected to A2SERVER using the supplied VM. Thanks to Geoff I got localtalk working through a Farallon PN848.
I found some older code for MacGate and have managed to update the code to the point that it compiles cleanly and runs in the VM (Ubuntu with kernel 3.5.0). MacGate is supposed to be an appletalk to TCP/IP gateway and/or router.... more »

Looking for anyone who knows the actual release date for the Novation CAT acoustic modem. This is NOT the Apple-CAT II direct connect modem that came out in 1981, this is the acoustic one that was not only sold by Novation directly but was also rebranded for Atari, TI, Tandy, and others (including Apple).... more »

Raspberry PI board on Revolution
|
| |
This Monday's Episode of Revolution exhibited a scene
where (no good at names) the chunky guy with the beard
pulls apart a Mac SE and rips out some boards, none of
which are inside a Mac SE, and one of them is the RPi.
I paused it, having it recorded on DVR, and grabbed my
RPi to compare and sho'nuff, that is what it was. Cool!... more »
