I am looking for a troubleshooting guide web site or similar resource. Or
maybe someone here can help?
In a nutshell, I turn on the Apple IIe and drive 1 spins and the drive
light comes on, but does not read any bootable disks. On the display the
screen reads: Apple ][
I have a number of boot disks so I don't think the disks are all bad. I
have checked the cables and the drive card. I have swapped out the drive
card with another that works. I have swapped cables and they seem OK.
How do I diagnose the condition of this computer?
Is there an internal diagnostic? (key combinations?)
What's wrong typically when a disk drive spins but nothing happens?
Playing around with key combinations I found that control+clear
apple+filled apple+reset brings me to a prompt of some kind, but I do not
know what I can do from this prompt.
I have no manuals.
I would be happy to send a set of digital pictures to anyone interested in
helping.
Please email comments to billdeg(a)degnanco.com - thanks!

Well, the main part is the Acorn MOS (Machine Operating System), and to
that you can add various filing systems: DFS is the single-density
floppy disc non-hierarchical Disc Filing System, ADFS is the
double-density floppy/hard disc hierarchical Advanced Disc Filing
System, NFS is the Network Filing System, you can guess what ANFS
stands for, TFS is the Telesoftware Filing System (for software
broadcast as teletext), ...
You could also get the UCSD p-System From SofTech/TDi.
For the Torch Z-80, there was CPN, a CP/M lookalike.

Yes, it does. It gives my Amazon associate account whatever small commission. I am in the process of rebuilding all of my links to computer history related books from Amazon and for abebooks.com. This small commission in no way costs the buyer any more, and my desire to share the great deal on a great book was sincere. Sorry if I offended anyone, though frankly I can't see why it matters - you don't have to buy the book. Best, David Greelish, classiccomputing.com
Brilliant! Just as the previous 'talking to the press' thread has vanished
>from my classiccmp folder after I thought 'I won't need that' one of the
broadsheets want to talk to me about collecting and collectables!
Can anyone give me a precis of the previous thread before I go search the
archives?
Thanks!

yup.. ANSI 8" interface
I was VERY happy someone outbid me on it when I discovered what
it was..
If someone has a paper copy of the X3.101 spec, i'd like to add
it to the archives on spies.
It appears to be based on the Shugart/Quantum 8" drive standard
but on a single 50 pin connector instead of a 50 and 26.

Jack, do you mean you don't want the 1000E/2113B
CPU and it's available? If so, let's talk.

Greetings all;
Couple weeks ago I started a thread asking about how you chaps (and
ladies) moved big hardware.
I ended up going out on a limb when it came to picking up and moving an
IBM System/34 some 500 miles homewards, and using only a pickup truck,
some strapping, winches and a pair of ramps.
I can now say that it was a resounding success, it went out without a
hitch pretty much.
Most of the details can be found at my webpage, with significant
thumbnails of the process and the booty (Of the treasure kind).

Thanks all for input;
JP
