Hi all,
I have had for some time in my collection some bare Apple II mother
boards. I would love to test these and see if thery are working, shouldn't
be a problem for two of them, but the third seems to be missing the Bios. I
believe this board to be a "clone", It has the Z80 mounted on board. How
many people where producing these boards?? Is there any chance of coming
across a BIOS chip for this M/Board?? If some one can provide me with the
contents of the Eprom I can burn it from a file and test it if necasary.
I'm also after info on mods to these motherboards. One of the boards
has a jumper from the keyboard conector to the NE558, and i'd love to know
what this does. Like wise i'd love to have info on the I.C. tester that was
available as a kit for the Apple. If anyone has details or knows where I
might be able to get hold of them feel free to inform me.
On A lighter note, I just won a Koala Graphics pad on Ebay to suit
my working machine. . I'm not sure how rare these things really are, but at
$30 Au couldn't resist the buy, figured even if this was a bit over priced
it will still be worth it. I've never been really big on Apples before, more
of a commodore man myself, But i'm finally getting around to cleaning up the
"Apple" section of the collection. Hopefully i'll be able to get hold of
even more interesting stuff on Ebay and other interesting places.......
