Apple ][ + but no Floppies - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

I think those paddles were 100 K-ohm pots!

Be careful!

I hope to one day have all my stuff set up so that i could easily answer
just such a request myself. I wonder if any of those disks (system esp.) and manual
are copyright and
if Apple cares. Anyone know if Apple still can provide?

OTOH you know a lot of the old software doesn't need another floppy with
DOS etc. on it to run. You boot from the "game" disc and its all on that
disc. The system discs are for utilities, formatting new floppies, etc. 
I have found 1 game disk that will boot the machine and play several
"Racing" games but I also don't have paddles (pinouts and parts anyone???)
aren't paddles just 100ohm pots?

I want to do some programming in BASIC on a simpler machine than my laptop.
I have an emulator too is there a way to copy the images from the emulator
to the real machine?

Thanks all!
