    Yep. I used to subscribe to this publication when it was available. The magazine editions where the best and when they changed to the newspaper style, things started to go downhill. I remember, they didn't last long afterwards. great source for removing copy protection. Ahh, the good old days when you bought a box of floppy discs and wondered what am I going to do with 10 of these?

    Good luck with the keyboard. I found I had to replace keys that had problems and ones with broken pegs were impossible to fix.

    Power supply. I need to replace the caps on my IIGS board and probably should do my original IIe and IIe clone as well.

    I listen to the open apple podcast regularly and they recommend this site for power supplies: https://www.ultimateapple2.com/catalogzen155a/index.php?main_page=down_for_maintenance

    however, the site is down for maintenance right now, but this could be what you need. otherwise, you could look on ebay.

    I missed run #3 by 48 hours so when they became available again, I preordered 2. Great card. super fast and easy to work with. I have one in my IIGS and will put one in my IIe. If you guys get a chance to grab one, jump on it.

    I only wish that the Transwarp GS wasn't limited and the price was out of this world. Just as expensive as the original ones. I hope they bring those back and cheaper.

    I'm running Hatari 1.9.0 on my windows 64 bit machine. the emulator seems to run fine, but I can't get the image of Oids to run. How do I open a disk image from the emulator? I see disk A and disk B, but I can't open an image with them. do you double click on the disk A? I try and open A disk drive nothing happens. the same with B. I did get something to work as the FTL screen started but the emulator but then the system says an panic bus error and the emulator pauses. I click on the floppy drives, and I see the disk light change color but nothing seems to work.

    I would just like to get the game Oids to run. Any suggestions? I was at this page: http://oldguygaming.com/oids.

    Is the image of oids bad? Is it the emulator? I've even tried running this from a dos command. same issues.

    Thanks.

    Yea, I'd have to agree. They're not cheap anymore, and I got mine back in 1998 for $50 including the monitor and stand. Make sure you run the self test on the system. To start the test both the closed and the open Apple keys must be pressed during boot. It is also possible to press the closed apple while pressing the CONTROL-OPEN APPLE-RESET keys to start the test at any time.

    you want a response of SYSTEM OK once it's finished.

    Check that the case and keys aren't badly yellowed. this will effect cost price since it's possible to rewhiten the case and keys, but it's a pain in the butt. Make sure you get the proper power supply forit as well. I've seen them sold with the wrong power supply or the "brick" transformer is missing.

    Good luck.

    you could go to a local plastics store and see if they can make one for you. We have a local place called Industrial Plastics and they can usually just about make anything out of plastic. If you got a picture and had access to a 3d printer, you maybe able to make one for yourself. I"m thinking of getting a 3D printer soon. they're coming down in price.

    I've had mine boot up after 30+ years as well. Just keep them cool and dry. I've had a couple that did attempt to boot but would then crap out. The only ones I'm concerned about are my original Apple II box games. I still have all the ones I purchased way back when.

    I wanted one since they came out back in '86. Finally bought one and 2 3.5" and 5.25" floppies for it. Bought a mac monitor for it but the video signal on the IIGS is different. So I got an orginal GS monitor. My system would not read or recognize the 3.5" floppies. But my Mac classic did. I had to replace a chip on the main board board since my socket for it was cracked. Got it working perfectly.

    Make sure you replace any leaking electronic caps and for sure, cut that battery off the board and replace it with one that you can replace. I've seen too many IIGS's ruined with battery leakage. Look at getting a CFAA3000. they are great. I also upgraded my RAM to 4 megs. Now just to get a Applied Engineering Phazor sound card for it.

    ADTPRO is prefect for transferring images.
