flashbackmatt Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Greetings Apple II sub-forum. After years of keeping an eye out locally for a IIGS, and failing, I finally got one off of shopgoodwill.com. I'm waiting for an ADB keyboard to get here from eBay so I can do more than just power it up Also took a chance on an untested Platinum IIE, other than some scuffs and yellowing it seems to work, too. That one I can at least play some cassette games off of WAV files. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashbackmatt Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Wash me! That is next on my list. I'm out of cans of compressed air, and I don't want to ESD anything by using a vacuum cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Nice. Is that the 1.5MB RAM card or one of the later 4MB ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashbackmatt Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Nice. Is that the 1.5MB RAM card or one of the later 4MB ones? I'm not sure, I don't have a keyboard for it, yet. I have a NOS Design keyboard on the way. Is there a way to tell just by looking at the card itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashbackmatt Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 The IIGS had a SuperSonic Digitizer card, and the IIE a Digicard D-NET card installed. I pulled both of them out. Since I will mostly be playing games and tinkering with programming, I'm not sure if either of them are useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Digicard D-NET card won't give you much, but the SuperSonic is a stereo card as well as a digitizer (the digitizer is the daughter-board plugged into the SuperSonic). If you want stereo sound/music from your games (and who doesn't!?), I would suggest at least using the SuperSonic (with or without the daughter digitizer card). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I didn't realize that it was playback also, thought it was just capture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
