Having both The Golden Orchard CD and The TABBS CD, I can assure all Apple II and IIgs users that they both contain a wealth of Apple II/IIgs programs, graphics, music, information and a multitude of fantastic archives of great interest and value to any Apple II and IIgs user. Apple Pugetsound Program Library Exchange ( ) is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its User Group founding by releasing the following Apple II Related CD-Rom Books: See the Apple II CD-ROM Info resource file R014CDROMIN.

That all depends on your system and/or your bank account, but for making MP3s a CD-ROM that does dae (digital audio extraction) is a must. The speed of dae is sometimes related to, but not always correlated to the speed of your CD-ROM (i.e. Just because your 24x is faster than my 8x DOESN'T mean that either one does dae any faster than 1x)

This is a symbol marking a combined portion. On some occasions this portion is combined with the preceeding or following portion, rather than being read on its own.

The term CD-ROM is used for all types of usage of a CD in computer applications. A CD-ROM can contain various filesystems (like ISO-9660, Joliet, Apple HFS, Unix, etc.) or programs for a wide variety of computer systems (Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, Linux, Free BSD, Solaris, BeOS, etc.). A CD-ROM that was made for one particular operating system, cannot be used on another system. There is no such thing as the "CD-ROM system".

Especially for beginners, a user group is an absolute golden of software, information, and bargain hardware. Several Apple II users groups continue to meet, especially in major cities and on university campi. If a local group listing is 'missing' from your phone book, check for a Mac users group-- a number of Apple II groups have merged with their Mac counterparts.

You can peruse the newsgroup FAQs Q&A Contents page. You can also check out the Apple II Major Sites page (Csa21MAIN3.txt). All Apple II's come with some version of BASIC installed in-ROM on the motherboard. The original Apple II's have Integer BASIC. Starting with the II+ model, all Apple II's have floating-point Applesoft BASIC in ROM. Owners of early Apple II's can load in Applesoft or plug in a card with Applesoft ROMs.

The most popular 8-bit Apple II emus are AppleWin and Apple Oasis, which run under PC Windows, and Apple-PC, which runs under PC DOS and includes support for Mockingboard sound. These programs can turn your PC into an enhanced Apple //e running at least as fast as the real thing using software from virtual disks (disk image files). There are also 8-bit Apple II emus for Macs (one, Catakig, emulates a II, II+, or IIe) and Amiga (Apple 2000).

A memory map for a 128k Apple II along with related soft-switch, etc. information is available as FAQs resource file R032MMAP128.TXT. Transferring Applesoft programs on an Apple II to QBASIC, GW-BASIC, etc. on the PC is mainly a matter of moving a text copy of the program to the PC. (To make a text copy of an Apple II program, you LIST the program to a Text file. See Q&A 017 above.) On the PC, you bring the A2 program text into your BASIC editor.

o- Sellers of original and second-hand software (See ads on the comp.sys.apple2.marketplace newsgroup and sites, like KulaSoft, A2Central.com, and Shareware Solutions II.) Also check the Apple II FAQs Vendor listings: o- Regular posters to this newsgroup will often send diskettes with some utilities and games for the cost of diskettes and mailing. o- Apple II archives maintain large collections of software which you can download via PC and transfer to your Apple II.

A good start is a series of fantasy game articles published, mainly, in the August through November 1999 issues of GS WorldView and since added to from time to. These are now interlinked for easy perusal. The articles cover 1990's through early 2000's interactive fantasy competition releases, Infocom's Lost Treasures I and II, a 'missing Lost Treasure', plus some more recent Zork series releases. Coverage includes brief descriptions plus download links.

SimpliCD Software by Oak Technology can use the Plextor CD-RW drive as a source to record CD+G discs to the hard drive as an image file, and then record the image back to a blank disc in the Plextor CD-RW drive. There are also other third party commercial software packages available that support CD+G authoring/recording with single drive systems.

RAMFast, Apple, or other SCSI interface card. The Slot in which the card is located must be set to "Your Card" (e.g. via the Control Panel). Note 1: Today, SCSI devices normally expect that a "termination voltage" will be supplied by the SCSI interface card. RamFAST does this; but, most other cards do not.

Compact disk recording opens up many possibilities. Obviously, archiving software is one of them. Another is being able to record audio. In my studio, I've placed a lot of important material on analog tape; and, unlike the diskette situation, there is no doubt of the imminent danger of degradation. Burning the audio to CD would maintain the original quality, with the added bonus of random access. CDR also opens up business opportunities.

How: By far, the easiest and quickest way is to access software sites on the net using a PC or Mac. Files can be moved to and from your Apple II via a NULL modem connection with the net computer. If you use a Mac, you may have the option of transferring the files via a ProDOS or HFS diskette or an HFS Zip disk. (For details on hardware, file transfers, downloading, and uploading, see the Telecom-1 and Telecom-2 Q&A.) Where: Today, most users upload software, info files, etc.

Interesting bit of info: about a year and 1/2 ago, i was touring Sculptured Software in Salt Lake City, UT. I had just finished talking to the Mortal Kombat team and was rounding a corner, passing some offices and i noticed a name on the door, "Peter Ward". I instantly thought, "NO WAY!". There was a guy in the office and i said, "Are you Peter Ward???!!" Him: <slight pause> "Wow. You are the ONLY person i've ever met that knew that.

Try Microwave by Jim Nitchals and Jay Zimmerman. Jim worked on sound drivers with Steve Hales (primarily for the Mac) under the company name Halestorm. The company and its technology was later sold to Thomas Dolby's Headspace.

Yes. There is a way for some PCs to read Apple II DOS 3.3 and ProDOS 5.25" floppies which are not copy-protected. By "some PCs" I mean that the PC must have two floppy drives (only one has to be a 5.25" drive) and it must be running MS-DOS or Windows 95, 98, or ME. (It won't work with NT, 2000, and XP). You also need a program called "DISK2FDI". (For a link to the program, see Csa21MAIN4.txt.) DISK2FDI reads the Apple floppy and creates a disk image (.do) on the PC.

The CD ROM version costs a little bit more but it has some advantages if you need to re-install because you don't have to download the program again. The CD also contains all the word lists, so you don't have to download these, either. Everything else is the same on the downloaded version and the CD ROM version.

this time, PlayFirst does not provide our games in any form other than the downloadable installer. However, we are always examining different purchase options, so please check back often or sign up for our mailing list. This could be because the game was previously installed and played on your computer, and was uninstalled. Please purchase the game from our site to play the full version.

I have a such a program at home. It's called QSO Kid. It requires a IIgs, and from what little I've used it, it seems like a really good program. This is more likely to be an issue for ProDOS-8 programs. The main problem under ProDOS-8 is with programs that insist on referring to devices by unit number (or slot and drive). Network volumes do not have a unit number. Another issue is with filenames.

For the 128k Enhanced //e and //c series, the ones which come to mind are GEOS, Quark's Catalyst, and MouseDesk (aka Apple II Desktop). GEOS was probably the most popular of the three although it never reached the popularity it gained on the C64 platform. The downside with GEOS is that it isn't ProDOS compatible. So, you are stuck with only using the GEOS compatible programs (GeoPublish, GeoCalc, GeoWrite,....) Catalyst and MouseDesk are both very similar.
