I had a chance today to try the CFFA in a
Laser 128ex, plugging it into the side of
the computer, as slot 7. I used the
CF I've been using in my //e, so it was
already formatted and set up to run, and
it worked very well! I didn't have a chance
to see how it would work formatting a new
CF, but the card does seem to be compatible
with this computer.

Hi!

I acquired a Microtech PCD-47. That's a SCSI reader/writer that can accept Compact Flash, SmartMedia and PCMCIA cards. I found that it will work with an Apple DMA SCSI card but that it will not work with an Apple revision "C" card or with a long RAMFast card.

I will be running my CFFA card in an Apple IIGS ROM-01 machine with 2 3.5" drives and an AE RAM card populated to 1MB (Looks like an 8MB card).

The "Max" IIe

Postby gsmcporet » Sat Dec 17, 2005 4:59 pm

Hi Rich and All,

Well, the "Max" IIe project is underway. An Enhanced IIe board, CFFA Card with 64Meg in Slot 7, a Sprint Disk Accelerator Card in Slot 1, a Ram Works III fully loaded in Slot 2, a Super Serial II Card for the ImageWriter II Printer in Slot 4, an Input / Output card for the 5 1/4"Duo-Disk Drive in Slot 5, and a 3.5" Drive Controller Card in Slot 6.

I am waiting on the 3.5" Controller Card right now. You know how hard a working one is to come by. lol

I have one flash card for Prodos and one for dos.

I plan on switching out the CFFA card for testing each of the II's, II Plusses, IIe's, and IIgs's that I am rebuilding.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Apple II It's Alive!

My Apple ][ Collection...

Postby Alejandro Cordero » Wed Feb 01, 2006 12:44 am

Hi Rich and all you guys there... (Great Forum by the way)

I got my first Apple //e when I was at grammar school, a gift from my parents. From there it's been all Apple (and Mac of course) for me.

I have had several Apples but right now I have these ones:

1 Apple //+ with original Disk ][
2 Apple //e (Rom 1) the beige with monochrome monitors
1 Apple //e Platinum (enhanced //e) in mint condition with original color //e monitor.
1 Apple //c in excellent shape with no yellowing (still looking for a //c+)
1 Rom 1 Woz Edition Apple //gs
1 Rom 3 Apple //gs
1 beige 2.52 Duodisk
2 Platinum Single 5.25 drives
4 Platinum 3.5 drives
1 AE RamWorks (installed on the //e)
1 AE GSRam Ultra (installed on my Rom 3 //gs)
Several other cards, mouse cards, Z-80, I/O, Serial, Parallel, AE Clock, GraphiPrint, etc.
Joysticks, Keypads, //e System Saver and lots of original Apple // disks. Two Imagewriter // printers in almost mint condition and 3 Imagewriter LQ. Too big to have them out of the storage room!
I even have a great Color Classic (575 upgraded) with an Apple //e card that works beautifully...

I have a vast collection of other Apple and Macintosh products but we'll leave that for later...

I have collected these for years but in my first attempt to raise some money to buy my first Mac (many years ago) I sold everything I had... Shame on me! The biggest mistake I have made so far (concerning computers, of course!) ;)

I sold both my //es, my //c and my //gs with and Audio Animator, a GS Ram Ultra, a PC Transporter, the //e with the Ramworks, etc...

The bad thing is that I lost track of the persons who bought my stuff at that moment so I couldn't get them back. The nice thing is that I have been "finding" scattered pieces around. I recently found almost my whole collection of disks, my name was still on the stickers and this guy was about to trash them because they took a lot of space in his laboratory.

I am starting to put everything back in shape. So far I have modified a non working drive to convert it into an excellent "disk cleaning system". You put a little cotton, a drop of alcohol, pop in a dirty disk and viola! A clean disk free of mildew and dirt. Now I need to clean the rest of the 500 disks!

I found this site while searching for some info on an Apple // card and think is great. I also think everyone here has great stuff and that we should upload some pictures of our systems to share with everyone here. I'll try to put in shape some of my stuff and link some pictures...

Thanks!
Alejandro Cordero

It's a 1 GB, or greater, CF world.

Postby tom » Tue Apr 18, 2006 9:07 am

Rich,

Just a note about my delayed response. I relocated to Florida, downsized the house (hobby space) and this is the first time I've been able to think about setting up my Apple II. I ordered the CFFA about a year ago. I traded my first Apple II for a IBM PC when the PCs first came out. (Because I thought I would never have an Apple II again I gave away all the software I wrote. Ouch!) I now have two Apple IIes and a ROM1 and a ROM3 GS they I bought off ebay for little more than the price of shipping a few years back. Your CFFA has given new life to running the Apple II. Thanks!

I initally ran the CFFA (with vbriel's Double.DOS image) in my ROM3 GS in place of a Focus 740mb HD. But the reason I got the CFFA was to run in my IIe.
Apple IIe: Applied Eng RamworksII 1MB and Apple monochrome monitor (planning on replacing this with composite ->XGA monitor)

- Z80 1MHz
- Apple Super Serial
-
- Disk Interface Card
- IO Controller
-
- CFFA Run 3 v1.4 with 48M/128/256 Sandisks

Rich,

It is getting difficult to find "small" CFs such as 128M. Any thoughts about bank selecting (8x128MB) on a 1GB CF? Just about all of the Apple II world could be stored in that one little bottle.

Darth Vader II Project

Postby gsmcporet » Mon Jun 18, 2007 6:24 pm

Hi Rich and All,

Well, a new year... a new project. This is a Bell and Howell Apple II+ with all the bells and whistles.

It has the Audio / Visual package attached. Which has been temporarily removed for cleaning, etc. including the keyboard. The keyboard was completely cleaned, key by key. The pan has been stripped of all rust and grime and given a new interior coat of Haze Gray paint.

This one still has the back plane, so it's getting a good cleaning too.

- Installed 32k memory card
- An accelerator card
- A 1 meg memory card
- Serial II card
- 5.25 Controller card
- 3.5 Controller card
- CFFA card

I'm taking my time with it, although it's just about ready for reassembly and testing.

I'll let you know how it's coming.

New Year...New Stuff!!

Postby gsmcporet » Sat May 10, 2008 6:40 pm

Hi Rich and all,

Well the Max IIe and Darth Vader projects are complete and tested. The new build is a IIgs (1 Meg,ROM 3) with the following so far:

- 4 Meg RAM in Memory Slot
- CFFA Card with 128 Meg in Slot Seven
- 5.25 Disk Controller in Slot Six
- 3.5 Disk Drive from Port 5
- Slot 4 Empty at this time
- Slot 3 Empty
- 56K Modem from port 2
- Slot 1 Empty at this time

I am considering going up to GSE Reactive and getting a faster CPU. I have also been starting to delve into the world of Disk Images. I now have Cider Press, but have to print out the manual so I can start learning how to download programs from different sites and convert them for use. I received your e-mail tday about shipment Rich. I hope Run 6 is just as popular with everyone as it is with me. Heres to the next one.

Best Regards,
Steven (gsmcporet) :)
