polyex Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Partially because I see other boards on here for other computers showing off, and partially because I really love my new clear case and want to show it off too... Reply with your setups! Right now running with A2Heaven FastChip //e , Mega Audio and a CFFA 3000, new ReactiveMicro power supply. The monitor is a prison monitor (clear) that I found on eBay. I wish it had speakers built in, but alas only a headphone jack. The Disk Drive you see under the laptop is actually hooked to the laptop via USB for Applesauce.

bluejay Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This is the best picture I have of my setup; but it’s a non enhanced IIe with printer, serial, floppy, and extended 80 column card with a DuoDisk drive and Apple Monitor II. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of printer do you use? Do you use the printer much? I have an ImageWriter gifted to me in a box but I have not hooked it up yet. I do remember liking to print code on continuous paper and draw lines with color markers to get a birds eye view of what was going on in the code, something I do not think I can do with a modern printer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap! Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Here's a pic of Dig Dug from November, 2018. Not really a good pic since you can't see my IIGS, but you sorta get the idea. I'll have to take a current pic of the entire setup. I use a 13" PVM with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just the card and not the printer. However, if I were to use a printer it would be a generic parallel port printer as that’s what the printer card accepts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zap! Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 As promised, here's two current pics of my IIGS. I had to put the PVM on the bottom, because it's two heavy (and slightly too wide). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fit of a Frankenstein as DF-2000 was not meant to run with v2.2 of ACOS , yet that's what I'm doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not order them as I think the clear case with the original keys looks cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might install them onto my other IIe that has a solid colour (standard) case and leave this one as-is. But if the keyboard feel is as good as they say... By the way...what have you got in slot 1 in your clear IIe? It's "clearly" (haw!) an A2Heaven card, but which one?

You can fine tune your speed, say for a game that is a little too slow at stock speed but would be unplayable at super high speed. Xevious is a really good example. I prefer being able to fine tune the speed to other accelerators that are all or none. I have had it for I think a couple of years and it has been bullet proof. You do need a little noodling to get basic to accelerate, but overall it is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papalapa Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Here's mine. The keyboard in front belongs to the iMac G4 (not in picture). My Apple IIe has the wDrive connected as you can see. It works like a charm, in fact I don't use floppies anymore... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have the Fastchip IIe in slot 1, what's in slot 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a qwerty keyboard, so by SAT rules it's a computer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-89_series#United_States 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
