A channel about nothing and everything. I do a lot of different things and have many experiences that I don't mind sharing. The channel isn't about right nor wrong but what is. I've not done any editing as you can tell but as time allows that will change. Quality will go up.

Every time we go to Austin Tx we stop in New Orleans and on one of these trips I decided to visit. Here is a very small sampling of that visit. It's not heavy on vehicles but a lot of personal items and their stories. Well worth the money and time.

As most of you can tell I'm not a pro at video nor photography, that's my younger brother BUT I can teach myself. I've learned that it might be the shutter speed that I need to adjust so I did. Please let me know if It worked. Thanks!

It's a brand new complex in Austin and he's the first person to live in his apartment. We're very proud of the life he's making out for himself in the Great state of Texas.
Apple IIGS ram disk boot shutdown and boot up. Fast.
มุมมอง 14014 วันที่ผ่านมา
Yes it's fast BUT it's a ram boot disk which dies when the power is off. I'm not inclined to keep my nearly 40 year old machine running all of the time. Let me know what you think. If you like please press like and subscribe. It helps the channel grow.
2nd Apple IIGS 1.44 floppy drive addition. More problems to solve.
มุมมอง 275หลายเดือนก่อน
I sourced another Sony-f75 drive for the Apple IIGS. This allows me the satisfaction of not swapping out the boot disk to run most programs. The problem I faced was not connecting the new drive as per instruction which isn't intuitive as it should be. Drive 2 must be connected to the Apple II 3.5 Disk Drive Controller and then the Drive 1 must be connected to the back of Drive 2. Once I figured...
I just got my Sony f75w 1.44 Mac floppy drive in. Does it work with the Apple II controller card?

This floppy drive came in a perfectly packed boxed mailer with internal bubble wrap. Thanks Mike! I'm not doing a unrapping but only showing the basic elements of installing the drive and connecting it to the Apple II disk controller. You'll see the good and the bad of it. I'm not good at editing as you know so you'll see some mistakes along the way. The Apple 3.5 enclosure is a donor case from...
Apple IIGS SuperDrive controller card arrives.Is it dead on arrival?
มุมมอง 157หลายเดือนก่อน
I just got my new to me Apple II 3.5 drive controller card in the mail. Package is torn and battered. Will it work or is it dead? While I got a great deal it's not if it's destroyed in shipping because the seller cheaply shipped it.

How cool!
Cool video!
Really interesting!
Your next upgrade needs to be a modern hard drive replacement for the GS and really take advantage of that beast
The 3.5 floppy and I have a floppy emu . The is no speed difference for the emu though.
What kind of storage do you use to load GS/OS?
Sorry for the tardy response but I load from a 3.5 floppy BUT I could also use my floppy emu if I wanted to. When I get a chance I'm going to figure out how to use 14 meg of ram as a boot drive. Just haven't had the time to figure it out, yet.
I believe Apple in the day even made Finder a little smarter so you could drag a driver or cdev, etc onto the "System" folder in the root of that boot volume and it would automatically put the files you dragged into the correct place(s).
Honestly, I don't remember the finder at all.Funy w 37 years will allow you to forget things.
You should've connected the HDMI up. Also, you can now update the firmware to v10.😀
A nice way to see the speed difference between a stock and accelerated IIGS is to run NinjaForce's 2021 demo: "No Hard Feelings" (it even boots off a single 800K 3.5" floppy disk!). I'd also suggest looking at Silpheed, Alien Mind, Wolf 3D and Out of This World to see a notable difference between 2.6 MHz and 14 MHz. On a side note, is your AppleColor RGB display green tinted or is that just the light reflection? (I do remember green, grey and black picture-tubes used in them; the latter is most common).
Sorry for the very late reply. I had covid for a week. I think it's green to be honest. I've not been able to find much IIGS software to download yet.
Really nice to see the AppleSqueezer in action! Great video!!
Thanks Niek, It's a horrible video and I've got better that I'll post. Would love to chat with you are some point.
Even better smoke spot than my location
