I am impressed you can repair and troubleshoot these ancient computers. Must be a labor of love. I still have my commodore sitting around in my attic. Ahh, memories.
The world is a harsh place right now. Every time I read the news or even just go online, the current events in the world either horrify me or make me want to cry. Things are really bad. And then there's Retro Recipes which, without fail, is an absolute delight. It's always both fun and educational, the subject matter is near and dear to my heart, and Peri, Lady, Ashley, and Puppy are all wonderfully charming. Thanks for doing what you do. I'm going to go become a patron now. It's long overdue.
@@black_squall I'd rather be upset by reality and exhausted from working to make things better than have my head buried in the right-wing propaganda echo chamber and blindly supporting an authoritarian man-child who's an obvious puppet to a hostile foreign dictator. For all its challenges, I sleep well at night knowing I'm on the right side of history and won't have to make stammering, uncomfortable excuses when I'm old and younger generations ask where I stood at this pivotal moment in history. But hey, you do you. Thanks for your "concern".
I wasn't going to watch this but when I noticed Lady Fractic was making an appearance I had to check it out. She's too easy on the eyes to ignore. Not to mention the eee ooo sound effects! Lol
Ok... Confirmed: my favorite YT channel. Guilty dogs, squeeky sonuds, PCB Ways, good music, Lady “repair wizard” fractic, Ashley and soooo much going on.
Playing Frogger w/Mum... rofl. Nice fix Lady F. Excellent squeeky screw sfx everyone. Definitely "emew". Your computer room looks really colorful and excellent. Excellent video, once again.
@@saganandroid4175 I think most of us enjoy the channel regardless but like the variety it adds to the content. Brought to you by PCBWay, and we all know PCB stands for Perfect Channel Balance.
You should make a video repairing, cleaning, etc some old hardware with no talking, only tools and brush sounds. Very ASMR. That said, it was great to see Ladyfractic doing some work on old hardware. Awesome video!
I was thinking "must be the heads that have not lifted or something" - always a relief when it's something as easily fixed as write protect sticker. Glue and plastic tend to cause a lot of problems as age sets in.
I played the heck out of that Frogger port on my Apple II+. It was one of the few games I had because back then, my software choices were limited to whatever I was able to copy from my friends. I did manage to build up a decent game library, though, most of which still works today! 👍
Brings back great memories of when I repaired Apples and Commodores. I used the alignment disk and the hertz wheel on the disk drives. The hertz wheel worked best with a fluorescent lamp that I kept on my workbench. Another winning video. ; )
I just LOVE that you involve your dog as you doo, the PUPPY FRACTIC!! watching this episode with my puppy DEX!! - (and he really looks at the screen..:) and you have a lovely LADY FRACTIC wife too!
Thanks for the video. I still have my original Apple II. Back in the day, it took over two years for the "WOW factor" to subside. Which for me meant that every single day for over two years I was totally obsessed with the Apple II. I literally spent 6-8 hours per day sitting in front of it discovering what it could do, or playing games, or programming, etc. It was a bottomless pit...lol
Well, live and learn. I use computers since the 80s and first time I heard of calibrating a floppy drive. Thank you very much. I have to say you two are quickly becoming my favorite retro hardware channel. Intelligent, funny, relaxed and easy on the eye. (it never hurts). 14:52 I bought this product a few years ago, thinking it would be great for showing items when doing videos. POS. Fun video. And yes I know I have fallen behind.
Scottch tape....i want one of those wire brushes, palease. Ooooh, beauty and mad skills. Killer Kombo..(yep, still working through your catalog of vids)
awesome. yeah I always adjusted via the timing marks with a fluorescent light. BTW if you want to use Locksmith to create copies then you should tune your drive down to about 280rpm instead of 299. The slower rotation rate allows time for writing longer tracks, and lots of disks were copy-protected by writing tracks that were longer than could be written at 300rpm. 280rpm-written disks will still read fine in a 300rpm-calibrated drive.
I'm loving the new, "Dynamic"; The regular addition of Puppyfractic and Ladyfractic make your shows un-missable, "Must-See-TV"! Good job! ... oh, and thanks! :-) xo
Well done! Great show! But now you're just messin wit me! NO WATCH?!?! I'm sticking with the clone theory as a clone might require some sort of wireless information exchange to convince us that she was indeed Ladyfractic! Seriously, good show. We got drama (sad when Puppyfractic was guilty, happy when it wasn't his fault ; sad when floppy was damaged, happy when it was just the wright protect), education (differences between belt and rubberband; emoo / cow, emu / bird, and emew /cat; contact cleaner and contact lens cleaner; bottoms up and bottoms down) and maintenance information (calibration with screen or moving bars). I always enjoy. Thank you. JT
As an Australian, I feel as though I have the authority to make a ruling on the pronunciation of 'Emu'. I have to say that Perifractic pronunciation is correct, but we still love Ladyfractic anyway. :)
In America we also say Emu (ee-myou) as Perifractic. Not sure where she learned how to say it (ee-moo) lol. When I was a kid I worked in a safari (at an amusement park) where the emu would come up and try to steal the disposable cameras as I was reading the Bible. lol
I just pick up from a local person a working apple iic, monitor and printer for $250. I pretty good price. And I thought I bet RR could help me figure out how to get some games on this great machine. Love your show :). And voila! Not sure how I missed this video as I am sure I have watched most of them. thanks again :)
The rights holders have asked me not to make my archive available as it is still their intellectual property. I can share how I got it working. Thanks also to Dan Wood and John McDermott. 1. Download the Workbench 1.3 LHA from WHDLoad official site. Note this is just a wrapper and doesn’t include WB itself. 2. Extract the LHA on a real Amiga or UAE, copy your working Workbench 1.3 entire file system into it, then archive it all back to LHA format. 3. Edit the xml file that you extracted onto your USB drive from RGL website and add Workbench there with a name that matches the Workbench LHA. See other entries in the xml for the correct format. Programs must be in there to work. Hope this helps! Perifractic
I think I don't speak for only myself when I say "we'd like to see more bloopers!" 😁 Awesome video once again. Lady Fractic really adds some extra flavours to the recepodes. It's fun to see this kind video making. Keep up the awesome work. I'll keep watching the awesome work! 😁 👍🏼
I traded my Disk 2's for 1/2 height teac direct drives, when I had an Apple 2+... also had a zip chip & cider 20MEGABYTE hard disk... Ran it until I needed to upgrade for college courses I was taking. Then I got an Amiga 2000hd.... didn't run windows until 1998 :)
Nice bass screw.. but the silent screw didn't want to stay silent going back in....odd. Also the 80s.. back when you could use the same two screwdrivers for everything... even your Apple.... and ahh.. the sweet sound of Apple II frogger music... Also the last game makes it pretty clear that the apple had to use its cpu to toggle a bit to make the sounds.
When I first found out that I could download games from the Internet to an Apple //e via my iPhone and an audio cable, Frogger was the first game I tried. Thank you for the USB-Serial link. ADTPro over the audio interface is neat, but it sure is slow.
Another thing! Man, those multi-colored Amstrad disks in the Amstrad sleeves bring back memories! My first clone was a PC1512DD (upgraded to 640k). I had those disks. I used to love GEM Desktop. Coming from a Color Computer 2, the Amstrad was an impressive step up! I had other upgrades to it as well, of course. My next machine was a 486 that I built, and I sold the Amstrad! I wish I still had it! :(
@@RetroRecipes At least you have the disks! I hope to find one one day again as well. I had a 40 meg IDE hard card installed, 2400 baud modem, and MediaVision Thunderboard. I was too cool for school 😎
@@RetroRecipes I had a thunk today. There are so many places to say how you like X and want X more. And i'd love to here you doing more description work on netflix. Would you know where i can do this? Yes i am visually impaired You can see me on my YT channel even tho the videos are old (i can no longer tell when im in focus so i stopped until i can get a cataract fixed to bring back what little i vision i can use)
Also with the contact cleaner I like how you didn't say it is WD40. That is just because it is easy for someone to make the mistake of trying to use the penetrating oil they are more known for. That might make a mess and even cause damage to a lot of things. I wonder how well that contact cleaner compares to DeoxIt.
Dead worm? You'll regret that! Fun and informative, I loved it - even the silent screw. ;) Oh, and there seems to be something wrong with your transporter beam at 13:11 :D
You can replace the write protect tape with almost any other tape, it will work just as well. A good tape to use would be black duct tape or even better a foil tape just for that extra bit of stability in the tab.
To the penalty box you go for using the Atari 400 as an Apple disk drive stand! For shame, Good Sir, for shame! I'm now recalling memories of my small K-8 school district having a mix of Disk Drive IIs, the later 5 1/4" white-ish disk drives, and the Duo Disks. They all had the official 80-column cards and later 128K RAM upgrades, but nothing cool like the Super Serial Card. The monitors were a mix of green screens and color monitors. They were all Apple IIe models except for the front office which had a //c to input and save the daily attendance records. I certainly preferred them to the computer lab full of Trash-80s at the local community college which ran a youth "computer summer school" program devoid of anything remotely resembling fun.
Lady Sainty Fractic is positively radiant with her Elvis quiffy doo. Could this mean Bebe Fractic is more than just a twinkle in his/hers/its father Fractics eye? 🤔
used to work in ComputerLand and sold computers as well as repaired them. I would check the timing of those drives when you replace belts...there can be some drift from the correct setting. Just an idea! ok, just heard on the video and that you were going to calibrate.
great love the channel and dude just between you and me incase you hadn't noticed, ladyfractic is not just smart she's a real hotty, back to a more serious note I really enjoy watching the pair of you repairing and using these wonderful old machines I've been using computers and playing video games since the seventies so you bring all those memories flooding back thank you both and just keep doing what you do.
Thank you so much. It means a great deal to hear from you. So glad you like what we're doing. Nostalgia for the win! 🕹️🎉 And thanks for pointing out her hotness; I hadn't noticed 😉

The first time I heard lady fractic "eee ooo" sound, my depression was cured !
I reckon Ashleyfractic snuck in and broke it, as revenge for you calling her nuts and causing global warming in her Wallmart 😄
I literally just watched this for the sound effects
Can someone make one of those 10 hour videos of just that bit on a loop please...?

Puppyfractic may just be the most adorable pooch ever - she seems to have such a friendly disposision.
She's very special. Such a personality!
Ladyfractic is such a good sport. I enjoyed this video; hadn't seen inside a Disk II, didn't know about Blitzkrieg, or the speed calibration.
I was thinking "must be the heads that have not lifted or something" - always a relief when it's something as easily fixed as write protect sticker. Glue and plastic tend to cause a lot of problems as age sets in.
It's like papa always said:
Get a girl who will make sound effects in regular life.

great love the channel and dude just between you and me incase you hadn't noticed, ladyfractic is not just smart she's a real hotty, back to a more serious note I really enjoy watching the pair of you repairing and using these wonderful old machines I've been using computers and playing video games since the seventies so you bring all those memories flooding back thank you both and just keep doing what you do.
Thank you so much. It means a great deal to hear from you. So glad you like what we're doing. Nostalgia for the win! 🕹️🎉 And thanks for pointing out her hotness; I hadn't noticed 😉
you owe poor puppyfractic a doggy treat for blaming him for what happened to your disk drive. or give him to me lol
If Ladyfractic allowed her nails to grow she could be a hand model. She has lovely and delicate looking hands.
Actually she has done some hand modeling for commercials you have likely seen 😊
