Folder Peek for #macOS behaves very much like Transprog III (Seven Hills Software) for the Apple IIGS.

It's so incredibly useful to be able to access commonly used folders right from the menu bar. (I only wish I could assign those favorite folders from within the app, like I could in Transprog III. FolderPeek points to an Alias folder you set up.) #appleIIGS #folderpeek

Playing a bit of Leisure Suit Larry tonight... this here is the Apple IIGS version on ScummVM. The soundtrack's pretty nice! 😉

I got an eBay hit on a TransWarp GS card for (relatively) cheap (https://www.ebay.com/itm/267258221830)! It's being sold by The Byte Shop (https://byteshop.io/), a Boston-area vintage computer museum/repair shop, and a very cool place!

Wait, this is "For Parts or Repair Only," what's going on ... ? Ah. Crap. The listing is very honest. A previous owner has made a terrible hash of the traces to the CPU socket.

Anyone else brave enough to try this?

Prior to last year, I didn't even know that there had been a Dungeon Master release for the Apple IIgs. In looking through the files, it turns out it had a special "Kid Dungeon" mode? Was that always part of the game, or is it something specific to this edition?

Just before the Easter weekend, I received the replacement #SCSI card from the very kind eBay seller. I updated them to know it had arrived in good order, but that I wasn't going to be able to try it out for a few days because of guests and festivities.

But I got around to it. AND I INSTALLED IT THE RIGHT WAY 'ROUND THIS TIME.

(I'm never going to forget that I did that ...)

Further updates on my continuing adventures in blowing up a SCSI card. The seller received the card I fried and sent this message a few days ago:

"It's good you sent it back. It blew the ROM, the SCSI controller IC, and two of the five logic IC's. I repaired it, and put it in my own computer since I don't want any unseen damage I may have missed to cause you issues later."

The card is due to arrive this week, at no additional charge to me, because they're a nice person.

Hey what’s in the box? Well. It’s what it says it is. An Apple 3.5 drive for the #appleiigs in absolutely beautiful shape. And it works! #appleii.

Finally added a battery holder to my #appleiigs. It’s been driving me nuts to constantly change my slots every time I want to use it.

Well, it turns out that it doesn't matter that my BlueSCSI is due to arrive today, because I went and installed the CIRTECH SCSI card in my IIgs and it let out the magic smoke.

I put it into Slot 7, made sure it was seated, then switched on the computer. There was a weird crackle, a puff of sweet-smelling smoke escaped from the card, and the computer shut down.

So, I had missed this because it came out a few months after I finished my Apple IIgs project, but the venerable CiderPress disk editor has a brand new edition and it's real, real nice

I thought I'd try getting my Apple IIgs to boot from AppleTalk today.

So far, I have netatalk setup which gets the IIgs booted and am able to login to the share I created.

I copied the contents of a IIgs hard drive image I found to that share, hoping it will just boot from that. But I'm getting this error:

"Cannot load file Start.GS.OS Error=$0046"

Any ideas?

Listening to some tracker tunes on the Apple IIgs, as one does.

Does anyone know if there is a timelord/tardis client for the Apple IIgs?

Or, an NTP client for the Apple IIgs that runs with the Marinetti TCP/IP stack?

It bugs me that the time on my IIgs is off by an hour! And yes, I can manually update it, but it would be nice if it could happen automatically 😁

@lymang As I state on my list page, the Apple IIgs and Amiga 2000 were the two favorites of all of the computers I've owned.

And that's saying a lot.

Played a bit on the IIgs before bed. I'd never tried CrystalQuest before. It is unreasonably hard to pilot your ship to the level exit in this game. This game reminds me so much of (may have been?) BBS-download shareware.

Yesssssssss ...
