El 1 de diciembre de 1981 Apple experimenta su primer producto “fracasado”, el Apple III, sucesor del Apple II y que por fallas en el hardware fue relanzado

I love that this monitor will sync with literally anything. #AppleIII #retrocomputing

@blakespot I have a TTL RGB card in the IIe - Taxan Video-7 80 column/64k card (model 410-64) . It's very similar to but not identical to the Apple-branded RGB Video-7 80 column card that was released in 1984 which also uses the aux slot. Both of these cards' connector are very close to the Apple III RGB connector, so are able to use a
JCM Universal Apple RGB Adapter by @MuseumJoe to connect to a CGA monitor (see the link for details about the adapter). Bought it before I found the CM-5 and I've been happy about how well it works.

Vediamo il passato a tinte rosa, ma anche il mondo del #retro ha avuto i suoi fallimenti. Dall'#AppleIII al #Plus4, dal #VirtualBoy all'#effetto #Osborne fino al #CASIO #Loopy, stereotipo con la console intorno

Yay, saw (fabled) Apple /// today in Wroclaw's Museum of Games and Computers gikme.pl . Yes, the one which run SOS (which Billy G's gang laid over their CP/M knockoff and sold as DOS3).

I've been listening to the podcast archive lately so I knew what was I looking at.

Was my first run in with Commodores too..

Oh, and you can play various games and systems! Even got a run on Centipiede ( by Dona Bailey)🤘😁

Here some more appearances for older Apple computers. The first episode of "The Midnight Club" has a Macintosh Classic and there are Apple IIes in the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode "Broken Promises". Finally, an episode of "The Littlest Hobo" has a couple of rarities: an Apple III and an Apple Lisa.

Ilonka uses a Mac Classic in "The Midnight Club".Fitz uses an pair of Apple IIes in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.".An Apple III gets used as a glorified keyboard in "The Littlest Hobo".An Apple Lisa is used for scientific research in "The Littlest Hobo".

Apple III Slows Down to Smell the Roses

The most collectible items in the realm of vintage computers often weren't the most popular of their era. Quite the opposite, in fact. Generally the more desireable systems were market failures when they first launched, and are now sought out because of a newly-appreciated quirk or simply because the fact that they weren't widely accepted means there's fewer of them. One of the retro computers falling into this category is the Apple III, which had fundamental hardware issues upon launch leading to a large recall and its overall commercial failure. [Ted] is trying to bring one of these devices back to life, though, by slowing its clock speed down to a crawl.

The CPU in these machines was a Synertek 6502 running at 1.8 MHz. With a machine that wouldn't boot, though, [Ted] replaced it with his own MCL65+, a purpose-built accelerator card based on the 600 MHz Teensy 4.1 microcontroller in order to debug the motherboard. The first problem was found in a ROM chip which prevented the computer loading anything from memory, but his solution wouldn't work at the system's higher clock speeds. To solve that problem [Ted] disabled the higher clock speed in hardware, restricting the system to 1 MHz and allowing it to finally boot.

So far there haven't been any issues running the computer at the slower speed, and it also helps keep the computer cooler and hopefully running longer as well, since the system won't get as hot or unstable. This isn't [Ted]'s first retrocomputing rodeo, either. His MCL chips have been featured in plenty of other computers like this Apple II which can run at a much faster rate than the original hardware thanks to the help of the modern microcontroller.

The Vendor Faire at @kansasfest was a lot of fun. Nice to see everyone out supporting their fellow enthusiasts!

@cr1901 A nearly unknown aspect of the Apple III design: there's a "Cheap Video"-like pseudo-DMA feature built into the motherboard. It's barely mentioned in the hardware manual. As far as I know, it was only used by the host adapter for the Apple Profile hard disk.
