  1. This is pretty cool.

    MS-DOS 2.0 on the Apple IIe (March 2026)

    An Apple II enthusiast ported MS-DOS 2.0 to an Apple IIe running an ALF AD8088 Plus 8088 card (a much simpler device than the PC Transporter) designed for CP/M-86.

    It boot, supports 80-columns, reads the clock, reads disk data from a shared ProDOS file on the IIe's hard disk.

    Stated plans from the author, Seth Kushniryk, include Super Serial and Uthernet II support as well as running CP/M-80 on MS-DOS on ProDOS with a V20 swapped in for the 8088.

  2. "Dialed" into the Mac Studio wirelessly across the room for some IRCing on old hardware, here as the snow falls. ❄️

    I had to modify the plist and shell config scripts I'd setup on the Mac since "upgrading" to macOS 26 Tahoe to get this working without gripes in the terminal.

  3. After some wild mathematical hat rendering yesterday, kicked off by @scruss and @paulrickards, I've got John Brooks' ridiculously optimized 10 line Applesoft BASIC program running on the IIe.

    (Time-lapse video; the hat takes about 9 minutes to render on the 1MHz IIe.)

  4. Supercon 2023: Building The Ultimate Apple IIe, Decades Later - The Apple II was launched in 1977, a full 47 years ago. The Apple IIe came out six... - hackaday.com/2024/05/14/superc #2023hackadaysupercon #hackadaycolumns #appleiie #how-to #megaii #apple #cons

  5. Back nearly to the beginnings for #MARCHintosh. Here a picture of our exhibition #AppleIIe with it's enormous disk drives. Btw.: We lack of an #AppleI until today 😂​

  6. It may sound crazy, but there was a time when #Apple computers and accessories could be repaired by the user. This is a story about how I fixed a Disk II drive without any electronics training. #VintageComputing #AppleIIe #AppleII #DiskII

  7. I decided to use my old #MacBook Air 2012 to copy software to the #AppleIIe via #ADTPro. There is, of course, another setback.

    Bootstrapping works perfectly, but when it comes time for the Mac to listen to the commands coming from the Apple IIe, nothing happens.

    🙄 I'll figure it out eventually.

  8. My #AppleIIe now has a disk ][ and a modern #ProDOS card 👏 I was an Apple II+ user back in the day, so I'm not familiar with ProDOS. But that's okay, I'm having a lot of fun learning a new (old 😁) OS.

  9. What better way to close out #Appril2 then with an #AppleIIe and Apple Joystick video!

    On this rainy Connecticut weekend, I unbox a new eBay find and take a stroll down Nostalgia Lane with a couple of retro games from the 1980s.

  10. Treated myself. My last Apple computer (IIe)
    And my new Apple computer. #apple #apple2e #appleiie #macbookpro

  11. I’ve seen some vintage Apple pictures on here and I just felt compelled to say playing with Beagle Bros software and anything connected to their branding and aesthetic brings back immense feelings of whimsy and joy. #AppleSoft #Apple #VintageApple #appleiie #BeagleBros
