Behold! A good book for a good computer!

I used to have the older version as a teen in the 80s and I have it as a PDF, but this is so much nicer. Spiral-bound computer books were cool.

Using software written in 2026 (by @colin_mcmillen) on a computer released in 1983 to extract digital photos from a digital camera released in 1994.

Apple QuickTake 200 connected via serial to my 128K enhanced Apple IIe (video output via composite to CRT and to LCD via VidHD video card) with "large" volumes mounted via CFFA3000 flash storage card.

The 640x480 camera images (JPEGs) are decoded and scaled for display in the double high-res graphics mode at 560x192 monochrome pixels. Just lovely.

One of the lovely prints by Melissa Barron that I brought home with me from INIT HELLO 2026. A portrait of an Apple IIe adorning my Apple IIe.

Original is acrylic on gessboard.

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.

"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.

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.)

The listing can be found here: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.apple2/c/Uc4EmM3xX88

Ripping my #jpn #tronares #soundtrack because I don’t want to mess up the delicate packaging. Is this version of the soundtrack a bit kitschy? Yes, but that’s why I dig it. I plan on storing it with the rest of my #commodore #atari #appleIIe floppies. :)

Completed reverse engineered Ninth Wave 512k memory expansion card for the Apple IIe.

I'm still not sure what the SEGA/SEGB/VC/GR logic is for, and why it's only present for bank 3 and not bank 0.

#rertrocomputing bubble:

My school has a working #AppleIIe which is doing nothing in storage after I've replaced the blown PSU caps in the past. Now comes the problem: The dual floppy disk drive (idk what it's exactly called) seems to be dead, just like some caps in the original apple monitor and the budget is, well, limited. But what could one do with it and limited budget? Oh, btw, all parts are in cosmetically perfect condition!
