I spent time looking for some BBS software for the Apple II. By time, I mean I spent several hours. Most of the systems I found had little or no documentation. Without the documentation I will be lost. So far, I…

A Strange Connection
I got to thinking today about something I did the other day. When I created the simple startup program for my /PRODOSWRITER disk, I wrote the original version on my laptop using AppleWin. When it was done I used ZLink…
More Diskettes Arrive, Amazing Customer Service
Today I received my next order of diskettes, a box of 5 1/4″ diskettes. They came in a bubble envelope and when I opened the envelope the top of the box was slightly crushed. It was a sealed box so I…
Simple Startup, Part 1A
While working on yesterdays program and post I found a need to include a listing. This brings up two problems. My printer is among the missing, as I moved a few years ago and it got separated from my Apple…
Simple Startup, Part 1
When using my /PRODOSWRITER disk, I found it a little tedious to startup either AppleWorks or the System Utilities programs. The path to start them is twenty one characters long. This is not much but in this day and age…
Odds and Ends
Yesterday, I received the first of my orders of diskettes, a box of 3 1/2″. Today I put together some new project diskettes. I created a new work diskette for ADTPro and another copy of my writers diskette with AppleWorks…

Apple //c as a Terminal, Part 2

Apple //c as a Terminal, Part 1A
Today I didn’t have a lot of time for this project. I got tied up with a Windows network problem instead. I have a mix of Windows 7 and Windows XP machines and they have decided not to play nice.…
Apple //c as a Terminal, Part 1
I downloaded a copy of ZLink. It’s a communications program for the Apple II. I remember it used to work fairly well. I swapped laptops in my docking station, so I could try using the Apple //c as a terminal…
