I worked on mapper today. I’m hoping to have it finished this weekend or early next week.
I tend to move around my apartment and work on different computers, depending on what I’m doing or what is going on.
My Apple //c, desktop and Windows laptop live in the living room. My Linux laptop lives up stairs in my bedroom.
If the living room is busy or noisy, I’ll work upstairs on my laptop. I use a working disk image and move it from machine to machine as I move around.
Every time I use ADTPro I think to myself what and amazing system it is. Being able to copy files from the modern world to the vintage world in a relatively painless way is truly amazing. It is so nice to be able to work on my laptop using AppleWin and then move it over to my Apple //c and see it in action where it was meant to be. To be able to create listings and printouts on the printer that was meant for it.
Yesterday, I added a page on Useful Modern Hardware for the Apple II. I covered what I knew of displays and storage. I know there are other options for both of those. I’ve seen some smaller display options, but never the specifics of them. What I’d really like to see is a modern option for printing.

well … printing text is a serial option so you can dump it back to your PC as a text file, graphics not so easy as its its own language.
If you want any help with your software projects please ask, I am always itching to whip out some basic
I agree, you could connect the apple to a pc using a serial cable and some terminal software. Then print on the Apple and recieve text on the terminal software and print the result. I was thinking of a modern printer that might work with the Apple II.
Infact I helped on a book where the author typed the book on his Apple //e with some text codes imbedded in the book. He would send copies of the disks to us, we would set up an Apple //c with a cable to a typesetter and print the book in this same fashion. The type setter used a table to convert the text codes to typesetting codes.
