It's a great exercise to help you learn Basic programming or to just see the differences disk I've spoken to you about a number of times. It's called "A2 to A3 Graphics" and is a disk that I started working on a long time ago. It's full of Applesoft Basic programs I've attempted to convert over to Apple /// Business Basic. Some with more s the Real Good Guys in the /// Community (more on John below). I've added a number of graphics to this disk, to make it easy for you to use the program.

BUDGET TIME It's that time of year for WAP and I've put in some requests for our SIG. Number one on the list is money to purchase a set of Titan ///+//e cards for our ///+ in the WAP office. Perhaps of more interest is a separate request I've made for $500.00 in seed money to use for an Apple /// software development fund. The number of people out there willing to write drivers or programs for our /// is growing steadily thinnere meetings, but could not survive without the WAP Magazine and the help of others." Then there's the inimitable Dr. Al Bloom (Blacksburg, Virginia). No stranger to these pages, Dr. Bloom has contributed many, many excellent programs to our PD (and thow little if anything about programming or other fancy stuff. But we do get the most out of the programs we use. So if this is helpful to you, it is OK by me." Eric also says "Keep up the good work.

I asked them to take on a rather big project atorage locker and I'll have to dig them up before we do anything." As I mentioned last month, if there were two upgrades that I would consider for a ///, the 512k upgrade, along with the Titan cards would rank one and two respectively. If you are at ay quickly. In fact he says, "even if we get the magic number it's going to be a problem getting the boards built as the PCB manufacture house that we used burnt down and all of our engineering films went down with it. I've got the masters somewhere in a sng project."). He does promise to work at finishing the program this summer IF nothing else comes up. Let's hope he does, as this is one program many of us would really like to see. Bob also says that orders for the 512k upgrade are not coming in verng for the //e side of our family and does not feel providing seed money would help at this time ("I can make 1-2 grand per week programming on the Apple //e but the /// market can't support the kind of money necessary to keep me programming a 2-3 month loard them to me. ON THREE I thought that one possible use for these funds might be to help push On Three's Bob Consorti to finish his GoBack harddisk backup utility program. He told me recently on CompuServe that he is finding much success programmiind of projects could this go for? Drivers for some of the newer printers (Apple or others) and for the Vitesse Quickie Scanner comes immediately to mind, as well as those new CD ROM drives (used with On Three's SCSI card). If you have others, please forwit started. I'm not sure if the WAP Board will approve all or part of the request, or if the other groups will participate. But I feel strongly that we need to try something to get some additional software developed for our ///. That said, what k. I hope to get other Apple /// groups (TAU and ATUNC primarily) to contribute to this fund as well. Together, we would decide on a project or projects that is of great interest to the /// Community and then use this fund to provide the seed money to get ere are more coming). Commenting about his expertise, he writes "... Mail List Manager and in Pascal Programming and in file and data conversion twixt the /// and other computers. In those areas I would have stacked myself up with anyone in the world. I would be happy to help where I can. I don't know how much I can help, what with my skills being dated and perhaps blunted, but I'd like to help." Robert Howe (Placerville, California) is a long-time friend of and contributor to our SIG and has been rive yet). And in a lot of ways, I find fooling around with a mouse a lot more trouble than it's worth. On the other hand, most of the problems appear to be with the ProDos 16 and GS/OS programs. The trusty ProDos 8 programs (which our Titan cad trouble would be an understatement. The Laser 3.5" drive appears to have trashed a number of the disks. I keep getting "Error = $0027" messages.

SOFTWARE GALORE /// SIGer and ATUNC Newsletter Editer long-time friend of our SIG, John Lomartire (Westport, Connecticut), writes "although I may not have the solution to all questions that might arise, I generally can do a bit of checking to see if the answer to the question can be found." It's nevera frequent caller into the TCS. His efforts to create a number of new "Best of ATUNC" PD disks will soon make their way into our PD. Even though he no longer owns a ///, he says he is "willing to have my name down as a reference." And finally, anothards run beautifully) run without a hitch. And my old Electrohome RGB monitor (that was designed for a ///) works on a GS. I'm even using the same cable (but some of the colors are a bit weird). Admittedly I still am in the middle of a learning curve here. John Ruffatto tells me the problem is definitely with the disk drives and I should get a "Platinum GS 3.5 drive." I'll do that, but would suggest that if YOU are interested in adding an Apple // to your family, I would spend the $300.00 and buip in their club (actually two clubs) is waning. Tom just got out of the hospital, having had a goodly part of his colon removed. We wish him well. AND INTRODUCING....

No complaints here. I'm just glad it's still showing up. A one year subscription is just $20.00. Bob Consorti announced that On Three now has a new line of hard disks, inwhich is what Ed Gooding's BBS runs on. But there are a few others, like SOSTRAN, that I would love to add to our PD. IF you are not on Sun's mailing list, I strongly suggest you make your move by calling them at 1-800-821-3221. ON THREE about some things they could do to continue supporting our ///. One thing I suggested was to place their old Apple /// software (programs they produced many years ago) into the public domain. They've already done that with a BBS program called INFONET, marketing, which is now going for little more than $300.00, including a monitor and disk drive! Sun finally came out with a catalog for the // side of the family in July and they have a number of good buys. I recently spoke with the folks at Sunpple-brand disk drives, despite the extra cost (buy them used at the garage sales). Stay tuned, though. I'll have further reports as I muddle my way through. SUN REMARKETING Of course the other alternative is to simply buy a used //e from Sun Rey the Titan cards from GR&D. Their phone number is 1-313-677-4122. And be sure to add a 65C02 CPU chip (JAMECO has them) to make it an "enhanced //e." That way, you'll be able to run practically every Apple // program out there. And I would stick with AJournal. Paul hails from Detroit and has been using a /// for just a couple of years. But he's sold on our SARA and has been setting up systems for businesses in the motor city. His first article (in this month's Journal) is about one way he's found to cool off his ///. It's an interesting means of handling a hot problem. See what you think. Paul has also been active on our TCS and had some comments recently that I wanted to pass along: I've been doing a lot of reading and research on MS-DOS 5) try squirting color tuner cleaner in the key, 3) try heating the connections with a soldering iron and remelt the connections. You can also replace it with one of the other less used keys, e.g. switch the solid apple key with the left shift key. I twn problems, with a shift key that didn't want to work. Dave Jernigan recently told him on the TCS that: There are three fixes I have heard about. First is to try blowing stuff out of the key with canned air (caution, most of that stuff kills ozone), 2n the H-14 Keyboard Encoder ROM chip. Tom Linders suggested that I lift the chip out and plug it back in. I did that but no go. So Tom promises to send a replacement chip and we'll see if that takes care of the problem. Tim Bouquet has had his oard to both! KEYBOARD PROBLEMS I've been working on one of Joe Dobrowolski's ///s, trying to get it working. Everything is fine save for the fact that three of the keys do NOT work. Even with a known-to-work keyboard. The problem seems to be ideals with the future of the Apple ///. The next one planned is about laser printers. Paul also says he's found a neat trick with the Panasonic KX-P1124 to get headline size text and complete control over almost all the options. I'll look forw twice as fast as a standard ][e, they might get upset! Paul IS working on more articles. He says the first is about how the /// stacks up against other computers that are still supported in today's market and even some NEW computers. It also firm in Detroit that changed from Wang+WordPerfect to Apple ///+EZP! People around here are shocked to know that I manage close to eight hundred files on the Apple ///, and have not lost one to date. PS: Don't tell everyone that a standard A3 is almost this week in a business that recently lost ALL its client information on an IBM clone, They are going with an A3 using Selector ///, DTM, and EZP. There are also a few people who are waiting for A3s locally. I should also send an article about the law M - On Three) and having the recipient change the name of their own MACRO.MAPS file and load the new one and let it do its work? Afterwards, they just change the file names back, or the macro could do that itself! I am going to be installing a new systemtests. Every test time was within one one-hundredth of a second! Yaaaaaay SARA!!! How's this for a neat idea, when you want to share a rather complex operation (like setting up new printer codes for EZP) how about sending it as a Macro Map (T file, and all the other files that would fit in to memory (including the text from a few books). This filled the memory to the point where I could not even type a single character into a file. The test was run again and the results compared to the other a test I have been using for a while to check speed. The test was first run with 398K free memory, then several times with more and more memory full. Finally the test was run with Selector ///, The Desktop Manager, Three EasyPieces, 140K RamDisk, the testbles is that the more memory that is in use, the slower the system runs. With this in mind, I thought I would do another infamous IBM/Apple /// comparison to see if SARA would bog-down under a heavy load like the "other" computers. First step was to run .0, it's pretty amusing to see 6 page ads boasting about increasing memory 45 to 65K, the reason, of course, is because applications on an IBM can only load into the lower 640K, no matter how many megabytes of memory you have. Another factor on IBM compatihink the keys are interchangeable with the ][ keys but check with someone before you buy one as a replacement for a /// key. Having replaced a number of keys, I can say that it is NOT an easy job, but it will work as a solution of last resort. If anyone needs a key, I have a keyboard I keep for just that purpose. Let me know. HELPING OTHERS While I'm talking about Tim Bouquet, let me add that he has been working with the Semaritan Ministry of St. Stephans Church in the District, helpinAbbey" style forum. Let's see ... My Apple /// left me and the kids and... The number is: (313) 332-2307. NEW DONATION A voice from the WAP /// SIG past called me in mid August with an offer I couldn't refuse.

Not sure how much Apple /// material will be available, but you might enjoy giving it a try. One thing he does plan to offer is a "Dear Note that you should be able to then format the disk and get no speed problems. This works best in an area with fluorescent lighting but if you have trouble seeing the pattern moving try adjusting the position and/or angle of the drive with respect to t speed is really off). Use your fingernail or a small screwdriver to turn the speed adjustment pot in one direction and note the change in the speed of the moving pattern. When the speed is correct the pattern should only be moving VERY slowly if at all.s and go to the device handling commands menu and verify the disk. The idea is to keep the disk spinning so you can see the flywheel moving. Note that the pattern on the flywheel will appear to rotate in one direction ever so slowly (or quite fast if the With that off you will see a small flywhel with a pattern on the bottom.

The Apple ///'s circuitry was apparently designed with serviceability as one of its more subtle features and thisfan must be tilted upward towards the back of the computer to allow enough space for the power supply itself, and the back of the cavity must be slotted for the fan's exhaust. These seven vertical slots are only about 2.5 inches long and are made between td to make better use of the available space (a couple of extra expansion slots would have been nice!). But I found the extra vertical space is just enough to mount an internal 3.5 inch fan in the back of the cavity. In order to accomplish this task, the eter than the D7T that sits on the right side of the desk. The Execution If you have ever removed the power supply from your Apple ///, you have probably noticed that the cavity is much larger than the power supply it contains. It could have been designeand even after being on for days at a time it remains almost cool to the touch. If you look in back you will not see a fan and there is none in the slot area. There also is no on/off switch for a fan. But if you listen you can hear something a little quiives, a modem, an RGB color monitor, a D7T (Turbo Sider), and a Profile for back-up, needless to say it generated a little heat. The solution is not obvious, but the results are. My system now is used seven days a week, sometimes for more than 16 hours, ting a fan on the back which, despite the noise, did a good job. My fan worked fine until I needed to use a few more slots, then things got tough! My current system runs with all the slots full and 512k of memory along with three printers, three floppy drve tried different ways to keep your Apple /// cool in the summer months, some don't mind their computer getting hot, and others do not keep theirs on long enough to be concerned. Some people who just can't leave well enough alone (like me!) have tried put owner it was discovered that the computer was installed, turned on and it remained on...for six years. That's one way to reduce the hot/cold cycle that is the cause of so many problems! Apple /// Heat Build Up, A Quiet, Permanent Solution Perhaps you ha the memory board was discolored or burned from the heat. One Apple /// I purchased was in such a condition. When it was opened the memory board was almost charred from the intense heat build up. I was amazed it still worked and upon calling the previous temperature rise of the component. In the Apple ///, this is what most frequently causes chips to work themselves loose from their sockets and it also causes components in the power supply to break down. I've worked on systems that had gotten so hot thatto the air with a greater surface-to-air exposure than the device alone would have, but when a heat sink has little or no air circulation, the air around it heats up to the point where less and less heat transfer to the air takes place, and the result is a was equipped with a massive aluminum heat sink for a chassis. It makes the computer so heavy that, unless you have strong legs, the Apple /// would not make a good laptop computer! Heat sinks work by absorbing heat from a device, then passing that heat ch means that as a part or object heats up, it also expands. Thus, in order to keep removable parts in place they must either be retained by a holding device, or the temperature fluctuations must be kept to a minimum. This is the reason that the Apple /// meant that parts, including memory and logic chips, could be easily swapped for trouble shooting and replacement. The problem for Apple was not the chip-in-a-socket design alone, but also heat buildup. All materials have thermal expansion properties, whihe present cooling fins in order to retain the Apple ///'s original appearance, and one internal horizontal slot between the power supply cavity and the expansion slot bay is needed for memory cooling. This should be about 3 inches by 1/4 inch. The fan is powered by connecting the fan leads to the incoming 110 volt AC, so there is NO extra load on the computer itself. The fan can be mounted by drilling two small holes above the fan in the top of the cavity. Now run a stiff wire through the bottom mountinghad an "old" Mattel Aquarius computer that she did not use. I figured I could get it cheap and see how it worked. After I bought the computer for $10.00, I caught the collecting bug. Over the past three years, I have gone from just a few computers to oout some computers that I had played with, but did not know they were important milestones in their day. At that time, I had about four computers. I have upgraded over the years and kept my old systems around. I remembered how a neighbor's daughter en I worked on an XT back in 1983, most XT users wondered how they could even come close to using all 640K. THE START After 7 years as a computer hobbyist, I started reading books on the history of the personal/home computer industry. I had read abcan hold it in my hands and delve into its guts. As we strive for faster and more powerful computers, we forget that at one time, each computer was considered "State of the Art." I can remember when 64K was a lot of memory. Then it went to 640K. Whs intersting to see how the designers decided to solve each problem. Plus, there is the historical importance of a computer. It is fun to own a computer that I have spent many years reading about. Instead of just seeing a picture of the computer, I hem. For me, computer collecting has nothing to do with the use or power of the computer. It is based on an interst in all computers and a wonder about how they all work. Each computer design tackles the same problems with different approaches. It' Computer Collecting By Timothy Swenson Most of the people I run into consider computer collecting rather odd. Most ask me how I can use that many computters or comment how obsolete the computers I collect are and wonder how I can tolerate using ts where the /// falls short in comparison to the less powerful Apple ][.

About the Author. Paul Campbell is a purchasing assistant in the medical field who also does sidework as a computer service/setup tech. An avid or temperature in the 90s and the Apple /// cruising happily along on a massive print job without even getting warm. And I can't even remember the last time I had a loose chip or connector. If you would like this modification done, but don't want to do it holes of the fan and up through the small holes in the chassis. I realize that this is an operation that many will hesitate to consider. But since its compleation I have not had to even think about the fan itself. I can go to bed at night with the indover 30. All are "orphaned" systems and were bought fairly cheap. Being an original Sinclair user, I specialized in the Sinclair line, but will buy almost any computer system as long as it is cheap. My main limit in a system is its physical size. I only have so much room in the "computer closet." I really enjoy the smaller home computers that spewed forth on the market. These odd-ball computers are fun to collect. It's fun to have the odd and unusual. WHERE TO BUY There are two key items to made years ago is to visit your local library. Most of their computer books are a few years old and will cover these "golden oldies." Try reading a book like "Fire in the Valley" about the early PC industry. There are some good buyer's guide books thatish systems that either never made it to the American market or failed miserably. Ones like Dragon, BBC Acorn, Jupiter Ace (built-in Forth instead of Basic) and SpectraVideo to name a few. A good way to become familier with what computer systems were I've been looking for two computers for a while now; a Sinclair ZX-80 (the first Sinclair) and a black Bell and Howell Apple II. I was lucky enough to find both at low ost. The ZX-80 was $5.00 and the B&H Apple was $15.00. Now I am aiming for a few Brit are fairly common, so if you do not get a good deal today, one will come around again. There are a few systems that are a little more rare and you might have to grab them when they come around. Then it's a matter of how much you want that computer. be a few who will try to get as much as they can for a system, but there are also those just trying to empty out the closet and make a few dollars to boot. The best thing to do is set your limit on what you would spend for a computer. Most computersts more, I really have to think about it. Remember, I'm aiming for quantity not usability. As you look for computers through these various sources, note how much people are asking. This will give you an idea of what systems cost. Granted there willputer there, but you have to sift through a lot of old clothes and brick-a-brack. If you have limited time on the weekends, focus on the Ham Fests. WHAT TO PAY For me, cost is important. I have set a limit of $50.00 per computer. If a computer cosy have around the house. Most will allow you to haggle them down. I've bought systems from an ASR-33 Teletype machine to an Apple ///. Here is where your best deals are found. Regular flea markets are not as good as Ham Fests. You might find a comicked up a PDP-11/05 for nothing. The "seller" was told by his better half not to bring the "box" home. A large number of sellers are the same people you wold find at a regular flea market. They are just there to get rid of a few computers that thest. Ham radio clubs sponser local Ham shows. Since most Hams are into computers, computers are becoming more and more prevalent. About half of the booths sell computer-related goods. You can find almost any system at a Ham Fest at almost any price. I puters, but they usually don't cover the odd and unusual. Similar to BBS's is Usenet, the World-Wide Unix-to-Unix BBS system. If you have access to a computer on the Internet, you might have Usenet access. The best place to buy computers is any Ham Feer one. Any local Bulletin Boards (the old index card and thumb tack type) are good places to look. The Pentagon has these boards on the Concourse. I have bought a few computers there. There are some computer BBS's that specialize in reselling comptems. Don't expect to find any great bargains here. These ads cost the seller money to place, so they must make some money in the deal. Local "freebie" classfied newspapers are the same as general newspapers. You might find a few good computers in eithknow in computer collecting: Where to buy and how much to pay. The most obvious place to start looking is the local classifieds. Most papers will have computers under a seperate section or in the "Metro Market" section with the rest of the general i cover what were then the latest and greatest. Half of the fun is getting to know about a number of older computers and the history surrounding them. The when's, why's and how's about its manufacture. What made this computer special. It's all there to learn. Most of all, it gives me a better perspective on newer computer systems. once I know computer history, I can see why computers were designed as they were and the reasons behind certain features. And, of course, it's fun.

When you are finished calculating and want the res, Tan, Bin, Dec, Hex, Rad, Deg, Sqt, Log, Ln,x^y, Pi, and e.The Calculator can have a tape on the screeen or on your printer or goth. When used in conjunction with the text pickup and paste tools, the Calculator can read and print to the screen. As an ext Calendar can also display or print a week's worth of appointments, so you can schedule your time accordingly. The Calculator is not just your basic calculator, but a real, full- function electronic workhorse. It includes keys for M+, M-, RM, Sin, Codaily appointments, but also interrupts any rogram you are using when it's time for an appointment. I have found this to be one of the handiest features found with TDM. You no longer miss appointments when you get involved in computing. The Appointmen Chart.

If your favorite accounting package only lets you print in 10 characters per inch andyou would rather have 1tomatic re-pagination, printing, copying and more gives you the power of a word processor from whatever program you are using. On-line help screens make it easier than may other word processors. The Printer Manager allows you to easily control a varCompuServe. It didn't use the ProDOS interrupts crrectly. Becasue TDM thrives on ProDOS's interrupts, both programs couldn't be run at the same tiem. Bob Consorti and Tim Harrington got a copy of the program, studied it and came up with a patch program to fix it. Now that's what I call support!

I smiled and proceeded to put Deskmate through its paces. Deskmate's graphics are nice and you can paste an image into a document focations as Home Office Computing, but what about a face to face confrontation against a similarly equipped Apple /// with it's Desktop Manager - /// E-Z Pieces environment? As I sat down with my notebook at the Radio Shack Computer Center, it was rather iing new, Something borrowed, Something Blue.... I'm sure most of you have seen the ads that tout Tandy's Deskmate as the Friendly Face in the crowd, being both easy to use and powerful. All this is true and Deskmate has received good reviews in such publiy comparison with the "Top of the Line" model, which I did. For some reason, most people have a perception of the Apple /// as a useless computer that is best used as a door stop, so let's have a look at some real world comparisons. Something old, Somether foot, imagine a salesperson stepping defensively in front of a 286 computer after hearing what an Apple /// can do, and claiming the comparison unfair! This actually happened and I was told by the manager that I should go to another store to continue mnyone compare a little 128k computer with nothing but floppy drives, to one of the ominous MS-DOS monsters sitting in the showroom? But things change, and with that first Apple /// no longer a bare bones computer, the shoe can often find itself on the othsalesperson who asked what type of system the items were being purchased for, he immediately burst out in laughter and suggested that I get a "real" computer. Being the new Apple /// owner back then, I was a little discouraged by the statement, how could asing it for everything, even forcing it to do word processing (a two-field data base, with one field for text and the other for line numbers, yes,... I was desperate!). I recall the following visit to my local area computer store. When I was greeted by a und for a while, was given one piece of software and sent happily on my way. My next job, after getting more familiar with the system, was a shopping trip to load up on software and supplies. At the time I only had the one application, Quickfile, and was u for storage and then disposal. At the time I was only interested in it because I needed something at home to fool around with, and it was so different from the scores of MS-DOS machines that seemed to be everywhere. I bought the computer after it sat aro The Apple /// - Death bed or new found life? By Paul Campbell The first Apple /// I ever saw sat on a cart in the back of the storeroom where I worked, equipped with only 128k of memory and two floppy drives, it was waiting to be sent to the warehouser printing, which is something that you must use a separate utility for on the Apple ///. But the battle goes downhill from there for the IBM compatible Tandy as the Apple /// reveals itself to be faster, more powerful, and easier to use on virtually all counts.

This gives us a clue to the reason whhard drive partitions currently in use? I've spent many hours doing benchmark tests with both machines side by side using almost identical programs and the Apple /// just walks away from the ][e in every test, no exceptions. The Commodore 64 has only 38Kdisaster that some believe it to be, it would take no fewer than ten slots on an Apple ][ to match the Apple /// system that I'm typing this article on right now, and what would ProDos8, which can only recognize two hard drive partitions, do with the five en build a custom SCSI drive for you.

It should be mentioned that these tests were run against the best computer offered by Tandy. It should also be mentioned that be set differently for each spreadsheet if desired. You can also change the format of individual cells. In some cases the shortcomings of Deskmate seem like oversights, like the lack of global search or record copying in databases and no spreadsheet sortiriod. You must also tell Deskmate that you are entering a formula or it will not recognize it as such. The Apple /// automatically recognizes formulas, values, and labels as you enter them, and formats each cell according to the Standard Values which can 26,873 empty cells, 16,400 of which can be filled with formulas at the same time.
