Your /// can operate as-is in an
emulation mode to make it think it's a 48k Apple //+ (WAP has the
emulation software: Disk 3EMM-01). Titan made a ///+// card for the
/// you might also be able to find - it increased memory up to 128K
in //+ emulation and offered a RAM disk in native mode.
You might also be on the lookout at
computer garage sales for the "Titan ///+//e" - a set of two-cards
that turns your /// into a 128k //e. You'll want to add a 65c802 CPU
(in place of the 6502) to ensure compatibility with newer Apple //
programs (it has no effect on native mode applications). The cards
offer a RAM disk in native mode as well. (WAP has a wonderful set of
RAM drivers for these cards - disk 3DAD-10).
10) WHERE DO I FIND INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPLE ///?
* /// USER GROUPS
A user group is a great way to
obtain more information about the Apple ///. Members are
knowledgable, ready to answer questions and most offer PD (public
domain) libraries with Apple /// software. There is only one User
Group that still supports the Apple ///:
Washington Apple Pi
/// SIG
12022 Parklawn Drive
Rockville, MD. 20852
(301)-984-0300
Check out WAP PD disks 3INF-01
through 15, as well as 3WAP01-10 for lots of Apple /// information
files on disk. These include past articles from many Apple /// UG
newsletters and magazines.
* INTERNET
Apple's World Wide Web page
(http://www.apple.com)
offers some Apple /// services - Apple /// tech notes are available
for download. There are also a number of sites around the Web that
offer this FAQ and some other Apple /// Information - including one
specifically about using the Apple /// to access the Internet. There
is also an Apple /// discussion group for the Apple /// community. To
subscribe, send a message to majordomo@altair.com
with the text:
subscribe apple3-l
in the body of your message.
You'll get info back at that point.
Send comments or suggestions to: jeff@altair.com.
(THANKS to Jeff Fritz at West Virgina Univ. for hosting this
Listserve for many years.)
One other place to go is the Apple
// Discussion area, a Usenet newgroup on the Internet. Check out the
Comp.Sys.Apple2 board - whereApple
///ers lurk and answer questions on occasion. This FAQ is also posted
there from time to time.
You can also check out Washington
Apple Pi's web page at http://www.wap.org
where we offer a growing list of Apple /// resources. The primary
offering is a searchable FM Pro Data Base of virtually all Apple ///
articles, compiled by Dave Ottalini.
