Re: Working out the memory

Hi,
I believe that the Apple //+ comes with 48k RAM, however, can I check if
my machine has been extended any?
How can I read how many K of RAM my machine has using AppleSoft or the
monitor for example?
From your pics I can see that all the memory sockets are full which is
48k on the motherboard plus you have a 16k card in slot 0 which brings
you to 64k total.
Also. I'm trying to salvage parts from a dead //e and put them into the
][+, my reason for this is to see if I can make a (close-to) //e system
out of a ][+.
Everyone talks of //e's or GS's, nobody seems to think that the ][+ has
much of a bite -- thus why im trying to hotrod it - I can only find comms
software for //e's not for my ][+.
How useless is my +: Should I get a working //e motherboard.
A II+ is far from useless. Most things you can do on a IIe, you can do
on a II+. A IIe would be easier but there's some enjoyment from pushing
a II+
As is you can run ProDOS 1.9 or earlier. If you get an accelerator or
a suitable 65c02 then you can use any version of ProDOS.
If you want a printer you don't need to stop with a dot matrix, there's
quite a few ink jet printers that'll work with your II+.
My II+ is set up with these cards at the moment
0) 16k card
1) TransWarp accelerator
2) clock card
3) 80 column
4) mouse card
5) superdrive card
6) Disk II card
7) Rev C SCSI card
I don't print that often but if I want to print I swap in a ProGrappler
connected to an Epson Color Stylus 800 printer.
I replaced the 6502 with an R65C02 so that if I remove or deactivate the
TransWarp I can still use ProDOS 2.0.3
I haven't tried the internet but I can send and recieve email with my
II+. I do that ocasionally via our user groups BBS.
The Microsoft Z-80 card is for software that uses the Z-80 processor.
At one time there was more Z-80 software available than any other kind.
