Hello,

I have the following questions.

Does some of you own, know some people who own, or have the information how
to create
an convertor between the apple//e keyboard flatcable,
and an ordinary qwerty/us keyboard <ps/2 or usb for instance>

<i own two apple//e computers with defect keyboard,
with such adapter i can use them.>

Do you know software, or information about the apple//e
cassette port?

<purpose is to use the cassette in and out ports of the apple to transfer
data
 between the apple//e and an ordinary linux machine>

i might link the cassette ports towards the sound card of the linux machine
directly, or use a memo recorder to make sure that nothing blows out.

<i probably need 65C02 assembly routines to tranfer a disk towards the
memo recorder from the first track to the last, and
 some c code for linux how to convert /dev/audio data towards a decent
 .DSK image>

also, when i issue a LOAD an the apple//e <i tried several apple//e's>
it Beeps and ERRs twice, and no data is transferred.

do you know how this may have happend ans/or how to fix it?

kind regards,

digi
As I recall the cassette port is essentially a serial input/output port. It is accessed in the same way the internal speaker of a //e is accessed. The only difference is in ML the address is different. From what I recall from DOS 3.3 the command to access the cassette is CLOAD and CSAVE. All this is almost 30 year old info which I never used to begin with so take it with a grain of salt.
