In fact, when I'm running ProDOS, I can see all the files on the Apple /// System Utils disk, Demo disk, etc.Ok, then the problem is with the ///'s drive.
Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. I think I will try and see if I can reseat the RAM board and clean the drive heads, hoping it's just something like a loose connector somewhere or a dirty head. Also, it's an early serial number (016xxx) so I think it must be a early unit, the 12v kind that had problems. It also has a sticker with a serial number 5003xx, and one with several check boxes [ ] 32k [ ] 64k [x] 128k. So I think it's one of the more early units. I can post or e-mail pix if anyone wants to see.
All else fails I will just sell it for parts.
MacADT's server isn't going to understand some of the protocol extensions of ADTPro client.Is there an update of MacADT that's compatible with ADTPro? Or do I have to go and buy a Keyspan adapter and use the Unix thingie? Because I really prefer using Macs to using Unix! Haha oh the irony.I don't have the source to MacADT, so I can't update it. But if you only want to move 5-1/4" floppies around, The old MacADT and client should do you fine.
OK sounds good.I have to say, though, the Apple /// certainly is a beast of a computer, physically. Just for scrap metal it's probably worth a decent amount ;p (Just kidding I promise I won't scrap it. It will be on eBay before too long.)
