Re: Apple IIe - dead or alive?

["mario" <gianmarioRE.scottiMO@nokiaVE.com>]

Dear Craig, Greg and Moll,


thanks a lot for the hints! I did <ctrl> + <reset>, and it worked! I was
dropped to the Applesoft Basic! YES!!

Unfortunately, I do not have the Super Serial Card, but I will try to buy it
from eBay. I am also looking forward to get a cp/m (Z80) card, and see if I
can also get a CP/M boot floppy. I am looking froward to lots of fun!

Unfortunately, being in Finland, I am limited as to my options; Germany is
the closest I can find Apple II spares, and it still costs an arm and a leg
to have the heavier items shipped to me. But I totally think it's worth it.


Thank you again, gentlemen, and I will definitely ask more questions in this
newsgroup, hoping not to annoy anione.


best to you


mario
