Re: Apple IIe - dead or alive?

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

Dear Craig,  Moll and Greg,


thank you very much for your friendly help. As soon as I get back home I
will try the <Control>+<reset> thing, suggested by some of you gentlemen.

As for your great tip, Craig, of creating these boot floppies, I would love
to do it if I had a Super Serial Card. I guess I will have to get one from
eBay. Is there any other hardware I should need, to create these floppies?

I also plan on getting a CP/M card for the Apple IIe.  That way I could have
my first Apple IIe AND my first functional CP/M system!


Once again, thank you for the help, and I shall ask more questions, hoping
not to annoy you.


best to you



mario
