Any body still using an Apple II in a lab or something similar ?
Any body still using an Apple II in a lab or something similar ?
I paid my student room during my studies (early 80's) by developing software for a swiss insurance company on an Apple II. But I must admit that this is not used anymore now....
I can imagine someone still uses an AppleII in a lab or something similar...
Tell us !My current machine is an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz 24" and a MacBook Pro 13" with MacOS X 10.6. My oldest Apple was born in 1977.

I propose you onpen it, take out all the dust, remove memories, clean up the contact (an eraser does it very well) and reinstall the memory... and try to restart.
Don't touch the video line (high voltage may remain even after you have taken the plug out).My current machine is an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz 24" and a MacBook Pro 13" with MacOS X 10.6. My oldest Apple was born in 1977.

I did that type of things quite often... with Apple IIs, TV and HiFi... always trying to reuse old electronics.
I never had to do that with a Mac until now.My current machine is an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz 24" and a MacBook Pro 13" with MacOS X 10.6. My oldest Apple was born in 1977.

Yep
We're using Apple IIs in our Active Physics class at my high school. Odd, huh?

I've got an entire lab's worth of Apple IIgs systems out in my garage. My school district "decomissioned" them a few years back, and I was a good candidate to claim them for experimentation purposes. My main IIgs currently has 5 MB of RAM, a 170 MB hard disk, a stock IIgs RGB color monitor, a video digitizer card, an external modem, and 4 floppy drives (both sizes.) The only things I'm lacking are an accelerator, a joystick, and a SCSI card. Then I could play Wolfenstein 3D and use my CD-ROM drive. Who needs cutting edge technology?
You can have my iBook when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
