Apple ii gs find! And a tech question.

[kynrek]

I got a complete apple iigs system off Craigslist for 50 bucks!



Here is my question. I have a USB 3.5 floppy that works with my windows 7 pc can I transfer a 5.25 disk image for the apple ii as an image file on a 3.5 and have the apple iigs read it and write it onto the 5.25 drive for my apple ii plus? Anyone know of any software that could help the iigs write a apple ii format disk to the 5.25 drive?

You can always connect the 5.25 directly to a PC and write images; http://adt.berlios.de/ Similar programs exist for the C64

Thanks Scott.

Great score, congrats! A friend of mine had a ][gs, and the version of Bard's Tale for it is really good.

Hahah! I had forgotten there were two disks for Bard's Tale. This came with the //gs? Or did you score these separately?

These came with the apple ii plus I got last week

Great find!

CiderPress is probably the best way to transfer disks & files to the IIgs.

What is the IIgs? is the best source for games, applications, and even manuals which we didn't have back in the "pirate days".

A Compact Flash Card or SCSI hard drive is a must. Then, you can install System 6.0.1 and have a very Mac-like environment.

Next, you can get the IIgs online via an Uthernet Card.

All sorts of fun stuff to play with!

Thanks! Can you run any version of gs/os off of a floppy

You could, although you'd need at least two 3.5" floppy drives since the OS would take up most of the disk. Most GSOS programs on disk have a "light" version of the OS called "Launcher" which lacks Finder. It's still best for you to get a HD or CF card...
