John Brooks Bitsy Bye, QUIT.SYSTEM followed by BOOT.SYSTEM (BB renamed), works well for the older Apple II/+ modes. Most of the *.SYSTEM files in my list either want to run on an Apple IIe or on a 128K machine. The problem boils down to the fact that the Apple II (original) and Apple II Plus modes on AppleWin are 64K, and not 128K, machines. It flashes something on the screen just before everything hangs. It is probably the NS.CLOCK.SYSTEM file that is not working with the A2/A2+ modes. System files, down the road in the boot process, may be the culprit. I replaced (copied over) ProDOS and Basic.System and ProSel.System (And, maybe more I don't remember for sure.) with backups/originals from the disk images they originally came from, but it had no effect and did not eliminate the problem.

When I boot in the //e modes, original or enhanced, everything works as expected. Is this by design, or is it strange behavior? speed), then the second click boots from slot 6. On the first attempt to boot, after the first click of the Apple icon, the indicators are flashing "T0/S0 T0/S?" very rapidly (max. With the Apple II Plus, I have to click the Apple ("F2") icon two times to get it to boot from slot 6, when slot 7 is enabled and AppleWin is trying and failing to boot from slot 7. With the original Apple II, once it drops into the Old Monitor ROM, I am using 7 to boot slot 7, but it drops to slot 6 to boot, like slot 7 isn't there even though it is enabled. version 2.4.2) 32MB hard disk drive (*.HDV) image (in slot 7, drive 1),, but do work when booting from the "APPLE DOS 3.3 SYSTEM MASTER.dsk" or the (John Brooks) "ProDOS-8 2.4.2.dsk" (in slot 6, drive 1, and with slot 7 disabled). They all have their strengths and weaknesses.In my experimentation with running the various Apple II models in AppleWin (version 1.27.0.0), the Apple II (original) and the Apple II Plus, do not seem to work right when I try to boot them using my (ProDOS-8 J.B.

While drive audio is a "nice-to-have" it isn't a "mandatory feature", and thus it isn't a high priority.įor example, I got fed up of having to use Alt+ PrintScreen and Photoshop/GIMP to take and manually crop screenshots so I added support for PrintScreen support to save the 560x384 output as a native.We've been slowly working through our "wishlist" of feature requests,.As mentioned in the seminal The Cathedral and the Bazaar essay it really comes down to:Įvery good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch.
