Hello Barry,
I work in digital preservation at the National Library and we are interested in 
any software to get our IIc up and running to test accessing manuscript 
material.
The machine would be nice too but having moved from Perth to Canberra I know 
all too well the distance and cost.
Any boot disks or word processing spreadsheet software especially of interest.

cheers,
Douglas Elford

The machine appears to now have a new home.  I will try to find where all the 
software went, I know there was an appleworks or similar spreadsheet 
programme at one stage but the basic use of the machine was to run titrations 
so this may have disappeared.

I think the IIc has a home but if this falls through I will let you and Douglas

Perhaps we will take up your very kind offer.  Remember, however,

also have at least one ][c with original monitor which should be in

Re: Was: Wanted Startup Disk for Apple Iic or e now AppleWorks Startup Program

2004-12-08 Thread Greg Sharp
It took a lot longer to organise than I thought it would, but at last it
appears everything has been sorted out as far as sourcing the required
disks.

I'd like to thank everybody who offered help both on list and privately.

This episode demonstrated one of the great reasons for belonging to a Mac
User Group. In the beginning this invalid pensioner had her AppleWorks
Startup disk destroyed by her grandkids. As a housebound pensioner one of
her only means of entertainment (her old Apple Iic) couldn't be used. She
lives in Sydney and when she called Apple they gave her the phone numbers to
all 3 of the Sydney Mac User Groups.

The first 2 she rang laughed and said no way they would be able to help so
by the time she called the Sydney Mac Users Group which I also run and I
heard her story I wanted to help.

I also run the Australian Mac Users Group (whose aim is to help ALL
Australian Mac User Groups and Mac users) and try to monitor/get involved
with all the various Mac Groups in Australia. This is where WAMUG comes in.
Of all the Australian groups I feel WAMUG has the best email list and a
great membership based on my observations. It may seem strange with me being
in Sydney but WAMUG was my first choice in seeking help.

Despite a number of hick ups I got numerous offers of help. I'd like to
publicly thank James/Hans Kurt, John Weekes, Andrew Nielson for their offers
Kathy Quinlan, Rod, Robert Howells, Peter Hinchcliffe, Reg Whitely, Tom
Lewis, Rod Finlay, Jon Davison for their suggestions (hope I didn't miss
anyone) and James Fraser for eventually copying the disks and contacting the
lady about the disks. The interesting thing is that James Fraser lives in
Tasmania. It's funny that a Sydney Group went to a Western Australian Group
to be helped by a Tasmanian. This whole process shows what can be achieved
when Mac Users get together. It might seem minor to most people but to the
lady involved it was a small miracle.

All the best

As the Americans like to say, 'Back in the day' before the Mac, the Apple II
series used AppleWorks.  I think once the Mac came on the scene, AppleWorks
may have been spun off into its own division and became Clarisworks.  By the
time version 5 came around, the software had reverted back to Appleworks.
From memory there was a text version for the II c/e series, and a graphic
version for the IIGS.

If I am wrong, can the Apple historians on the list please correct me!

Re: Was: Wanted Startup Disk for Apple Iic or e now AppleworksStartup Program

2004-11-18 Thread Greg Sharp
I'll have to get back to the lady again to confirm but I have had a number
of offers so I'm sure I should be able to sort this out.

From my reading Appleworks first came out in 1983 and went through many
incarnations eg v1.2, v1.3, v2 . From version 3 Claris was formed to look
after it up until recently when Appleworks went back to Apple's direct
control. I imagine this lady is after one of the version 1 or 2 versions
since I think by v3 it went to 3 1/2 inch disks (though 5.25 inch disks
could be specially ordered) but I could end up being proved wrong.

Unfortunately my first Mac was an LC575. Prior to this I had been using
punch cards on a DEC VAX System. After getting the LC575 I could never face
the thought of going back to anything more primitive. Now days I even find
my G4's struggling to keep up with my needs and will soon have to upgrade a
number of them to G5's. I guess whatever you use comes down to what you want
to do. I run about 13 Macs on my home network and I'm always complaining
about needing more.

Unfortunately my first Mac was an LC575. Prior to this I had been using
punch cards on a DEC VAX System. After getting the LC575 I could never face
the thought of going back to anything more primitive. Now days I even find
my G4's struggling to keep up with my needs and will soon have to upgrade a
number of them to G5's. I guess whatever you use comes down to what you want
to do. I run about 13 Macs on my home network and I'm always complaining
about needing more.

Thanks

Hey Greg somewhere I have a punch card reader and writter (punch 
machine) that uses RS-422 that I used to run on my LC :) Great for nerd 
get togethers ;)


I know the feeling re lack of computers, I have 20 here atm on the 
network and I just can never find what I want (I have one drive on each 
PC mapped to one unix server then all the other drives mapped under that 
shared directory, had to take this route as I was running out of drive 
letters in M$ winblows :(


Regards,

Kat.

I know who definitely has one - Peter Hinchcliffe!  I'm sure I saw one

Was: Wanted Startup Disk for Apple Iic or e now Appleworks Startup Program

2004-11-17 Thread Greg Sharp
I'm sorry for all the hassle everyone but can you please IGNORE my previous
posts.

I got back to the lady and queried her over a point raised by someone on the
lists where it was suggested doesn't she mean AppleWorks Startup  with
Appleworks program on other side not System Startup since she claims it's a
double sided disk because the System Disk is only single sided.

Sure enough she had given me the wrong info.

So what I'm looking for is actually a 5.25 inch Appleworks Program Disk on
one side and Appleworks Startup on the other. Reading back to me from her
damaged original disk it stated for 2e or 2c ProDOS etc691-007-B

I'm sorry for the inconvenience especially to those who responded on and off
list but still hope somebody can help.

Thanks
Greg Sharp

Actually one can get such things in the NT too - that being a liberated

Have you tried school computing teachers?  When I was in charge of a Mac
school network we had whole heaps of stuff like that stored away...

Hey tom you seem to move around a bit mate ;)

Well if I am reading correct, are we talking of the IIE as in the all in 
one keyboard and cpu box with a green mono monitor ?


If so try saintbridgids college in Lesmurdie, they MAY still have a boot 
disk, I know in the mid 90's they were still running the IIE's

I think you kinda missed the point on Andrew's post Greg.  Have another look
at your subject line...then have a think of what product comes out of
Canberra that you generally can't buy anywhere else in Australia :-)

So Greg

You've cleaned up the subject line and got even less response? What do 
you need to do now to get your answer?  ;-))


 I used to teach kids with a BBC Acorn Model A with a 5.25 floppy 
drive, back when floppy meant floppy. We plugged a Commstar 
communications chip into it and logged in to Telecom's Viatel to do 
PEAC studies. Of course the Model A didn't have the chips in it to 
connect to the phone connection (First Nice Modem - 200 baud) and it 
took me all weekend trying and retrying all the settings to realise it 
wouldn't do it - so it was sent off to Perth from sunny little 
Burracoppin to have its right hemisphere installed. Wow, that was in 
1985!

Wanted Startup Dick for Apple Iic or e

2004-11-14 Thread Greg Sharp
Hi all

Sorry to be a pain but I've been asked if I could try and find a Startup
Disk for an Apple Iic (Apple Iie would also work). This is an old double
sided 5.25 inch floppy (Disk Utilities on other side). Either an original or
a copy doesn't matter. The files are free on Apple's site but I have no
machine old enough to come with a 5.25 inch drive so I can't make up a disk
for this lady. She is a physically handicapped pensioner and her old Apple
IIc is her main entertainment. Please contact me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you can help. She will pay postage
and any costs.

Thanks
Greg Sharp
