Path: utzoo!mnetor!uunet!husc6!uwvax!speedy!cad From: cad@speedy.cs.wisc.edu (Owner of VLSI software) Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple Subject: Some points and a request Message-ID: <5499@spool.cs.wisc.edu> Date: 4 Apr 88 05:07:05 GMT Sender: news@spool.cs.wisc.edu Lines: 27 Keywords: Apple ///, ProDOS Just a small point first: ProDOS will boot on ][+'s, (I have tried), and it works fine. It should boot on a ][, but BASIC.SYSTEM will not load. Now a request: I just bought an Apple /// motherboard. Some of the connectors are broken, and there is no keyboard or case. I am willing to sell for parts. I am also willing to buy parts to make it work, along with all the keen manuals I can get. If you can help either way, please post or email to me at: chris@leyden.cs.wisc.edu or chris@dream.cs.wisc.edu One more item: I am planning to build an Apple //e clone that will run at 10 MHz (yes 10). This should make for one respectable machine (1 MIP maybe). It will probably slow to 1 MHz for I/O, and timing, and it's max. clock rate will be programmable in ten steps. I am planning to have a very hard time designing the system and a harder time building it. If you have ideas, or would like to hear mine, email me. I will post my preliminary plans if there is interest. Chris Schumann chris@leyden.cs.wisc.edu
