THE APPLE BLOSSOM vol. 1 no. 2 Spring 1995 ============================================================= About the Apple Blossom ======================= The Apple Blossom is written on an Apple IIGS using ShadowWrite and AppleWorks 5.0 for text entry, GraphicWriter III for page layout, and SuperConvert for printing super hi res graphics. It is printed on an Apple Personal LaserWriter 320. (Both GraphicWriter III and the LaserWriter 320 represent upgrades for me since the first issue.) It is mailed free of charge to the schools in my area (New Castle County, Delaware) and may be reprinted by you for free distribution to schools or other interested parties. This text versionis supplied for those of you using a IIe or IIc or those without GraphicWriter III. If you would like an article printed in the next Apple Blossom (approximately June of 1995) send your submission to me at: Steve Cavanaugh, 1117 Maple St., Wilmington, DE 19805. I don't guarantee publication, but I will give it my best shot. I won't return any submissions, however, so don't send your only copy! This issue includes an article on the TurboASB card that first appeared in PowerGS Diskazine #5. It is reprinted with the kind permission of Auri Rahimzadeh, the publisher/editor of PowerGS.

Have you downloaded the 7 disks that make up HyperCard IIGS 1.1 yet? Or the latest System disk for Apple IIe's and IIc's?And just how much software is available for Apple II's nowadays, and where can I get it? Well, if you have a modem (you do have a modem, don't you?) you can, of course, download lots of stuff via ftp from ftp.cco.caltech.edu or from grind.isca.uiowa.edu, but that does take some time. Or, you could buy the new CD-ROM compilation of Apple II software from Digisoft Innovations, Golden Orchard.A CD-ROM made especially for Apple II's? That's right. In fact, this is the second collection of shareware, freeware and system software that has been made available to the Apple II using public in the last 12 months. The first was put out by the AUGE, an Apple User Group in Germany. This latest one is the product of Jim Maricondo, who also created Twilight II, a screensaver that gets rave reviews from its users.Here are the details on the CD.It is divided into 7 partitions. The first one is formatted with ProDOS, and thus would be usable by someone with an Apple IIe. This also has GS System 6.0.1 on it, making it possible to boot your IIGS from the CD. There are also folders with AppleWorks files and templates, graphics for use with PublishIt or other programs that can use Double HiRes graphics, games, utilities and fonts.The other six partitions are formatted with HFS (the Macintosh formatting system) so that long file names and larger partitions are supported. These partitions are arranged as follows: GO.Main: AppleWorks files, AppleWorks GS files, HyperCard HyperStudio stacks, & BASIC programs GO-Misc16bit: Fonts (TrueType and bitmaps), NDAs, Icons, Postscript utilities, Inits, patches, CDAs, Control Panels, Drivers GO-Programming: source code, tech notes, file type notes, Shell utilities GO-Disks: Shrunk or Complete disks of software GO-Applications: Demos, Graphics & Sound programs, Games, Educational programs, anti-virus programs, etc. GO-G.S.: Graphics, Sound, & Music As you can see, there is a lot here. Much of it would be very useful in a school or for home use, as well as for general usefulness and fun. The partitioned CD-ROM can be used on either a RamFAST or Apple HighSpeed SCSI card equipped IIGS, or on a Macintosh that uses FWB's CD-ROM Toolkit driver (the Apple driver does not support partitioned CD's). It comes with an information and how-to sheet that tells how to mount the partitions with a RamFAST. The only caution for use in a school that I would make is that there is a folder on the GO-G.S. partition in the Graphics directory of X-Rated graphics...you don't want the kids getting at that! I think that you will find this a very useful addition to your software library. It can let you put away dozens and dozens of floppy disks (I may get some shelf space back finally!) since everything is right here, except for the latest shareware. Ordering information is below: The price for the CD is $65.00, plus $2.00 shipping in the U.S. or Canada. Contact Jim Maricondo at:DigiSoft InnovationsP.O. Box 380Trumbull, CT 06611(203) 375-0837 How to Upgrade Your Apple IIe ============================= The mainstay of many schools' computer programs for many years was the Apple IIe. As we enter an age where "Information SuperHighway"", "Multimedia", and "Interactive" are the every day buzzwords of our profession, many feel that they need to "upgrade" their labs by relegating their Apple II's to the scrapheap, and getting "modern" computers like Macintosh LC 575's or PC's with 486 processors.While there are some tasks that are more easily done on some of the newer computers, most of what we need to teach elementary and middle school students is just as easily done with Apple II's as more expensive systems. Sometimes, in fact, it is easier to teach certain concepts with an Apple II than with a Macintosh or PC. It can also be a lot easier on your budget. No one can say what "typical" computer technology will look like ten or fifteen years from now. Things change so fast, both in software and hardware, that any prophecy about the future would probably be wrong. However, we can say with some chance of being right that our elementary and middle school students will probably need to know how to use a mouse, windows, menu bars and the internet in high school. Are our Apple IIe's up to the task? You bet! The rest of this article will show you how, and will also show you that it isn't that expensive. Think about it when it's time to prepare your budget.First of all, we'll assume that you have an enhanced Apple IIe* (meaning that it has the 65C02 microprocessor and upgraded video and keyboard chips). This computer has one auxiliary memory slot and seven peripheral card slots, as well as a built-in RCA video connector. Typically, these computers have one or two 5.25" disk drives connected to a card in slot 6. You may have a monochrome (usually green) or color monitor. That's all we'll assume.OK, now what do we want to do with this computer? Well, we want our kids to know how to use a mouse, and how to use a program with pull down menus, knowing that they'll likely be using Word for Windows 6.0 or WordPerfect 3.1 for a Mac when they get to high school (in itself a big change...two years ago, the Mac would have been sure to be using MS Word, and the PC would be running WordPerfect...I told you things change fast). They also will want to use a high quality printer, since even in middle school we expect kids to hand in papers that look good. We also want them to get used to using more than one program for their reports. The first thing our IIe needs is a mouse. This is easily done with the BitMouse card from Sequential Systems. For only $59.00 you get a card that you insert in slot 4 to which you can connect a standard PC serial mouse, which can be bought for as little as $10.00. With this you can use programs such as 8/16 Paint, MousePaint, MouseWrite, or BeagleWrite, and be using a system with pull down menus much like a Macintosh or Windows program. The second thing to consider for your IIe is more memory...a IIe comes with 64K soldered onto the motherboard. It is common to find 80 column/64K cards in the auxiliary slot. However, for only $79.00 you can buy the ZMeg-80 for the Apple IIe from Sequential and have a full megabyte of RAM available. While that would be a puddle in a Macintosh or IBM, it is an ocean on an Apple IIe. The third thing to consider for your Apple IIe is a hard drive. A good choice would be a hard drive from Charlie's AppleSeeds or Parson's Engineering. A 40 MB RoadRunner hard drive from Charlie's AppleSeeds costs around $199.00; a 120 MB Focus Hard Card from Parson's Engineering would cost about $269.00 plus $15.00 shipping. Both of these are internal hard drives, which means no disk clutter. The speed of a hard drive versus floppy disks is hard to believe, and you'll really have a lot more time for your lessons when you don't have to spend as much time passing out disks or waiting to load software. Both of these drives come formatted with system software installed, so they are essentially plug and play (they are also available for a IIGS computer). Fourth, we need to connect our computers to a high quality printer. There are several choices here, and my recommendation because of price and ease of set up would be a Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 240. An HP DJ 240 costs around $290, and has a parallel connector, so you will need to install a parallel printer card in slot one of your IIe. The Q Print II cards are available for $49.00 from Quality Computers. By using a switch box, you can easily share your printer between from 4 to 6 computers. Fifth, how do you connect to the Internet and other communication bases such as local Bulletin Board Systems (BBS's) and Online Systems? With a SuperCom serial card from Quality Computers for $59.00 you are ready to connect to a modem. Any external modem will work, although you will need a cable...and you can get that from Quality as well. You will also need some telecommunication software, and for the IIe, there is none better than ProTerm, which is available from Quality Computers for only 79.95. ProTerm also has a great macros/scripting capability, so you can even do some "programming" with this package.Of course, unless you have a phone line for each computer in your lab, you will only need one modem, SuperCom card and copy of ProTerm, so I will not count that in the total. Nor will I count the cost of software now, since what you use will vary according to taste as well as price. At this point, the cost for upgrading our IIe is: Product Price BitMouse $59.00 Serial Mouse $10.00 Z-Meg 80 $79.00 Q-Print II $49.00 Subtotal $197.00 with RoadRunner 40MB $199.00 Subtotal $396.00 with HardCard 120MB $279.00 Subtotal $476.00 The most you will have to pay is under $500.00. And for that you will have a system that is perfectly suited to wordprocessing, database and spreadsheet work, and bit-mapped graphics. (I have purposely not figured in the cost of the printer here, as it would be shared by several computers - we typically share 1 printer with 4 computers via switchboxes at my school, and there are switchboxes that can accomodate 6 computers. Plus, you will have the printer for a while. Hewlett Packard gives a three year warranty on their printers, so you can expect one to last quite a while.) It is also a great system for telecommunications, and don't forget that you still have a few empty slots and the internal "game" connector that you can use if you want to add on things such as Robot Controllers to use with LEGO Dacta and LOGO. By upgrading your IIe, helping it to "grow up" as it were, you will prolong its life and usefulness in your class and your students (and your budget!) will benefit. * If your IIe is not enhanced, enhancement kits are available from Alltech Computers, Atlaz Computer Supply, and Quality Computers.

Several Apple II companies and supporters have established web pages which can be viewed using Lynx. If you have a shell account on a Unix-based Internet server (such as at the University of Delaware) then you start up Lynx by typing Lynx at your $ prompt. At that point you just type in a "G", then one of the web addresses below and press Return. You will soon be at a page that can be used for ftp, gopher, or hot links to other web pages. The Nova Scotia Apple Users Group page is particulary impressive. I think you will be in for a real treat when you see all of the resources that they have organized for you.

When serial interface cards like the Apple Super Serial Card and Applied EngineeringÍs Serial Pro were introduced, the idea of telecommunication at or above their 19,200 bps upper limits was merely a fantasy. When 14.4k bps modems began to filter into the consumer market within the last year or so, many serial card owners began to feel the approaching port rate ceiling and, when it became apparent that the new 28.8k bps modems would soon be following, a solution was needed to enable the serial cards to take full advantage of the new modem's capabilities. In 1993, Lightning Systems opened its doors and began selling telecommunication enhancements for the Apple //. Their featured product, the Turbo ASB, is an add on board to the Super Serial Card or AE Serial Pro which removes the 19.2k bps limits and extends it to a whopping 230,400 bps, faster than any current Apple // should need to go. The Turbo ASB is an external baud (bps) rate generator for the 6551 chip that most serial cards for the Apple // have on them. It supports all of the standard bps rates that the original serial interface comes with and adds 38.4k, 57.6k, 115.2k, and 230.4k bps. The Turbo ASB is a small (about two inches by two inches) board that takes the place of the 6551 chip on the serial card. It effectively blocks the slot next to the serial card, but Lightning Systems is developing a cabled version that will allow the board to be used without blocking a slot so that ïpower users Í with fully loaded CPU's can take full advantage of all of their slots. The board also contains an updated version of the 6551 chip which corrects a problem in some of the older serial cards that caused characters to be lost. In many typical high speed configurations where Hardware Handshaking cables are used, the computer will send and receive data faster than the modem can receive and transmit. The computer and the modem handle the difference in speeds by allowing the modem to switch the Clear to Send (CTS) line when itÍs buffer fills, instructing the computer to stop transmitting data. The original 6551 chips would stop sending data immediately and, if the computer was transmitting a character when this CTS signal was received, the lost character would result in an error. The new 6551 chip allows the computer to complete any characters it is the middle of sending and avoids transmission errors. The Turbo ASB has had some very impressive performance results. When tested on an 8 Mhz Zipped //e and a direct serial link through a US Robotics v.32 modem, the transfer of a 256k file of ascii text resulted in an 8000 cps transfer rate --about 480k of data per minute! Of course, in real world file transfers of compressed data, the actual kilobytes per minute would be less, but the numbers still reflect a staggering amount of information transferred when compared to a top end speed of 19.2 bps of a standard serial card. The Turbo ASB currently supports ProTERM v3.1, ANSIterm v2.12, and Spectrum v1.0 and higher. The support for these software packages is configured by setting the three DIP switches on the board. The possible speeds/switch combinations are shown in the table below: Standard | Turbo ASB Rates Rates | S1-1 ON S1-2 ON S1-3 ON ----------------------------------------------------- 50 | 100 50 25 75 | 150 75 38 109.9 | 220 110 55 134.58 | 269 135 68 150 | 300 150 75 300 | 600 300 150 600 | 1,200 600 300 1200 | 2,400 1,200 600 1800 | 3,600 1,800 900 2400 | 4,800 2,400 1,200 3600 | 7,200 3,600 1,800 4800 | 9,600 4,800 2,400 7200 | 14,400 7,200 3,600 9600 | 19,200 9,600 4,800 19200 | 38,400 19,200 9,600 Ext./16 | 230,400 115,200 57,600 If you need to use the baud (bps) rates provided by your original Serial Interface Card, set the switches on the Turbo ASB as follows:S1-1 OFFS1-2 ONS1-3 OFF If you use ProTERM 3.1, you need to use a ïnewÍ version of the PT3.CODE0 file available for download from the INTREC BBS. To achieve the full 230.4k bps rate, there is also a modification to the PT3.Global file included with the ASBÍs documentation. The proper configuring of the DIP switches for the supported software products is included with the ASB's documentation. ANSIterm v2.12 directly supports the Turbo ASB in its set up menu and proper DIP switch configuration is included in the documentation. Spectrum user's should note that the maximum suggested ïportÍ rate setting (for v 1.0) is 38.4k bps. Speeds above this are extremely high for any Apple II computer and because of the GS/OS nature of Spectrum, under some conditions the software may not be able to keep up with the data at 230.4k bps. This has not been tested with the new (v2.0) version of Spectrum and it is possible that the potential problem may have already gone away.

Using a ZIP Drive with an Apple IIGS ==================================== The ZIP drive by Iomega Corporation, maker of Bernoulli drives, is a small, removeable SCSI drive unit that uses 3.5î cartridges (well, more like 3.6î) in 25 MB and 100 MB densities. The drive comes in two models, a SCSI model for use with PCÍs or MacÍs (or Apple IIGSÍs, as we have now found) or a Parallel port model for use with PCÍs. The unit is quite small, only 7 by 5.5 by 1.75 inches, has a termination switch and a SCSI ID selector switch (it can only be set to ID 5 or 6), and dual 25 pin SCSI ports. There is no power switch on the unit, which draws power from a very bulky power block. The ZIP drive can be laid flat or stood horizontally (there are rubber feet attached for this) The front has an eject button and dual LEDÍs, a green one to indicate power on and an amber one to indicate disk access. The unit sells for $199.00 in most of the Macintosh mail-order catalogs like MacMall, MacWarehouse or MacConnection, and the media cost about $19.95 for the 100 MB cartridges (less if you buy 5 packs) and $9.95 for the 25 MB cartridges. However, at the present time, the cartridges (except for the 100 Mb cartridge that ships with the unit) are seriously back-ordered. I tried out a ZIP drive with two Apple IIGS configurations. Both were ROM 01 GSÍs with 4.25MB of RAM, hard drives and Apple CD-ROM drives. Computer #1 has a TransWarp GS accelerator and an Apple HighSpeed SCSI card, and Computer #2 has a RamFAST SCSI card with 256K cache.On the first GS, I started up with my Hard Drive at SCSI ID set to 6, the ZIP drive set to 5 and the CD-ROM drive set to 0. The ZIP disk was the last drive in the SCSI chain and was terminated. Once in Finder, the drive mounted (the cartridge was a 100 MB disk with HFS formatting), but I twice got a message saying that with the installed file system translators the device could not be read. I was given the choice to initialize or eject. I twice chose eject, and the drive remained mounted. I was able to copy to and from the ZIP disk with no problems.I ejected the ZIP disk (dragging the disk to the trash unmounted it but did not eject the disk...I had to do that manually) and started up GS ShrinkIt to decompress a file...but with the ZIP disk ejected, I was unable to navigate disks and partitions in the open file dialog box. Inserting the ZIP disk solved the problem. I then connected the ZIP drive to my PowerBook 170 and turned FileSharing on. I went to AppleShare in the Control Panels NDA on my IIGS and linked with the PowerBook, and mounted the ZIP disk on the IIGS desktop...it worked like a charm, and I was able to open the first part of this review, which I had exported from WordPerfect 3.1 in RTF format, in EGOed 2.0. Next, I hooked up the ZIP drive to my RamFAST equipped IIGS. This procdure took a little more time, although this was not all due to the RamFAST. As owners of a RamFAST probably know, when you add or subtract a device from the SCSI chain, the RamFAST Utilities are presented upon booting up so that you can add the disk/partitions to the cards ñmapî of volumes. It will be worth your time to get the manual out if you donÍt do it very often. The problem for me came in the area of SCSI IDÍs. The ZIP drive, as a cost-cutting measure I suppose, only has two IDÍs selectable, 5 or 6. Since the computer boots from the highest numbered SCSI device, that means that your IIGS hard drive needs a SCSI ID of 6 or 7. Mine, of course, were numbered 1 and 3, so I had to dig out a manual to reconfigure the DIP switches on my old CMS drive and set it to 6. My other drive is even older, and you need to open the unit up to change its SCSI ID, which I wasnÍt about to do at 12:30 am! After doing that, I finally managed to get the ZIP disk mounted on the desktop, and from there it was treated like any other disk...except that it was a large one. In fact, I opened this review from the cartridge in the ZIP drive in EGOed 2.0 to finish typing this segment.When I was through using the disk, I dragged it to the the trash to dismount it, and it popped right out of the drive. Inserting it back in made it appear on the desktop again. Just how cost effective is this drive? Well, for the initial investment of $199.00, you get a 100 megabyte hard drive. For less than $100.00 you can add 5 cartridges and now have 600 MB of disk space...which can grow along with your storage needs. These may even work out well with IIeÍs, especially if using the 25 MB cartridges, which could be formatted as single ProDOS volume. So as backup, or even as a second, expandable hard drive, this seems to be a worthwhile investment. It is not as sturdy as a hard drive, however, with its plastic case, and I would not recommend it for use around young children who might decide to play with it. It may be sturdy enough, but it certainly doesnÍt have the steel case that my hard drives do.But so far I am quite pleased with the drive, and am glad to have it as part of my "arsenal" of peripherals for my IIGS. The MicroDrive Card From ///SHH Systeme ====================== The MicroDrive card is an IDE hard disk card, that is manufactured by ///SHH Systeme, the same company that created the BlueDisk card last year for the Apple II series. If you are looking at putting a hard drive in your Apple IIe or IIGS computer, then it would be a good idea to give the MicroDrive Card some serious consideration.The MicroDrive card can function in two ways: as a controller card for one or two external IDE hard disk drives, or as a "hard card" with a mounted 2.5" hard disk (portable size) mechanism. It will allow up to two 256 MB disks to be connected. It can also function as a replacement for the Vulcan and Vulcan Gold controller cards, allowing you to install newer, larger hard disks in your Vulcan. The good news about the MicroDrive card is not just the claims that are made for it regarding speed (such as booting into ProDOS 8 in 1 second) but also that the card is shipping now. This is not "vaporware"...in fact, the MicroDrive card has been sold in Germany for the past year. This is its U.S. debut.While I do not have a MicroDrive card now, I can say that technical support on both GEnie and the Internet is great! I have learned a lot about ///SHH Systeme's products just from reading posts in their category on the GEnie Apple II Bulletin Board and the comp.sys.apple2 newsgroup on Usenet.The MicroDrive Card basic package consists of: *the controller card *the installation disk with MicroDrive installer, GS/OS caching driver, installer script, icons and additional test programs *the user's manual (English language) Accessories available: *IDE 40-pin flat ribbon cable 3 ft. with two 0.1 inch plugs for standard IDE connectors. *2.5 inch mounting kit with power supply cabling, i.e. a complete set for mounting your 2.5" drive on a MicroDrive card (short IDE flat ribbon cable with special 2mm plug for 2.5 inch drives and standard 0.1 inch plug for MicroDrive IDE connector, metal mounting stripes and M3 metric screws) MicroDrive Card Prices MicroDrive Card basic package US $79 2.5 inch mounting Kit US $27 IDE 40-pin flat ribbon cable 3 ft.

Go into the local Computer City or ComputerWare, and you wonÍt find any Apple II software. However, there are many vendors of Apple II hardware and software available. To make it easier to find out where to get software and peripherals, I have compiled a listing of Apple II Vendors and publications. The list is available as an Apple IIGS NDA, as an AppleWorks database, and as a text file. It is much too large to include in the Apple Blossom, (there are more than 80 companies and individuals listed). If you would like a copy, it has been uploaded to GEnie, Compuserve and America Online. If you donÍt have access to those places, you can send me $5.00 and I will mail you a disk with the info (please specify 3.5" or 5.25" disk). Send your request and check to:Stephen Cavanaugh1117 Maple St.Wilmington, DE 19805 Coming Next Time ================ I didnÍt have room for articles on a lot of new Apple II software in this issue (and I expanded it from 4 to 8 pages!), but in the Summer issue you can look for information on the following: Quick Click Morph, morphing software for the Apple IIGS from The Byte Works. AppleWorks 5.1, the latest (and last) update to AppleWorks. The Phoenix Project, running AppleWorks on your Macintosh! Animasia, 3-D animations for the IIGS. Faxination, letting you fax from the IIGS desktop.
