For offline use right-click AIF or WAV and download.ĭisk downloads take about 3 minutes and write to slot 6 disk 1. Use NO-FORMAT if your disks are already formatted (it will save you about 30 seconds). If HIFI does not work for you, then it never will on that system, use 8KFI. 8KFI is a bit slower (~15 seconds), but should work on all systems. There are four download options: HIFI or 8KFI with FORMAT or NO-FORMAT. Need help? Then please watch this video demo. get over yourself cause someone did what you could never do.Welcome Apple II Fan to the Apple II Disk Server, where you can download over 1500 disk images directly to your Apple ][ drive at 9600 BPS!!! Be sure to check out our sister site: Apple Game Server Online!. don’t let anyone hold you back but yourself.Īnd to anyone out there than cant fathom this ideal that someone made this for a old computer. I say to the maker of this board to keep it up, this is awesome. and they are to shallow to understand peoples creativity and cant fathom the endless possibility’s of people that have the gift. What it is is they are mad cause this makes a old Apple II more advanced than most modern PCs. marvel at what this can make a old computer do that some people didnt think it could. its people like that that puts a hold on so much that can be done in this world but don’t happen cause complainers like some of these posters.ĭont ask why cause its for a old Computer. i love when people make stuff like this and make it work without a hitch.Īll of these complainers complain cause they dont understand creativity if it smacked them in the face. This is amazing, this goes to show you the creativity of some people. It beats collecting shrunken heads (more or less). …to share between the IIgs and my Mac Plus… Actually, I just purchased an ImageWriter II printer… But it’s great fun to fiddle with, and it actually is a capable computer. Sure, I’ve got a hard disk card in my IIgs, but that’s not a disk image archive manager that will run images like they’re actual floppies.ĭo I use it as my primary machine? Not even close. When the disks die, I can keep writing out new floppies from disk images, sure – but a solution like this might make more sense. It’s fun (actually fun, not just wanna-be fun) to replay some of those old classics that I remember so fondly. I had a blast with my Apple //c back in 1984 and still have those disks – 95% of those 5.25″ floppies boot just fine on the IIgs. I have an Apple IIgs with hard card, but assuming this works well with a IIgs, I’ll certainly take one off of Vinchysky’s hands in short order. This feature-packed expansion card retails for $160 (for board + Bluetooth USB dongle) with an extra dongle for host PC going for an additional $10. The BlueFlash board is not shipping just yet, but should be soon. Disk images can be executed from a flash card inserted in the board’s compact flash slot, or from the board’s 512K of SRAM (acting as dual drives) after direct transfer via Bluetooth from a host computer. Communications are achieved by way of a standard PC bluetooth dongle plugged into the board’s single USB connector. This amazing piece of hardware allows data (such as disk images) to be transferred from a host machine to an Apple II via Bluetooth (wirelessly) and executed as if running from an actual Apple Disk ][ controller card in a Xilinx FPGA, driven by an on-board, 57MHz ARM7 processor. I am speaking of the BlueFlash board, a combination Bluetooth / Disk Controller / Disk Image Archive card for the Apple II. Earlier this evening I was reading posts at the 68kMLA Forums when I stumbled upon one of the most interesting retro computing projects I’ve ever encountered.
