Whatever happened to apple.asimov.net? I've been trying to get on for the past several days, and no go.

I got a VersaWriter unit but have no documentation nor software for it. Been searching in vain online for the materials, so I thought I would ask the community here if anyone either has the documentation &/or software or know where I can get it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Ken

I just received an Apple IIGS with a ZIP Technology ZIP Drive in it. This drive has a Conner CP2044PK hard drive which will not boot (although the drive spins and spins). I've been trying to find information about this device - software, user manual, etc. - and have turned up empty-handed so...

I have an interesting (to me, at least!) card that I need documentation for. The card is marked "A//e Ext. 80 Col/RGB" and also have "(c) 1984 Video-7" printed on the front of the card, along with the part number 699-0221. I have not been able to find any documentation for this card. I did...

I'm pleased to announce a new library dedicated to the Penguin Software/Polarware catalog of games & utilities on www.Apple2Online.com. The library went online on 1-1-14. I've been working with Mark Pelczarski, founder of Penguin Software/Polarware, for several months now. We've managed to...

I recently acquired a small lot of Apple ][+ systems and, to my pleasant surprise, there was an Apple ][ in the lot, serial number 3884. There is a small article with photographs available on www.Apple2Online.com if anyone is interested in seeing it. Anyway... the system boots fine but there...

I posted a short review of my experience with the RetroConnector for the //c over in the A2OL forums: http://apple2online.com/smf/index.php?topic=93.msg381#msg381 (Hope I got that link correct....) This is a wonderful little board and is especially nice for use with a Raspberry Pi! Ken...

I'm happy to announce that Apple2Online.com has just opened another library - this one dedicated to Penguin Software/Polarware titles. To start, we have about 20-some offerings and I am working with Mark Pelczarski, founder of Penguin Software, to locate the rest and get them uploaded to the...

As some of you may already know, Neil Shapiro of CompuServe fame recently donated 400+ floppies to Apple2Online.com. I have been going through them to create .DSK archival copies to post on the system for everyone to enjoy. I went through about 200 floppies, and of those, I was only able to...

I sat down today to start work on getting some of the 485 disks that Neil Shapiro (of CompuServe fame) donated to A2OL this week. I have two CF cards - one 128 MB, the other 256 MB, that have been having serious problems in getting them to function on the CFFA3K. I'm hoping someone can give me...
