Hi everyone,
Yesterday I bought an Apple II plus, it is a European model, but the label is for a regular plus, not the europlus. Possibly an early model?
But unfortunately, it is missing the character ROM. It is a rev 4 board, so it uses a 2513 ROM instead of a 2716 like in later models.
I have tried to use a 2513 from my apple I replica, and it does show some signs of life. I can blind type a basic program and that seems to work,
but the characters are wrong because I think the character set is different.
I did find an 2513 to 2716 adapter on GitHub, But I'm not sure if this could work.
I need some advice what to do next, is it best to buy an original character generator or possibly make an adapter, so I can use a 2716?
