| Help with Apple IIe card for LC, 140kb disk images? |
Posted by: old_68k on 2016-02-02 23:09:46
Hello all,
I have been trying to get the Apple IIe PDS card going in my LC575. I have adtpro working and can send over 800KB images no worries.
BUT i have a 140KB image that i think is from a 5.25" drive. I can't create it for the IIe cos i don't have a old 5.25" . Is there a utility for the 68K mac that will convert it to a 800KB disk?? Or something i can extract the files from and copy to a apple IIe partition??
I have done searching on the net... Seams like i have to buy the 5.25" floppy to get it to work.
Thanks,
D.

I've had success transferring files, but never applications. I think your best bet is to just buy a 5.25" drive. They're pretty cheap.

The Apple IIe card has no support for disk images. You can only use real floppies or a ProDOS hard drive partition. Back when the card was made, disk images really weren't a "thing" yet. Everyone had software on real floppies!

Is the IIe card something you could plug the floppy emulator up to? http://www.bigmessowires.com/floppy-emu/

Everyone had software on real floppies! Though they do not have support for disk images directly through DOS/ProDOS, there are many program utilities out there that will. The Apple II Software Library is one of the largest on the planet - title wise, second only to UNIX/Linux. You need to search the archives to find one. (If Dr. Levinson he would know exactly what program titles are out there you can use).
