| Apple IIe card and FloppyEmu | |
| Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2022-04-01 14:57:54 Hi, I’m unable to boot my ”emulated” Apple IIe from any floppy via FloppyEmu, no boot device error. Any ideas ? | |
| Posted by: mg.man on 2022-04-02 03:56:37 Sorry for obvious question... is the FloppyEMU connected to the "Y" cable? | |
| Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2022-04-02 05:19:20 Yes. Original Y cable | |
| Posted by: GerhardNL on 2022-04-02 05:38:06 Are you sure you load a 5.25” image? I recall the 3.5” are not supported as the Floppyemu emulates a 3.5 drive that’s not supported bij the IIe card | |
Posted by: mg.man on 2022-04-02 05:39:18YesOK, sorry to ask the obvious. Doesn't the FloppyEMU need to be in "SmartDisk" (or something like that) mode? I don't have mine in front of me to check the various Apple II modes... | |

I recall the 3.5” are not supported as the Floppyemu emulates a 3.5 drive that’s not supported bij the IIe cardOoo... interesting... I thought the IIe card did support those. Of course, the other option is to load the diskette image onto the Mac and point at that from the IIe control panel... I believe that's possible? | |
| Posted by: GerhardNL on 2022-04-02 05:44:09 Yes, I believe it does! | |

Of course, the other option is to load the diskette image onto the Mac and point at that from the IIe control panel... I believe that's possible?No. I think is not possible to use disk image on IIe card. But I could connect floppyemu on Mac floppy. Then apple IIe card can access it. | |
Posted by: GerhardNL on 2022-04-02 06:26:02No. I think is not possible to use disk image on IIe card. But I could connect floppyemu on Mac floppy. Then apple IIe card can access it.Aah, you mean the internal connector, right? | |
| Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2022-04-02 06:32:32 Exactly. The apple IIe board can take over the Mac devices | |
| Posted by: mg.man on 2022-04-02 08:07:33 Have you consulted this - https://www.apple.asimov.net/documentation/hardware/machines/Apple IIe Card for Macintosh.pdf It looks like there is a 5.25 drive "option". I believe the IIe card defaults to SmartPort? The FloppyEMU needs to be in the matching "mode" I believe. Can you do a DIR of the diskette when mounted? | |
| Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2022-04-02 09:20:10 If I recall how to use Apple IIe 😅😅😅 | |
| Posted by: GerhardNL on 2022-04-02 09:55:13 I also recall you need to have the specific firmware for Apple II installed on the FloppyEmu. It’s a different one than the Macintosh firmware. | |
| Posted by: bibilit on 2022-04-02 10:58:45 Been a while for me, never used a floppyemu either. You can use the Macintosh floppy or any smartport connected to the Logic Board. The Apple II file can be used directly from the hard drive, the file will be handled and the Apple II mode will kick in ( double clicking the file) The icon is different. No image is usable, the real thing. | |
Posted by: GerhardNL on 2022-04-02 11:10:18Been a while for me, never used a floppyemu either.A ProDOS partition on your hard drive, that is. Right? | |
Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2022-04-02 11:56:04I also recall you need to have the specific firmware for Apple II installed on the FloppyEmu. It’s a different one than the Macintosh firmware.Yes. I have put correct firmware | |
Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2022-04-02 11:57:31A ProDOS partition on your hard drive, that is. Right??! Been a while for me, never used a floppyemu either.oh. Really ? It sounds odd. How it would recognize the image. Should I set type/creator ? | |
| Posted by: bibilit on 2022-04-02 12:11:19 The Prodos partition is an option, not mandatory. Any Apple II file will be detected. See my previous post. Apple IIe cardJust collected an Apple IIe card. Complete including the drive and Y cable. I am not an Apple II guy, can i use the LC floppy drive to load Aplle II games (so using the LC to fill the gap) ? Thanks.
