Apple II experienced users...

Are they still Apple II experienced users alive ?

I have an Apple II 64k with z80 interface (and CPM), 2 floppies... hardware looks fine, but the floppies are dead, and the display driver too....

I used to run UCSD Pascal to write some SW and make money to pay for my living as a student... in the early 80s.

is this a II, II+, IIe or IIgs ?
I think you can get the IIgs OS online at apple. I am not sure about DOS 3.3 though -- I am sure that if you can get teh floppies with the OS all will be ok :-)

all my experience is derived from emulators (although I did code in applesoft BASIC in high school using ProDOS )

Sure thing.
My Apple ][ + (euro) still works ok and so does my bread-boarded midi interface and 8 bit sampling card inside it... I turn it on sometimes when I get into a nostalgic mood (when I get drunk and also play a lot of vinyl records).

My apple 2 sits next to my other apple 2, which is next to my Amiga, and my Comadore 64. Which is next to my atari 800. Well, not sure if its an 800... its got black keys, and three slots for RAM expantion and two cartrige slots, I think. Its been a while, folks.

The atari has a 5.25" floppy, and the amiga has a normal sized floppy.

If anyone wants these, make it worth my while and you can have em.

Oh, also got an atari game console.. can't remember its model either, but i've got probably 100 games for it.

Smile Apple ]['s

I used apple ]['s for many, many years at an apple dealer in the UK, then I moved to Silicon Valley.
You can pickup Apple]['s with language cards for about $20 here (working)

:-)

The place is called "Weirdstuff", it's in Sunnyvale about a mile from where I live. Cool place, lots of old Sun stuff, even a Next box.

I use Bernie to the rescue for OSX and it works fine, runs most of the apple ][ titles with no problem, even used to run a variant on my iPaq PDA.

:-)

Apple has all the old disk images on an FTP site, can't remember the name, but go to emulation.com and follow the links.
