Apple ][ history – Nibble magazine
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/16
I recently found some old magazine issues of my early programming escapades. It reminded me of the really old days where – as a school kid – I tried to buy Nibble magazine at a regular base. It was expensive (I think it was around 8 Dutch Guilders (or NLG) – close to EUR 4 – which was a lot for me, though less expensive than diskettes that were like NLG 10 each).
But it was fun as the magazine focussed at computer programs and programming transitioned my life. From Integer Basic via AppleSoft Basic (and various smaller attempts in FORTH, MuSimp, LISA Assembler and LOGO) to Turbo Pascal on CP/M.
Recently I learned that all issues (16k pages total!) have been scanned and OCR-ed and can be obtained on DVD for a modest price. Even better: all their software is available for free.
Just follow these links:
For some history:
- Nibble History [WayBack]
- Apple II History » 20-Magazines [WayBack]
- Apple II History » 21-Magazines, cont. [WayBack]

On my buying list: The WOZPAK Special Edition (1978 Apple I/II materials digitally enhanced)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/27
At USD 50, this seems like a bargain for Apple I / Apple II lovers.
From the The WOZPAK Special Edition – Overview page:
In 1978, The WOZPAK was a 300 page technical manual produced by Apple Pugetsound Program Library Exchange. The poor resolution of copy machines and fax machines of the era made The WOZPAK an illegible and challenging to use collection of handwritten and typed notes. This collection as a whole was provided to the A.P.P.L.E. by Apple Computer, Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak and then company president Mike Scott.
…
Thanks to the encouragement of a number of computer industry legends, and the efforts of Apple historians, Brian Wiser and Bill Martens, we now have a completely refurbished and dramatically enhanced version of The WOZPAK. The WOZPAK Special Edition comes complete with the original materials from The WOZPAK and The WOZPAK II as well as some new materials provided by Apple legends from their personal libraries.

Apple Mouse – some links
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/10
Slowly completing my Apple II collection, I wanted to buy an Apple Mouse.
Well, that turns out to be a tad complex, as there are various models that are more or less compatible with some of the Apple computers from the mid 1980s.
- Apple Mouse – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
- View topic – Apple Mice differences? – 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Forums.
- Vintage Hardware for The Apple IIe Apple Mouse | eBay.
- Apple II Mouse Interface Card 670 0030 1983 Works | eBay.
- Vintage Apple Mouse II for IIe with Card | eBay.
Mice aren’t the only problems with old hardware: drives and disks die.
Maybe this is a solution:
