Latest find in the e-waste dumpster at the town transfer station. Sure, I'll take another CRT. #dumpsterdiving #vintagecomputers

Finally tested the trackball while confirming the repair on the joysticks. It's kinda fun to play Galaxian with, but Dazzle Draw uses joystick angle to determine cursor speed, not position.

Anyone know of Apple II programs that map joystick movements like a mouse?

PSA: Many modern laptops have strong magnets in their cases for holding the lid closed. Floppies do not like being next to said magnets.

Just teasing my Swyft card vs Canon Cat setup. My friend wants me to make a video comparing the two. Any interest?

That's a Radio Shack DuoPhone btw

Does #appleii do anything?

I wired up an extension for the Apple II joystick port with a ZIF socket. Should make testing these joysticks far less painful.

An Apple II trackball. It's really just a joystick so it has limited range potentiometers for both x and y axis. Probably garbage for games, but I'm hoping it works well for drawing tools.

Un-modifying two Apple II joysticks. Someone rewired them for an Atari. I think. Anyway, going back to (mostly) stock.
