(Part 2) Top products from r/VintageApple

Went back to my OP and provided the links to Amazon below for each:

Raspberry Pi (pick a flavor but it needs to have an available USB port. Go for a B+ or Pi 3)
Install tcpser - read the docs and install his update, which has some improvements over the APT version.
sudo apt-get install screen (so you can run tcpser in the background)

Now, the hardware:

This “6 Ft Apple/Mac to HAYES Modem Cable” (Mini-DIN 8M to DB25M) link

A 6-ft DB25M to USB RS232 cable (for the RasPi/tcpser option) link

A DB25F/DB25F gender changer link

Lastly, my command line (insert in /etc/rc.local once you test):

su - pi -c "screen -dm -S tcpser /home/pi/tcpser/tcpser -s 19200 -l 7 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -tsS -i\&k0"

Adjusting for the actual path to tcpser and desired baud rate. The Plus and SE (therefore, everything else newer than these) can handle 19.2k with no problem.)

Also important: plug in the USB cable and "cat /dev/ttyUSB*" to see which USB interface enumerates - should be 0 - but check and adjust if needed.

What you're doing here is opening a screen session, setting to 19,200 bps, pointing it to listen on the virtual USB serial port, debug-level logging and disable flow control (via AT command). If you want to test without screen (and should), just delete everything prior to /path/to/tcpser.

THEN, if this is all working correctly, you need to launch ZTerm/MacTerminal/etc, set the baud rate to 19,200, ANSI if possible and save. You should be able to type 'AT' and get back a familiar 'OK.' Then it's just a matter of going all 'ATDTbbs.fozztexx.com' to get your feet wet.

I would then recommend looking into installing SLiRP on your Pi, which can provide a PPP stack for your "dial-up" machine (like any old dial-up ISP) but start simple.

Good luck!

For what it's worth any ADB keyboard should do the trick, you don't need a particular one or even an Apple one. I don't know how easy they are to find, but there were third parties that made ADB peripherals. I happen to have one identical to this which was made by Adesso.

Frankly you can probably find an Apple produced ADB keyboard on ebay now and then for about $20-30.
E.g.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Design-Keyboard-M2980-With-Cable/183362245115
^ this one is a really good deal imho.

Searching with different keywords can help a lot, for example:

• adb keyboard
  
• apple adb keyboard
  
• <insert keyboard name here> (e.g. apple design keyboard)
  
• <model number> (e.g. M2980)

I got an Apple IIGS at the Garage Giveaway at Kansasfest two weeks ago, and since then I've been tinkering with it almost daily. I took this photo to show off the IIGS working with my Magnavox 1CM135 monitor that originally came with my Amiga 4000. My IIGS did include an AppleColor RGB display, but after using it for a week I'm not very impressed with it. The Magnavox is more vibrant and puts out a sharper picture, and its built in speakers are a huge boon for the IIGS.

To make the IIGS work with the Amiga monitor, I bought a DB9 connector and a DB15 cable, snipped off the female end of the cable, and after finding the pinouts I made a IIGS RGB to "Almost-CGA" Analog RGB Monitor cable.

I plan on using a manual RS-232 switchbox to switch between my Amiga 4000, the Appple IIGS, and my CGA-compatible Tandy 1000HX so I can have all 3 computers plugged into this monitor at the same time.

The Apple II has a composite video output - but you need an RF modulated signal for your tv. So, you can take the composite video signal to an RF modulator, like this one. If your television doesn't have a coaxial antenna input, you'll also need an antenna matching transformer, like this one.

I found this a while ago.
This is a good book, and you should be able to get it cheaply.

Pretty much all of the big programming toolkits can be found on macintoshgarden.

That one is USB. You'll need a Firewire one like this:

https://www.amazon.com/LaCie-16x-LightScribe-FireWire-300978U/dp/B000FGJVF4/

One reviewer on there has said they have it working on a G4, so odds are good for Mac compatibility.

You'll probably want this book: https://www.amazon.com/New-Apple-II-Users-Guide/dp/0615639879/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469731613&sr=8-1&keywords=new+apple+ii+user%27s+guide

I love mine, and I've been using Apple IIs for 30 years.

I have two, and they work great

Novus plastic polish is the shit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002UCYRZU/

Thanks for the quick reply, so something like this should work: https://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-03134-Universal-IEC320C13/dp/B00005113L/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498099213&sr=8-3&keywords=computer+cable ?

Looks like they use the same setup for the packaging on their other products as well, and they kept it despite changing their branding (going from blue to orange packaging). Also, looks like this site has a promotional photo that includes the computer setup they used for the packaging.

EDIT: And another larger photo of the computer setup, but with another of their products.

Yeah, unfortunately it seems to be hard-coded to maximize the system volume when it starts, and it stays that way. You could connect your headphones through something with volume control, either an audio receiver or something like this.

That’s not an actual Mac, just a design concept I believe. The picture almost certainly comes from the pages of AppleDesign: The Work of the Apple Industrial Design Group

I saw a few boxes on sale on eBay and Amazon. I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for:

ADT Pro and some floppies! http://adtpro.com

You will need a serial din to PC serial cable to use ADT.

Hosa DBK-110 Synthesizer Controller Cable, 8-pin Mini-DIN to DE9, 10 ft https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000068OER/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_B80ZDb4G5XXED

You do indeed need 2 adapters. First is 590-0831 or 922-0831, which gets you from the Powerbook to DB15, which was the mac standard 15 pin video. Attach a "Mac to VGA" adapter, and that will get you a VGA port.

First adapter shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23337
Second adapter shown here: http://www.amazon.com/Mac-to-VGA-Monitor-Adapter/dp/B00011CNVW

I'm thinking of upgrading it.
Do you know if this will work with the cube? https://www.amazon.com/WD-Caviar-Blue-WD2500JB-internal/dp/B0006MWTJW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486182337&sr=8-1&keywords=ata+hard+drive

Yeah, Apple had an official ADC-to-DVI adapter

The problem is that ADC is DVI, USB, and power in one connector
