I placed an order for ProDOS master disks, the store processed my payment but my order is still considered "pending". I used the store form to ask if there was a problem and I haven't heard back. Looking at the rest of the site it's kind of a mess. Is this store even open?

If he hasn't shipped your order yet I assume you'll need to wait until he gets back home to CA. Why don't you join the Apple II Enthusiasts group on FaceBook and you can contact him through the group and inquire about your order there if you wish? I assume that syndicomm is being run on a best effort basis. I understand how you feel, but unless you get set-up to download disk-images from the internet and make them into real disks, or get a card for your Apple II that uses removeable media like a USB stick or Compact Flash card, syndicomm is your only "official" source for ProDOS. Apple Corp don't sell it anymore. You will find everyone on the facebook group. Including some people that you may have read about in your Apple II history. Bill

It's been several years since I was in exactly the same situation you are. I waited for syndicomm, got set-up with ProDOS but then what? I tried buying Apple II programs on ebay. That was a disaster. A costly one. The disk arrived damaged and I am in Canada and the seler was in the States. For a time I corresponded with other hobbyists, also in the States and got a few disks. I looked at the time and money I was wasting. I did not want to go back to using a null modem cable but some people still do. I solved my problem by ordering a card like I described to you. Currently the CFFA3000 is the card to get but there are some others... well worth the money. They act like a big hard disk. You can make several partitions and don't need floppies unless you want to run CP/M 80. DOS.MASTER lets you run DOS 3.3. from a ProDOS volume.. It is a fairly steep learning curve but lots of guys around here have been through it, so it's doable. Bill

The problem with dealing with human beings is that they sometimes don't work as expected including and especially yours truly. Life also throws curves to people which bends the time-space continuum a great deal. Then there is the curvature of the horizon... if we all lived in a small village then you could just call over to syndicomm and ask Tony if he was ok, and how that order was coming. I know there were major life issues behind syndicomm, and I also understand how APDA eventually devolved (sort-of) when it came to the Apple II, until stuff comes on a best effort basis. Apple II users are pretty serious hobbyists. It's hard for some of us not to expect when we pay for something that we may not get it at all. In my real-life antics in business, community, and family and friends the landscape is always shifting, and I try my humanly best to be flexible. Yet some days I think that I have learned absolutely nothing about people. At least my computer either works or it doesn't. My own dealings with Sheppy and Tony have always been fine. Much to my delight. Tony is in the Facebook group. I can only encourage that people speak to him through his Facebook account if they do not get a response through email. I have my hands full of life as we all do. Results are what counts not how we think things should work. If the facts do not match ones expectations, consider an alternate expectation that satisfies ones original goal. Something realistic. Look forward... we only have a limited amount of time to play on our Apple II's. So do we spend that time restating grievances, and rehashing old problems, or move forward by accepting that something didn't work the way we wanted it to, and try to find a solution from a new perspective that satisfies our original goal? I also wanted to point out that if you were trapped in a building in an earthquake tomorrow, you might not wait patiently for someone to come and rescue you before you ran out of air. Anyway, the MicroDrive that I got from Henry Courbis at reactive micro is still working fine, even though Henry and Joachim Lang don't seem to have a relationship. Joachim will send you a Microdrive directly though. Rich Dreher is set to produce another run of CFFA3000's next fall and I get the idea that this product is very actively developed. I grabbed a couple last run, gave one to a really good guy for helping me with a difficult moral dilemma, and traded the other for a VOC. So I need to get one again for my IIgs. My Microdrive is in my IIe. Or alternately I could look at that new thing of Nivardo's. There's lots of alternate media solutions. The Carte-Blanche offers one along with its other FPGA coolness. I failed to get a new CB though. Life took over again and I couldn't spare the cash. The world economy took over this time and our canadian currency fell too low (along with other life problems). Policy is one thing when it comes to people. Public policy generally results in regulations and guidelines that end-up being enforceable in some way, sometimes as law. However, unless one wants to make a lawyer rich, by sacrificing lots of time and money, it's usually best to work at the policy level to change what needs to be changed for your particular situation. Maybe think different. Bill

I'll check out the enthusiasts group thanks. So the backstory is I'm working on a machine that survived a flood. In fact this particular machine was submerged in water for over a week before it was found and left to dry. I figured it was done but as I was getting around to cataloging damage for the insurance company I plugged it in and turned it on. To my surprise the system started up. I pulled the floppy out of the drive and found it covered in a fine coating of dirt. So I figured that the drive was shot. Very few floppy disks survived but of those that did a few of them booted. Wings of Fury - for example played fine, Mousewrite also worked fine. I have a few disks which I suspect have some of my old Apple II projects on them and I was interested in examining them but only two of the disks that survived had ProDOS on them and neither appear to have BASIC.SYSTEM. I tried getting a null-modem set up using various cables and gender changers I had hanging around. I was able to send data via PuTTY but ADTPro could see the COM port but when I attempted to bootstrap it nothing got sent. I tried a couple of machines with the same result. As I can remotely control the machine with a PR#2 I suspect the issue is either with the RX/TX library or ADT attempting to do something with RTS/CTS to get higher performance and getting fouled up because most of the cables I'm using are just standard PC modem cables which don't understand the //c's wierdo RTS/CTS wiring. As a stopgap I wrote a short program to send ProDOS over the RS232 connection. I figured that since it loads at $2000 and then executes and relocates. I could just hexify it, push it into memory throught the monitor and then do a 2000G. When it can't find a .SYSTEM file I'd ctrl/reset out then do the same with BASIC.SYSTEM. The first part with ProDOS worked to a point. However it gave me the dreaded "configuration error" which made me wonder if there was a memory issue. Built in diagnostic seems to pass. I can write a more rigorous one later when I have time. Reading the ProDOS source I suspect this is coming from the fact that ProDOS can't identify the boot path. I could patch it but I've gotten busy with other things. So I figured while I was getting other things done I'd get some master disks sent to me and I could at least examine those disks.

I think I dummied-down that last post a little too far :) Judging from the level of your response but no matter. I'll tell you what; try to get a hold of Tony and get those disks you need... they're a bargain at that price. If you don't get anywhere and you want some media, someone in here including me can eventually send you a couple of real floppies out of the knindness of their heart. I'm pretty busy, so it would still be slow from Canada, but not so expensive that I would want anything for doing so. I have blank floppies here. And the latest ProDOS from Syndicomm. I got several copies about 8 years back. I still think that the CFFA3000 would be the best thing for you, for the cost and convenience both. I used a null modem in the 80's and early 90's to transfer my Aztec C65 cross-compiled programs using Proterm and Procomm Plus on the PC side. I know ADTPro is actively maintained etc. I simply hate cables and stumbling around connecting things with my glasses falling off etc. Sneaker-Net from my desktop to the CF card is painless. So time saving too. Let me know how you make out with Tony after he gets back from KFest. Bill

This isn't an emergency or anything. I just wanted to be sure that my money wasn't just sitting there. >I'm pretty busy, so it would still be slow from Canada, but not > so expensive that I would want anything for doing so. No worries, I'll keep that in mind if Tony has issues. I'm in Toronto myself. Which means I paid a fair bit for shipping from Syndicomm anyway. > I have blank floppies here.

So no slots. I have one of these: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/8215 Which I can probably write a ProDOS driver for - it's effectively the same as the various serial drive projects around but again time is a little tight these days. > Let me know how you make out with Tony after he gets back from KFest. I'll do that thanks.

I think they meant to say OzKFest. Tony went to Australia and attended the down under version of KansasFest which was held last month.

You have options, but you will either need to chase the guy on FaceBook, or if you want 5 1/4" floppies free of charge, send me your address and I'll send the darned disks to you made on my Apple II if I can't find an extra set. Since you are in Canada, it's easy for me. Don't get all stressed out over this. I see benefit to having some of the stuff available for download and online purchase. If he gets stupid then he could just trun-off the downloads and I doubt Apple Corp. even cares about us. They may take Tony's side which is entirely likely the way life works. How much money did you send him? Bill

I may take you up on your offer later if that proves fruitless. It was $34.00 most of which was shipping. I realize it's hard to judge the mood of someone posting but I assure you I'm not really stressed about this just a little disappointed. If it was made clear that the store owner was away I would have attempted getting the disks elsewhere first.

Thanks Jeff. My attention to detail is not improving unless it is something I am programming. I seem to be better than ever at that and much more forgetful about what I had for dinner last night.
