In the early eighties I owned an Apple II computer. After I bought an IBM-AT compatable computer mid eighties, I sold the Apple II and never looked at it again. But in October this year in a nostalgic moot, I bought an Apple IIe.
Having sold all my disks together with the computer, I was happy to see the online software archives available now, where I can find all kinds of software I once owned. I never guest the scene of Apple II enthusiasts is so big, and so many software is still going around after all those years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When looking for options to get the software on the Apple II, I saw several pieces of hardware developed over time. But the floppy-emu, was the only one currently available for shipping. So I bought 2 of them and I can use them as two drives like I had in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I\u2019m able to run UCSD Pascal from two drives, not needing to swap floppies for compiling. But there is still a problem. Although I was fluid in UCSD Pascal in the eighties, this is not the case anymore in 2020 it seems. All those thousands of lines of code I wrote back then, seem to be far, far away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
