|

Here is the sale brochure of the Dynatyper, a strange and obscure printing device launched in 1980:
|
||
|
||
Dynatyper is a new typewriter interface system designed to generate hard copy directly from computer output through any electric typewriter. It exploits the high quality and use of full upper and lower case characters of your electric typewriter. Users of small computer systems can now expand those systems into applications demanding high quality text, such as word processing.
|
||
|
||
Consisting of an array of coils positioned in the same pattern as the typewriter's keyboard. These coils are wired into an electrical decoding matrix. Designed to operate on voltage available from standard computers, the Dynatyper is easily installed without modification to your typewriter. Adjustments for different key heights are easy.
|
||
|
||
Rochester Data provides interfaces and software for the **TRS-80 Level 1 & 2**, the **Apple II** and also a 6 bit **parallel interface** for general operation with other computers. The same interface board can be modified by jumper selection to eperate in any of the above modes...

How to remove Cards
|
||
|
||
Remember the Slot!!\
|
||
Grasp the sides of the card with your hand and pull, be careful! NEVER WIGGLE THE CARD FROM SIDE TO SIDE!!! Rock it BACK AND FORTH. Carfully. Do NOT FORCE IT! You should never tocu the golden 'teeth' on the bottom of the card; this can distort data that is transferd through them or ruin the card forever. When you put the card back in, do the same manuver as befor, but push (not too hard). The components (all that stuff) face away from the power supply. Sometimes there is a label that show you where it should face.

Want to see if you Apple IIe Platinum is in tip top shape? Simply press Control-Option- Reset\
|
||
Patterns will appear on the screen and will stay for a few moments as the machine searches for any problems it has. If you hear a sound and see the messege
|
||
|
||
System OK
|
||
|
||
Then great!
|
||
|
||
If not, the problem may be one of the cards inside. Open the Apple IIE and CAREFULLY remove ONE card at a time and run the test. Repet the process with each card, one at a time. This is a great way to look for problems with your Apple IIe Platinum. Good Luck!

If you need a monitor for your Apple IIe Platinum you can use a television. Yes that's right! All YOU need is a TV or a VCR with the yellow, red, and white cords. These can be found in any electromic store where a TV can be purcahased. What you need is the YELLOW cable. It hooks right in to the IIe platinum and connects with the\
|
||
TV/ VCR.\
|
||
What you need\
|
||
-A Yellow Video cable\
|
||
\- A TV/ VCR with the RED, White and Yellow jacks.\
|
||
Look at the "rear side" of the Apple IIe platinum and in the lower left hand corner farthest left is where the jack pluggs in.
|
||
|
||
Good Luck!

When you want to add a device like a floppy drive and the 12 slots in the back are empty, you'll need a controller card. Other devices like- Printers, a mouse, RGB moniter, etc, must have this too.\
|
||
A printer or modem you need a Super Serial card made by Apple. These ar't made any more but can be found on EBAY.COM

This was the last version of the Apple II series that was first released in April 1977 and finally discontinued in mid 1993, making it the only home computer in production for more than 15 years.
|
||
|
||
The major difference from the previous Apple IIe versions is that the keyboard had been redesigned to be functionally equivalent to the keyboard of the Apple IIGS. The new keyboard incorporated an 18-key numeric keypad including two programmable function keys and cursor control keys.
|
||
|
||
The Platinum also had a new light-grey coloured case, a new motherboard design with a reduced chip count, and included a revised owner's manual, a guide to AppleSoft BASIC and two double-sided training disks.
|
||
|
||
Finally, the IIe was shipped with the Apple 64 KB / 80-column upgrade card already installed.
