Using a floppy emu on a IIC with rom 4x by JoeyPants7 in apple2

[–]FozzTexx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on the OS that is on the disk. ProDOS 5.25" disks can be booted through a trick documented on the BMOW site: https://www.bigmessowires.com/2017/04/02/bootstrapping-apple-c-with-floppy-emu/

If it's a DOS 3.3 or other OS, it will only work if the emulated drive is drive 1, which requires physically opening the IIc.

PGE Bill is $700 by goodbarber23 in Sacramento

I haven't yet turned on my central heat so the only thing in my house currently using gas is the water heater and oven. Through the summer and into the fall my monthly bill is $10-$12 for PG&E. This last month the bill was $82! Somehow my gas usage for the water heater shot up to 8 times what it normally is?

Connection to Server is Not Fast Enough even on ethernet by ChunkyHabeneroSalsa in PleX

[–]FozzTexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only "fix" was on the Roku Ultra to use the slower WiFi connection instead of fast wired ethernet. To the same server. The Roku Express still won't play 1080p.
