As I mentioned, I tried 3 different ADB keyboards and ADB mice, and mixed and matched them. And would not require me to load any mouse drivers myself. From what I can tell a game like zany golf loads its own mouse support. I dont understand why the mouse would not work. There was only one setting about the mouse which was about enabling a high speed mouse setting, which was enabled. I saw dozens and dozens of settings in there. I dont think I need any drivers to make it work like I did on old DOS computers and some old DOS games.Īlso, it has a memory expanstion card, and with or without the card in there the mouse still doesnt work.Īlso, I was able to go into (what I would call the control panel of the IIGS) by hitting some option key+ combination. Was hoping someone has seen this before and has some ideas about what is going on. I am very excited to have the IIGS running, but pretty bummed the mouse isnt working. It just seems like the IIGS doesnt want to talk to the mouse. I tried plugging mouse into port on back of the computer, and into both of the other keyboards I found. I had another ADB keyboard and mouse from a slightly newer Apple computer, but that mouse didnt work either. But for some reason the mouse doesnt work when I boot into something like GE OS, or a game like zany golf which is supposed to use the mouse. It boots up fine, and I played a few games on it using keyboard and a joystick too. Recently picked up a nice Apple II GS with keyboard and mouse and disk drives. But becoming more interested in other old computers from Atari, Amiga, and Apple too. I have experience with IBM PC's going back a ways. And I found this forum in hopes to find some help. The s/n can be found on the bottom side of the items.I am new to the Apple II GS (and pretty new to retro apple computers). Help us in finding how many Apple IIgs were produced by sending the serial number of your units and keyboards. While these numbers are quite impressive and Brutal Deluxe has collected many serial numbers to get to that figure, according to the Brutal Deluxe Software website, they are still collecting serial numbers: Antoine Vignau put together one of the most complete databases of serial numbers and used those to guesstimate that there were well over 2.6 million machines produced.Īpple IIgs production figures! Current counts are 2,617,184 based on the computer s/n or 931,816 based on the keyboard s/n. This site actually goes hand in hand another effort to track the Apple II gs computer, with Brutal Deluxe Software’s attempt at calculating how many Apple IIgs machines were produced by Apple Computer, Inc. During the production run of the Apple II and Apple IIgs, Apple produced machines in a number of countries as their popularity went up. The Apple II gs Decoder site literally can tell you everything about your Apple II gs and in the case of registered machines, tell you who the previous owner was and where it was made. The sample serial number from above, which is from one of the cases we have here at A.P.P.L.E., produced the following results: Have you ever wondered what the meaning of that long serial number on your Apple II gs meant? Well now, thanks to Apple II gs enthusiast Jeffery Yeary, you can know instantly what it means by entering your serial number at the Apple II gs Decoder website.
