@@saganandroid4175 I think most of us enjoy the channel regardless but like the variety it adds to the content. Brought to you by PCBWay, and we all know PCB stands for Perfect Channel Balance.
Ok... Confirmed: my favorite YT channel. Guilty dogs, squeeky sonuds, PCB Ways, good music, Lady “repair wizard” fractic, Ashley and soooo much going on.
Playing Frogger w/Mum... rofl. Nice fix Lady F. Excellent squeeky screw sfx everyone. Definitely "emew". Your computer room looks really colorful and excellent. Excellent video, once again.
I just LOVE that you involve your dog as you doo, the PUPPY FRACTIC!! watching this episode with my puppy DEX!! - (and he really looks at the screen..:) and you have a lovely LADY FRACTIC wife too!
I was thinking "must be the heads that have not lifted or something" - always a relief when it's something as easily fixed as write protect sticker. Glue and plastic tend to cause a lot of problems as age sets in.
You should make a video repairing, cleaning, etc some old hardware with no talking, only tools and brush sounds. Very ASMR. That said, it was great to see Ladyfractic doing some work on old hardware. Awesome video!
@@thegenerousdegenerate9395 I guess that was chromatically aberrant from the get-go. The game itself is a poor port, not my opinion, generally acknowledged to be so. ua-cam.com/video/CBW3zYTk-_c/v-deo.html
I played the heck out of that Frogger port on my Apple II+. It was one of the few games I had because back then, my software choices were limited to whatever I was able to copy from my friends. I did manage to build up a decent game library, though, most of which still works today! 👍
Brings back great memories of when I repaired Apples and Commodores. I used the alignment disk and the hertz wheel on the disk drives. The hertz wheel worked best with a fluorescent lamp that I kept on my workbench. Another winning video. ; )
Thanks for the video. I still have my original Apple II. Back in the day, it took over two years for the "WOW factor" to subside. Which for me meant that every single day for over two years I was totally obsessed with the Apple II. I literally spent 6-8 hours per day sitting in front of it discovering what it could do, or playing games, or programming, etc. It was a bottomless pit...lol
Hello, could you please tell me where you got the drive belts from? I have a model like the one you repaired and am in need of the belt. There are the Shugart models and then there are the ones that you got, non-Shugart. Can you please divulge your source for the non-Shugart belts? Thanks in advance.
I'm loving the new, "Dynamic"; The regular addition of Puppyfractic and Ladyfractic make your shows un-missable, "Must-See-TV"! Good job! ... oh, and thanks! :-) xo
Well, live and learn. I use computers since the 80s and first time I heard of calibrating a floppy drive. Thank you very much. I have to say you two are quickly becoming my favorite retro hardware channel. Intelligent, funny, relaxed and easy on the eye. (it never hurts). 14:52 I bought this product a few years ago, thinking it would be great for showing items when doing videos. POS. Fun video. And yes I know I have fallen behind.
As an Australian, I feel as though I have the authority to make a ruling on the pronunciation of 'Emu'. I have to say that Perifractic pronunciation is correct, but we still love Ladyfractic anyway. :)
In America we also say Emu (ee-myou) as Perifractic. Not sure where she learned how to say it (ee-moo) lol. When I was a kid I worked in a safari (at an amusement park) where the emu would come up and try to steal the disposable cameras as I was reading the Bible. lol
Great video, thank you so much! Opens totally new perspectives but where can I find such a serial to USB cable for the IIe as shown at 15:29? I googled and searched Ebay, could not find anything :(
Also with the contact cleaner I like how you didn't say it is WD40. That is just because it is easy for someone to make the mistake of trying to use the penetrating oil they are more known for. That might make a mess and even cause damage to a lot of things. I wonder how well that contact cleaner compares to DeoxIt.
I just pick up from a local person a working apple iic, monitor and printer for $250. I pretty good price. And I thought I bet RR could help me figure out how to get some games on this great machine. Love your show :). And voila! Not sure how I missed this video as I am sure I have watched most of them. thanks again :)
The rights holders have asked me not to make my archive available as it is still their intellectual property. I can share how I got it working. Thanks also to Dan Wood and John McDermott. 1. Download the Workbench 1.3 LHA from WHDLoad official site. Note this is just a wrapper and doesn’t include WB itself. 2. Extract the LHA on a real Amiga or UAE, copy your working Workbench 1.3 entire file system into it, then archive it all back to LHA format. 3. Edit the xml file that you extracted onto your USB drive from RGL website and add Workbench there with a name that matches the Workbench LHA. See other entries in the xml for the correct format. Programs must be in there to work. Hope this helps! Perifractic
used to work in ComputerLand and sold computers as well as repaired them. I would check the timing of those drives when you replace belts...there can be some drift from the correct setting. Just an idea! ok, just heard on the video and that you were going to calibrate.
awesome. yeah I always adjusted via the timing marks with a fluorescent light. BTW if you want to use Locksmith to create copies then you should tune your drive down to about 280rpm instead of 299. The slower rotation rate allows time for writing longer tracks, and lots of disks were copy-protected by writing tracks that were longer than could be written at 300rpm. 280rpm-written disks will still read fine in a 300rpm-calibrated drive.
Does the emulator work with all classic Macs? Like, for example, could I run all the software from the emulator on a Mac SE for example? Even Lisa software and the rest?
I think I don't speak for only myself when I say "we'd like to see more bloopers!" 😁 Awesome video once again. Lady Fractic really adds some extra flavours to the recepodes. It's fun to see this kind video making. Keep up the awesome work. I'll keep watching the awesome work! 😁 👍🏼

Dead worm? You'll regret that! Fun and informative, I loved it - even the silent screw. ;) Oh, and there seems to be something wrong with your transporter beam at 13:11 :D
At 6:08 I noticed there are two sets of black bars going around the drive spindle. Is this for measuring drive speed on both 50/60 hertz machines with a strobe tester? [edit] LOL, why didn't I just wait until the end of the video??
Well done! Great show! But now you're just messin wit me! NO WATCH?!?! I'm sticking with the clone theory as a clone might require some sort of wireless information exchange to convince us that she was indeed Ladyfractic! Seriously, good show. We got drama (sad when Puppyfractic was guilty, happy when it wasn't his fault ; sad when floppy was damaged, happy when it was just the wright protect), education (differences between belt and rubberband; emoo / cow, emu / bird, and emew /cat; contact cleaner and contact lens cleaner; bottoms up and bottoms down) and maintenance information (calibration with screen or moving bars). I always enjoy. Thank you. JT
great love the channel and dude just between you and me incase you hadn't noticed, ladyfractic is not just smart she's a real hotty, back to a more serious note I really enjoy watching the pair of you repairing and using these wonderful old machines I've been using computers and playing video games since the seventies so you bring all those memories flooding back thank you both and just keep doing what you do.
Thank you so much. It means a great deal to hear from you. So glad you like what we're doing. Nostalgia for the win! 🕹️🎉 And thanks for pointing out her hotness; I hadn't noticed 😉
When I first found out that I could download games from the Internet to an Apple //e via my iPhone and an audio cable, Frogger was the first game I tried. Thank you for the USB-Serial link. ADTPro over the audio interface is neat, but it sure is slow.
I traded my Disk 2's for 1/2 height teac direct drives, when I had an Apple 2+... also had a zip chip & cider 20MEGABYTE hard disk... Ran it until I needed to upgrade for college courses I was taking. Then I got an Amiga 2000hd.... didn't run windows until 1998 :)
Nice bass screw.. but the silent screw didn't want to stay silent going back in....odd. Also the 80s.. back when you could use the same two screwdrivers for everything... even your Apple.... and ahh.. the sweet sound of Apple II frogger music... Also the last game makes it pretty clear that the apple had to use its cpu to toggle a bit to make the sounds.
