<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sounds like Space Invaders to me. Once again,
I don't have this disk, but someone I talked to once had it. Don't know if
anybody here on this list still has it, but if so, we'd love to have
it!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do wish that an emulator did support the Echo
synthesizer. It'd have to be a Windows or Linux-based emulator, but if it
were to emulate an Echo card, that would give us the accessibility to Apple
stuff we want through the traditional Textalker software.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think it was either aliens or space
invaders. YOu listened to tones of the monster moving and you had to
blast him when he got close, it used the echo synthesizer.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not familiar with an Apple game called
Aliens. Could you perhaps mean Space Invaders, which was on a talking
disk of other games? If you do, I don't have that game, but I think
someone else does, or might have once been in contact with someone who
does. Guys, I'm talking about that famous Talking Disk with Talking
Writer, Typing Game and the like. I would love to have an image of
that disk!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, what people distribute in order to
share software is not ROM images but rather disk images. The Apple
used standard computer disks for its data storage. Those computers
used 5.25 inch disks which stored 140K per side, and later models used 3.5
inch disks which stored 800K per disk. In some instances, the 3.5
disks were split into two 400K virtual disks by the operating
system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ROM images for the Apple computers aren't
software, but rather the actual firmware inside the machine which makes the
machine an Apple computer rather than an expensive paper weight. The
reason people need these ROM images is to be used with Apple
emulators. Some emulators have the ROM images built in, while others
require the files.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my ex girlfriend told me that probably to
discourage me. I wanted to get a 486 so I could play the old Dick
Tracy game that supported a sound source too which she thought was
ridiculous, so she probably told me apples were to large for my computer
table so I wouldn't try to get one for just aliens. When I was
growing up I never saw the actual machine, just used the
keyboard.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Apples are not, in fact, larger than a
modern desktop. Either you misunderstood or whoever told you that
didn't know what they were talking about. Apples do contain more
parts, as the CPU itself contains no disk drives.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Apple IIe is larger than the
IIgs. Part of this is because the IIe case has to support a
built-in keyboard, whereas the IIgs's keyboard is external. The
IIc is the smallest Apple, and the nearest thing to a laptop they ever
made in the Apple II series. With the small size, however, come
some disadvantages. There are no expansion slots, so things like
the Echo must connect to serial ports on the back, of which there are
only two.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope this helps.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jayson.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hey everyone, i first used an apple in
grade school with an echo synth. My favorite game was I think it
was called aliens, and if any of you has acces to it i'd like to hear
a recording of it again and even have the rom if it exists. I
don't think it would work on an apple emyulator because i
doubt they'll ever emulate the echo, but maybe it can be made to
work. Also, is there a way to make some kind of an apple2
laptop? I've been told that apples are larger than the desktop
computers of today so i don't have the room to put one in my home for
only one game. Thanks and best wishes,</FONT></DIV>
