[@christopherrobinson387]

Hey druaga you are my favorite youtuber and i watch a lot of youtube. I have literally watched every single one of your videos and whenever a new one comes out im always there straight away. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

[@BeastMaster69988]

[@votefortrump656]

Hello my doge friend.

[@TheLonerD]

Is this memes?

[@8bits59]

That melody will play in my soul until the end of time now. Thank you, Druaga.

[@Bobrogers99]

Back many years go, when the Mackintosh was becoming popular, I picked up a GS at a used equipment store for practically nothing and brought it into my classroom to supplement the Apple IIe that I had. My SPED kids were excited with the graphics, but what thrilled me was that I could take all my Apple II files and translate them for the school office Mackintosh. It saved me a whole bunch of retyping! It was a great machine.

[@BenEsherick]

YES DRUAGA1 HAS ADS YAY WE'RE SUPPORTING HIM :))))

[@AiurIkiza]

Yeah... 1 ad on 50 minute video... Last video i watched a bit of was 10 minutes long and had 5 ads so yeah

[@usodarou]

I'm not an Apple fan, but this is the best computer Apple ever made, and i really like it. Better than the Machintosh...

[@TobyCowles]

Lochtu Wad agree

[@kematix6887]

Lochtu Wad if u don't like apple your DOOMED...

[@matt-rq1ck]

XLR8 -_- lmao

[@amirpourghoureiyan1637]

Lochtu Wad the one with the best features but for me the compact Mac looks better

[@ItsJustMilkISwear]

the general consensus is that steve wozniak's computers were good, where as everything touched by steve hack fraud jobs was an overpriced, underpowered machine. apple chose the wrong steve, and became what they are today because of it. steve wozniak was a really intelligent guy, and that's why he didn't fit in at apple. their business model became about tricking dumb consumers into buying inferior tech, they had no interest in creating top of the line computers anymore.

[@tetsujin_144]

4:53 - Intro to the IIgs - "This will take a while. Sit back and relax." What a perfect introduction to the IIgs. Really says it all.

[@Arilith]

Just was watching a video about the IIgs, and three minutes later you upload one too! Magical!

[@tyg3rpro]

I actually own a 2GS Wozniak edition with a SCSI HDD adapter and HDD that I installed system works on, I should dig that badboy outta storage

[@robabi9577]

Nice video. You should do a video where you show all of your computers. Like a computer room tour!

[@AwesumIndustrys]

I'm a simple man. I see Druaga1, I go to the comments section to comment "I'm a simple man. I see Druaga1, I click." because I like memes.

[@KaiCheetah]

You know Druaga your one of the few KZbinrs I look up to

[@vaderarmour]

An apple product with an headphone jack? It's unheard of.

[@armanelgtron4533]

But you have to buy a new device just for stereo support! Sounds familiar...

New sub, and I gotta say I love your content. I feel like you and I act quite a bit alike when we’re messing around with computer hardware in general. If all else fails cuss a few times and try try again lol. You made my day stumbling across this actually. Thanks man!

[@MaximNightFury]

I'm just glad to finally be able to watch your videos in 720p with my new phone

[@x202e3]

Yay! More Druaga1 at 2 o'clock in the morning

Been watch it since it just uploaded, finally I finish the video What a relief

[@hiimcody1]

That's some cool stuff with those demos. Thanks for uploading them as well!

[@Hidden_Bass]

[@PLVentex]

Tfw you open youtube and you see brand new Druaga's video

[@chainedenintenloup]

Coucou du Québec, j'ai hâte à la seconde partie ^^ Good video as usual, can't wait for the next part ^^

[@MattExzy]

Notices new Druaga upload.. about a IIGS... *clicking intensifies*

[@GinMacdraugas]

You can emulate IIGS on your Android phone! There is an app called KEGS Apple IIGS Emulator on Android. It comes prepacked with Xmas demo and GS OS 6. where can I find mature themed demos?

That tour is amazing.

[@SpartacusLegends117]

hey druaga! i own an apple IIGS aswell.. do you have a spare SCSI HDD and IIGS SCSI card? i kinda need one if not, could you point me to a place that i could get them? along with the OS disks

[@tetsujin_144]

19:20 - Arkanoid really is the perfect game for the IIgs, cause Woz had previously worked on Breakout, and Arkanoid was like an overblown retread of Breakout. Also 'cause it's a game where not much stuff has to move onscreen.

[@sarahts21]

You realise that the floppy emu device is compatible with the IIGS and the SD card he puts in the bundle has a bunch of IIGS stuff on it as well as Mac right? All I'm saying is if you've the floppy emu you probably didn't need to muck around with getting ADTPro running.

[@kacpergrobelny5231]

He knows that (probably). Just wanted to make it harder.

Thanks to this video, I now know the valuable art of "clicking" a "computer mouse". Man, we've come a long way since DOS, eh?

[@thomaso378]

That song you made was surprisingly good lol

[@JonRowlison]

I used to be an Apple 2 officinato... The reason the computer didn't have built-in stereo was because of a court order. Years earlier, Apple Computer was sued by Apple Music of England (the producers of the Beatles music.) One of the results of that lawsuit was that Apple at that time could not become a music company - and it was seen that with high-fidelity sound in a personal computer that was broadcast in stereo would be a violation of that agreement. It was a simple-enough work-around. You could purchase a $10 part from Radio Shack that connected to an INTERNAL stereo sound header and just plug into that instead. In practice, however, most people who really wanted good audio would purchase an Audio Animator or a Sonic Blaster, or some similar sound card from a company like Applied Engineering or similar.

[@AvidSurvivalist]

My elementary school had these, they were all hooked up to some box that I didn't know what it was. The ones I used didn't have a mouse, the games and stuff were all keyboard based and I don't remember ever using floppy disks, we just turned them on and boom there it was.

[@Emptiness_Machine_2001]

I always get the Error Message Uninenet put-to-sleep cell clock disabled when i try booting my powermac g4 into osx. Any Suggestions what i can do?

Is 3:34 Ctrl/Open Apple/Reset?

[@TheBrainSquared]

I'm actually old enough to say I actually owned one of these.. Not in this form though.. I put a Apple IIGS motherboard into my old Apple IIe.. Oh those were the days..

[@corradokid79]

You can press Apple-Control-ESC to get the Desk Accessories menu, then RAM disk, which will show you how much RAM is installed. AppleWorks is reporting 637K free after it has loaded itself into RAM. So your IIgs probably had 768K total (512K on the memory card, and 256K built-in on the ROM 01 motherboard.)

[@HuntersMoon78]

So what does the "GS" stand for on an iPhone 3GS?

[@filipmac1545]

where do you get your retro computers

is that song gonna be released on itunes

[@andrewcassidy1790]

I have one of those ADB mice I retrofit with a modern bluetooth board, that was a fun product

in this video druaga1 actually sounds professional, wow

[@ItzZisker]

can you add video : installing windows xp on mips?

[@AiOinc1]

The bar came up slowly on the IIgs monitor because it's using a very odd refresh rate, something like 57Hz.

[@michaelfingers7726]

Druaga you should check out "mouse practice" for the OS 6/7 computers like the Mac Classic.

[@Hogdriva]

So I have a question, the IBM Ps/2 is from the same time as this... doesn't it just shrek this Apple?

[@drumguy1384]

The IIgs's processor was capable of running at 12MHz, which would well outperform the 8MHz 8086 in the original PS/2 as well as the 7MHz processor in the original Mac ... unfortunately, Apple underclocked the IIgs down to 2.4MHz to artificially give the speed advantage to the Mac. This resulted in both the Mac and the PS/2 being faster, but it didn't have to be that way. The Apple II/Mac internal war was the thing that stopped Apple from becoming the king of the desktop space. If they had just scrapped the Mac and un-crippled the IIgs it would have blown away anything IBM was doing. The Mac was inferior to both the PS/2 and the IIgs, but it was Jobs' baby and he couldn't bear losing, even if the result would have been better for his company.

[@tetsujin_144]

@@drumguy1384 The IIgs CPU could not run at 12MHz. WDC didn't produce a 65816 rated for over 4MHz until after a redesign in 1990 These fairy tales about what the IIgs could have been are just completely detached from reality. The Apple II was a popular machine, and it had some "killer apps" in the form of Visicalc and Appleworks in the late 70s and early 80s, but it was steadily losing ground to the PC. If they had made the IIgs way better than it had been, it basically would have been another Amiga... A platform which had some success before stagnating and getting steamrolled by the wave of cheap PCs in the 90s. So making a good machine is no guarantee of success. Making a successful computer platform is as much a branding and marketing problem as it is a technical one. Apple II was a successful brand but it was nearly a decade old and firmly rooted (both in hardware and in people's perception) in 1970s technology. It wasn't well-suited to serve as a way forward. After a few failed attempts at making new platforms (Apple III, Lisa), the Mac had a pretty decent initial success, and was very forward-looking in its approach, that's why it worked as a new platform. It was a fresh start without a bunch of old technical baggage (like the IIgs's 1MHz video and I/O system). Not a more powerful machine than the PC, but a different approach, and that is what made it compelling. I really don't see how Apple could have done better, unless they'd done something in 1982 or earlier, the pre-PC days, to hold on to the market they'd more or less won via Visicalc... They tried (w/ Apple III) and of course we know how that turned out.

[@drumguy1384]

@@tetsujin_144 Since that post was from 4 years ago I have no idea where I got my information about the 12 MHz chip at the time, so you may well be right. That said, I based most of my opinion of the IIGS vs the Mac on this video by the 8-bit Guy, which breaks it down pretty well, I think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZmXpZime8eAqdE

The funtime arcade thingy looks similar the the Typing Instructor game selection thing

1:45 AM I'm ready to sleep and then a new 1h long Druaga1 video, better go for a Redbull.

[@thefattmish]

Hey Druaga... another great video! Just curious... have you ever thought of doing an intro session to your videos? I know it's not normally your style but I'd be interested in seeing your take on an intro. Anyways, like always, great work!

Why is it that whenever I'm looking for a video on something, druaga does it the next day?

C'est la belle nuit de Noël La neige étend son manteau blanc Et les yeux levés vers le ciel, A genoux, les petits enfants, Avant de fermer las paupière Font une dernières prière. Refrain: Petit papa Noël Quand tu descendras du ciel Avec des jouets par milliers N'oublie pas mon petit soulier Mais, avant de partir, Il faudra bien te couvrir, Dehors tu vas avoir si froid C'est un peu à cause de moi Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève pour voir si tu m'a apporté Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêve Et que je t'ai commandés Refrain Le marchand de sable est passé Les enfants vont faire dodo Et tu vas pouvoir commencer Avec ta hotte sur le dos Au son des cloches des églises Ta distribution de surprises Et quand tu seras sur ton beau nuage Viens d'abord sur notre maison Je n'ai pas été tous les jours très sage Mais j'en demande pardon Refrain L,AMITIÉ C,EST COMME LES ROSES, CELA SE CULTIVE PLUS ONT EN PREND SOIN PLUS ELLE GRANDIT L'amitié, cette chose si chaleureuse qui vous transperce le coeur de tendresse comme le chaud rayon du soleil. Une fois cultivée, l'amitié vous paraît aussi douce qu'une caresse à laquelle on aurait ajouté chaleur et bonheur. Avec les années, l'amitié s'épanouit telle une fleur et devient à nos yeux la récolte de notre semence.

8-bit guy has a very good video on why the Apple IIGS was superior to the original Mac in every way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZmXpZime8eAqdE . The IIGS was an Apple II in name only. It was an entirely new platform. It accomplished backward compatibility through the use of an Apple IIe SOC (the same chip was later used on an add-in card to give the Mac line backward compatibility to the Apple II.) The IIGS's processor was more efficient and capable of higher speed than the Mac (though it was deliberately underclocked to avoid competing with the newer Mac platform). It could support twice as much RAM as the Mac. It had 8 expansion slots to the Mac's zero. It had better sound processing than the Mac, networking capability ... and did I mention, it had a 4000+ COLOR DISPLAY? The Mac was black and white, not even grayscale. To top it off the IIGS was cheaper. Even when you factored in the cost of a monitor it was still $1000 cheaper than a Mac. 8-bit guy suggests, and I agree, that the Mac was possibly Apple's biggest mistake, aside from losing Woz (IMO). The internal war at Apple between the Apple II team and the Mac team was really all about Jobs' ego. The Mac was his baby. It was meant to be a low-end consumer device side project. He insisted on turning it into an ultra-expensive yet underpowered flagship that was easily outperformed by Apple's other projects. This set the stage for pretty much every aspect of Apple's business model since he returned to the company in the late 90s. Extremely over-hyped, over-priced, slick looking but lacking in basic features ... selling entirely on image. People think of the firing of Jobs as Apple's biggest mistake, but I think letting Woz walk away was bigger. The balance of the two Steves may have been the magic that made Apple work in the beginning, but if I had to choose one to have back I would take Woz over Jobs any day.

You should try installing android x86 on an old pc, it throws a lot of random problems at you so it would be great for you style.

Interestingly enough, the earliest SNES devkits were based upon the IIGS because of it's very similar CPU.
