Is there a way to determine the date of manufacture with the serial number? My oldest Apple 2 has a white sticker on the MB, says 1391.

Would be great to get it working again. I've found a guy that repairs most Apples, but not the early 2's.

What's wrong with it and where do you live?
There was a change to the Disk II adapter card firmware between DOS 3.2 and 3.3 that is keeping your DOS 3.2 disk from booting directly. You can use a program on the 3.3 system disk called BOOT13 that will boot your older 13-sector (i.e. 3.2) DOS disks.I'm a bit confused about why it wouldn't boot dos 3.2, but 3.3 works.
