  • $4 4 chip II+?

    From Barana@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 16 16:05:10 2022
    Wouldnt this be grand, If someone did� a $4 II+ clone ...

    https://hackaday.com/2018/07/28/the-4-z80-single-board-computer-evolved/

    � All the code is hanging around on emulators,

    �market it as the period correct arduino/rpi of the day.For today.

    A retro arduino you can hook up to an av tv ...

    the advantage of a II+ is when the hardware goes wrong, you can
    troubleshoot the individual chips..

    This only has 4! replace a $1 chip to get it going again.

    �Images on sd, selectable,like a virtual smartport volume
    subsystem,virtual slots with 'card' imagefiles selectable too. A
    whole board row with pin headers,

    user inserts a 'mousecard' , instructions coming onscreen connect
    pins 3,4,5&6 to a usb mouse.

    dont want av video? insert a hdmi virtual card!

    foss libraries for card implementation,

    just like arduino

    Its own comp.sys.applepi newsgroup , Emai//er newsgroup client
    preloaded and ready to go,

    a2pi libraries to emulate a lancegs/uthurnet/II 'card image' with
    an arduino ethernet header connectable to gpio pins�


    sold as an educational tool. Arduino hacker community meets a][ +
    =applepi

    bringing a young generation of II users into the community , with
    access to all apple II programmers dox and comp.sys.a2piprogrammer


    One massive advantage over arduino system hacking.


    one word,� Total Replay.


    build it then enjoy it.

    Synergy of Development activity.



    Grand.

    If you look at Insight->Networks you can see commits to other forks.
    Which is only this guy trying to get it working on a (supposedly much faster) Teensy 4:
