Hi Rich,
I am a collector these days so I have nearly all of the Apple ][ systems.
My Apple card collection includes:
Several memory expansion boards (slot 0)
Apple SSC (Slot 1)
Hayes Micromodem ][ (Slot 2)
Videx and ViewMax 80 Col Cards (Slot 3)
Videx keyboard enhancer
Sweet Talker
Z80 MicroP. Card
8080 MicroP. Card
RamFast
ROMCard (512K version)
Gibson light pen
Clock Card
Video input Card (snapshot)
Apple Mouse (Slot 5)
Early and late Disk Drive cards (Slot 6)
WildCard (Slot 7)
EPROM Writer (2 types)
Lots of prototypes,
?and now, yours! (CFFA)
In the early 80's I was involved in hardware development for the Apple ][+, but nearly everything I did was a day late and a dollar short of an early introduction into the marketplace. I have a great developer platform made in the image of an original Apple ][+ that is completely stuffed with gold-plated Augat sockets and a 65C02 processor. This is what I used for all my hardware development work.
Now, I'm looking to get back into some of those unfinished projects and bring the original Apple back on-line. Currently, I am interfacing a Lantronix Co-Box ethernet interface with an Apple Super Serial board to gain ethernet connectivity to any Apple ][. I am also interested in the possibility of making your CFFA work under DOS. (I know that will take some doing.) It's exciting to see others doing this as well. I hope to see more of this in the near future.
