A2DVI: Apple II Digital Video Card

Submitted by MacFly on July 11, 2024 - 3:28pm

A2DVI_Title.jpg

Video cards for the Apple II based on the PICO microcontroller are popular for a while now. They are cheap, consume very little power, and fit on a simple Apple II slot card. And they connect Apple IIs to modern displays. However, digital displays have conquered the world: their analog predecessors long since became retro devices themselves. Nowadays even analog VGA inputs are becoming rare. Which leads to the question: couldn't we make a PICO-based graphics card for the Apple II with a digital output instead? Use HDMI to replace the VGA connector? No more analog signal conversion required?

Spoiler: yes, we can! :)

Introducing Applefritter's Search Engine: The Wild Hunt

Submitted by Tom Owad on May 17, 2024 - 12:17am

I've created a search engine, The Wild Hunt, with a focus on vintage computers. The crawling data is public and suggestions for improvement are welcome. The back end for the search engine is YaCy. I'm also watching the PeARS Project, which is planning a release of PeARS Federated very soon. Depending on what PeARS is like, we may try running both at the same time, or even switching to that. The engine could still use a lot of tweaking. When you notice flaws, please be sure to report them on the crawling page.
