Well...mostly. Yesterday it looked like it was trying to boot. I was getting a ] at the bottom of the screen when I hit the RESET button. But the screen would not clear and the keyboard was not working. I should have cycled power and I would have gotten the screen to clear. Something about cold booting and warm booting. Today I fixed the keyboard, except for the space bar. And now I can run BASIC programs. I have not done much testing, but I have some issues that I need to fix. Of course, I need to fix the space bar. Also, the character K is replaced with G. Both if these are easy fixes.

I've got a backlog of projects, including:

1) Get my QRAM 1M Apple //e card tested and installed

2) build out my replica 1 Kit

3) Get 6 Apple 2s hooked together for some Music
synthesis, I've got 2 MIDI cards kits, but need
some 6850 and other chips.

I've got one Mountain Computer Music System (with light pen!)
Also have 2 Novation Apple-Cat cards now (8-bit D/A for more
elaborate sample playback.)

4) Put the 6522 on a prototype card, maybe along with
an FPGA if I can find the right kind of socket.

actually its not going to be an aio when im done but im using all the guts from one except the crt. i managed to get mine apart today and make it work with only the essentials, including the personality card and internal speakers. im using my B&W's ati rage 16mb card for the sake of not having to buy a video adapter and more graphic power. today was the first time ever that i managed to get OSX 10.0 to install and actually boot. this machine has givin me so many problems since i got it, hey it was free for a reason! lol.
