(First of all, I can't believe I've been a member of this forum for almost 21 years!)
Haven't posted in a long time but since this forum was such an early influence for me I wanted to share my project. I have a real Apple II Europlus, but it's a bit bulky and not 100% reliable. I dreamed of something neater and simpler that I had a better unstanding of.
With the Apple II VGA card I reliased that took away half the complexity of an Apple II - really all you need is the 6502, enough RAM, the ROM in the right place, and a few chipd for address decoding and you've got a compatible Apple II clone!
Here's some pics of my project. I've published all the files on GitHub too if anyone's interested.
A lot of effort and a very good project as a comunity member thanks for all the hard work.
A very clever idea and exceptional execution! Thanks for sharing!
And if you have an extra PCB could I buy it?
Fascinating project. I bet it wouldn't be too much harder to do a //e clone that way.
Sure, PM me and we'll see what we can do! Postage will be from the UK though...
Someone has, and they published it right here ;) https://www.applefritter.com/content/uncle-bernies-replica-2e-ww-prototype-apple-iie-replica
Very neat and beautiful project! Congratulations.

I have communicated with Uncle Bernie on numerous occasions. I would love for his project to reach release soon, but it is still in progress. There is no PCB you can get yet. When it does become available though it will be something great.
This is super cute and I want one. Probably can't afford it, but still...
Does anyone have a source or part number for an Apple II-compatible power supply connector? (The 6-pin male part that solders to the mother board.)
I found a couple at Digikey, but the shroud doesn't look right:
molex 0039281063 (Digikey WM3802-ND)
Amphenol Minitek Pwr 4.2
vertical TH header 10127820-0622LF
Digikey p/n 609-6273-ND
Thanks
You may have a look at DigiKey Part Number A14207-ND.
The plug ist listed under A14113-ND.
Thanks for the part numbers. Certainly looks right - I'm just amazed that the socket is $14 each.
