I created my own Apple II Plus clone

(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.

Fascinating project.  I bet it wouldn't be too much harder to do a //e clone that way.
