I have some projects that are sort of completed and others on
the
drawing board.
Projects in Various
Stages of Completion
Projects

- Disk
II interface to modern PC
- initial
proof of
principal board is laid out and parts procured
- coding,
building and
debug is pending some spare time
- Apple

- If
you have
access to an original Apple 1 and can provide hi-res scans of the front
and back of the PCB, you would greatly assist with moving this project
forward.
- I've
