Personalia

An Apple Enthousiast since 1983 when we first obtained a bare Apple II logic board for which we (me and my dad) created a custom case. At the top of my collection I had several Apple ]['s and ///'s, a whole bunch of interface cards, several ProFiles and meters of software. Unfortunately this has been given to others in the past.

Currently I have a few (obtained a few years back) IIgs's, 3 working //c's and a Macintosh Colour Classic.

Right now I am working at a school in The Netherlands as ICT Coordinator.

Projects

The Apple II is a renewed hobby of mine and I have set my self to the following projects

Apple ][ Slot connector symbol and footprints I designed for

(These are hosted from my own website)

kicad

Eagle

Apple ][ Multi Media Card (MMC) Mass Storage card

Current state:

Board - Preliminary board design is done and a few bare boards have been ordered. CPLD implementation is incomplete, I still lack some knowledge of VHDL to get some basic signals to work.

ROM - A basic ROM has been had working with a breadboard like environment

My goal is to create an expansion card which uses the Multi Media Card SPI interface, based on the SPI65/B by André Fachat (which in turn is a VHDL reimplementation of Daryl Rictor's 65SPI.

Apple Plotter pens replica

Current State: At the moment this project has halted as I am trying to understand how to make "shell-like" models/objects this small using the 3D-printers we have at our school
