2kCompliantMy new Apple //e Platinum has replaced my older //e in the 8 bit activities corner of our retro lounge. The color composite monitor is absolutely beautiful!

Jeff GeerlingHoping to get into some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AprilApples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AprilApples</a> fun with my Dad. I have the first computer he ever used (he bought it with his younger brother in 1979, and his brother's had it all these years until he sadly passed away last year). It's an original Apple ][, and I found out it still has the receipt, warranty papers, manuals, and full set of cassettes with software!

Scott Small 🇨🇦TIL that there’s a new A2FPGA card that supports HDMI video, sound, and serial for the Apple II (including the IIGS video modes)!<a href="https://www.reactivemicro.com/product/a2fpga-multicard/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reactivemicro.com/product/a2fpga-multicard/</a>This means the Testbench Tower of Power’s gonna need some upgrades soon… … the A2FPGA itself, for my IIGS to be able to output to HDMI … a second ADB-USB Wombat, so the IIGS can share the keyboard/mouse with the IIfx and Mac Mini … an HDMI switch, so the IIGS can share my testbench monitor with the IIfx and Mac Mini … an HDMI audio splitter, because my testbench monitor doesn't have a speaker built inand then, not only will I finally be able to experience IIGS gaming in colour, I won't have to sit on the floor to use it anymore 😂<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AprilApples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AprilApples</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/@MuseumJoe/112317325584872244" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://oldbytes.space/@MuseumJoe/112317325584872244</a>
