BigBadBiologists BigBadBench | Let's build the SPIISD (Apple II smart port to SD card drive emulator) @BigBadBench | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I just purchased the SPIISD kit from Kero's Mac Mods. This is supposed to be a super easy (and relatively cheap) drive emulator for the Apple II series. Let's build this thing and see what Apple II systems we can get it to work on. We have an Apple IIc, Apple IIe, and Apple IIgs at our disposal. Let's see if this builds and works as easy as it is supposed to!

This is a Mac Classic II purchased as part of the #Sour16 compact Macs. It had bad cap corrosion. I havent been able to fix it and it has a weird boot pattern that I havent been able to figure out.
See the problem in this short:

I I have swapped almost every chip on this board... except the CPU. Lets see if swapping that fixes it.
