I really like that adapter. If you decide to make any, BMOW, let me know. I'd love to buy one or two. Replacing an aging CRT with an LCD for my Apple IIs would be pretty handy. …

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I've been using one of those "CGA to VGA" boards on my IIgs setup. (And I'm forced to be pedantic here: those boards *are not actually "CGA";…

Sorry for posting so late.
The SD needs a minimum of 3.3V, as per Raspberry Pi's use of 3.3Vs instead of 5V. Question is, what kind of adapter do you have?
At worst, I think, you…
