c0op3r Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) I have been working on a Apple IIgs project, I am calling it IIx after the original project name for the IIgs. I figured I would post it here so that people can see that neat things can be done with this old hardware. Machine Started out as a //e to IIgs upgrade kit. I removed the original //e case and keyboard and replaced it with a IIe Platinum case and keyboard. I created my own badging and mounted the controller switches for the CFFA 3000 card in the lid. I also replaced the battery with a brand new Lithium cell. Machine has the following installed: CFFA 3k (USB cable remotes the USB drive to the rear of the machine) AE TransWarpGS accelerator card A2 Heaven 8megRAM/ROM card AE Sonic Blaster Audio card Uthernet II Network Interface card I have not worked out what I am going to do for a monitor yet, but I have something in the works for a VGA adapter and a modern VGA monitor painted to look period correct. So anyway here are some photos: Edited March 7, 2017 by c0op3r 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
