It's great to see this moving along. I have both black and white hardware running NeXTstep if you need another tester. I've been using a PiSCSI when I need to be able to swap CDs, but I've never liked that I have to worry about getting the Pi OS started and shut down correctly to avoid...

It's not clear to me which board you have. Are you saying you have the ∀2 Analog VGA card from here, and not the Ralle Palaveev version of the board from here? If so, just grab the latest release and it will have everything you need.

I'm sad to say I'm not going to make it. COVID in the household, so staying home to play it safe. Have fun, everyone!

The ROM on the IIe doesn't matter. It's the drive controller card that has to support SmartPort. The one you show will give you the DB-19 connector, but I don't think it supports SmartPort. There were cards back in the day with SmartPort support, like the Apple Liron card and the VTech UDC...

You can get VGA out of a IIsi, but some DB15 converters won't work. None of the ones with no DIP switches would work for me. The only one I've gotten to work is a Griffin MacPnP. IIRC, you configure the switches for "plug and play" and it works. They come up on eBay occasionally.

The wDrive is a similar device that is slightly cheaper. The FloppyEmu has the advantage that it also works with Macs, although it requires a firmware change. That’s why I have both. I leave the FloppyEmu in Mac mode and use the wDrive on my Apple IIs. I haven’t tried one yet, but there are...

I found this discussion on AppleFritter, https://www.applefritter.com/content/unknow-apple-iis-cards Seems like it might be a license dongle for a tablet.

Installed mine today and found that it had a few dead keys. I messaged MacEffects on Kickstarter. Hopefully, I can get a replacement.

I just worked out that I'll be able to attend. My first one of these. So excited!

Yep. The internal SCSI connector on the IIsi does not supply termination power. You’ll have to power it with a Molex to Berg adapter.

Sounds great, but the link to Thingiverse doesn't work for me. Getting a 404. Working now!

I would be up for this. I’m in northern WV, and this is a bit of a no man’s land for this kind of stuff.

Using my first post to say I'd be down for buying some of the Polymaker filament. I've had good experiences with them.
