Description: Please note that this card is for an Apple IIe only. See my other listing for the Apple II and ll+ card. Have awesome sharp graphics on your Apple II or IIe computer! This VGA card uses open source software on GitHub designed by Mark Aikens. I flush mounted the Pico microcontroller and mounted it on the edge of the card for easy software updates. If you are unfamiliar with the Pi Pico board it is very easy to update software on it. All you do is hold down the white button on the board and plug it into the USB slot on your computer. The Pico will look like an additional drive on your computer and you just drag the software over to it. This card has multiple monitor modes built in. The default is the Apple II color graphics with NTSC artifact color. By just entering the proper POKE statement at the Applesoft Basic prompt you can change to soft monochrome mode to remove the artifact color and look like a black and white monitor. By entering a second POKE statement you can change the screen to simulate a green or amber monitor. In a couple of the pics you can see the Stellar 7 game with the card simulating a green phosphor display. You can see in the pic the card mounted in slot 5 next to my disk drive card. You can mount it in any slot. For an Apple IIe all you need to add is a 1 foot male-female VGA cable and you can use the #5 cutout on the back of your computer and directly attach it there. Here is a link to one on Amazon: https://a.co/d/2HkeR3m Please see Mark Aikens GitHub page below for more details. Again, this card will be preprogrammed for an Apple IIe. In the future, if you need to change the card to work on an Apple II or II+ just grab the correct software from GitHub and just drag and drop onto the card. I also included a link to Mark's release page so you can update the card in the future when software updates come out and there is also an awesome VGA utility program in .dsk format that you can load onto your Apple to change the graphics settings and even add custom fonts and save them to the card without using POKE commands. The pcb has a gold ENIG finish. https://github.com/markadev/AppleII-VGAhttps://github.com/markadev/AppleII-VGA/releases
