| AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026 | SmartDisk IIby vibr77 and innoelement | Emulates Disk II, UniDisk 3.5, and SmartPort storage from an SD card with an STM32F411. For this system (exact model): The project matrix explicitly supports Disk II emulation on the Apple II Plus. SmartPort use additionally requires a compatible Liron or SoftSP6 interface. The project README linked a current assembled eBay listing on 2026-07-27 and also publishes a complete build path. An innoelement assembled variant showed six units on Tindie, but that page simultaneously displayed a shipping rate and said it did not ship to the United States; confirm checkout availability before relying on it. Match the board revision, bootloader, and firmware: bootloader 0.15 has an Apple IIgs SmartPort problem, and boards older than Revision 3 need a trace modification for Apple IIc or IIgs use. Use a quality FAT32 SD card with 32 KB clusters. Never connect an ST-Link programmer while either USB or the Apple II powers the board. | Project, firmware, and hardware filesSmartDisk II documentationAssembled SmartDisk IIAssembled innoelement variant |
