Apple IIe upgrades

Adapts a modern PicoPSU and external power brick to the Apple II, II Plus, and IIe.

For this system (exact model): The maker explicitly lists the Apple IIe. The low-priced switch and lead are only components of the replacement and do not form a complete power supply by themselves.

Human review confirmed that the required A2 ATX core unit could be ordered on 2026-07-24, resolving the conflicting stock displays on the build-a-kit and standalone pages. The optional JCM power lead was also in stock, but it is not keyed and installing it backwards can destroy the power supply, computer, and attached hardware.

Generates digital video from Apple II display memory through an HDMI-compatible connector.

For this system (stated family): The card is sold for the slotted Apple II family. The v4.4 alternate firmware choices include dual floppy-drive emulation for the Apple IIe, but only one firmware function operates at a time.

JCM showed 22 v2.0 cards and 20 v4.4 cards in stock on 2026-07-24. On an Apple IIgs, A2DVI displays only legacy Apple II modes; 320- and 640-pixel Super Hi-Res applications do not appear on its output. A v4.4 card runs only one selected firmware function at a time.

Combines 480p HDMI output, Apple II and Mockingboard audio, and several video expansions on one FPGA-based card.

For this system (exact model): The maker reports testing with the Apple IIe. It can use any expansion slot, with slot 7 recommended, and outputs both system and emulated Mockingboard audio over HDMI.

Human review confirmed that the vendor product page offered a current ordering path on 2026-07-15.

Uses a phone, tablet, or laptop as a bridge from modern wireless controllers to an Apple II game port.

For this system (exact model): The maker lists the Apple IIe. A2io can use its 9-pin game port; the separate A2jc adapter can instead mount the receiver at the internal 16-pin game I/O socket.

The authorized ReActiveMicro listing was out of stock on 2026-07-24, and CT6502's former product URL returned 404. The maker information and manual remain available.

Connects a 9-pin Apple II joystick or A2io receiver to the internal 16-pin game I/O socket.

For this system (exact model): The vendor explicitly supports using A2jc at the IIe's internal 16-pin game I/O socket, for example to mount an A2io receiver inside the case.

CT6502 marked A2jc out of stock on 2026-07-24. The direct product page remains available for setup instructions and restock notification.

Open hardware and software platform for building Raspberry Pi Pico-based Apple II peripheral cards.

For this system (stated family): The project describes Apple II peripheral cards and documents Apple II slot signals, but its core README does not enumerate exact computer models. This IIe relationship therefore uses family-level evidence. Compatibility and required connections also depend on the selected firmware.

JCM showed 36 assembled A2Pico cards in stock with selectable preinstalled firmware on 2026-07-24. Choose the board and firmware together. The simpler A2Pico2Lite design uses a Pico 2 and omits the original A2Pico microSD slot. Unpowered USB OTG hubs can cause device problems, especially with mice.

Recreates Apple's Revision C SCSI card with termination power and onboard active termination for improved drive compatibility.

For this system (exact model): The vendor explicitly lists the Apple IIe and describes compatibility with the original Apple II SCSI Card Revision C. Use the linked ProDOS SCSI utility and verify drive ID, cabling, and termination for the complete SCSI chain.

The GGLABS Tindie store says the seller is taking a break and offers a return notification rather than a current order path. The project page provides software and technical material, but says parts of its pseudo-DMA and IIgs-mode schematic documentation remain incomplete.

Repurposes supported Raspberry Pi Pico Apple II video cards as a USB HID mouse interface.

For this system (bus/interface): A2USB emulates an Apple II Mouse Interface Card through supported A2VGA or A2analog hardware. The normal VGA output is unavailable while this firmware is installed.

A complete setup needs a supported A2VGA Revision 1.6 or modified older A2VGA or A2analog card, a Micro-USB-to-USB-A adapter, and a driverless USB HID mouse. USB hubs are not supported. Installing A2USB removes the card's VGA function until different firmware is loaded. Remove the Pico or card from the Apple II before using BOOTSEL to update firmware, and choose the PAL or NTSC build with the appropriate 50 or 60 Hz interrupt default.

Recreates the ALF Apple Music Synthesizer for composing and playing music from standard notation on an Apple II.

For this system (stated family): The vendor describes the card for an Apple II computer but does not enumerate models. This IIe listing therefore uses family-level evidence; confirm software and slot requirements for a particular setup.

The A2Heaven clone is currently listed as out of stock. The store provides an archived ALF MC1 brochure from the product page.

Rebuilds the electronics inside an original Disk II drive with a cleaner analog path, keyed cabling, write protection, and easier head access.

For this system (stated family): Use with a compatible Disk II controller and cable. The current board is factory tuned for Apple II reading; do not adjust its potentiometer unless intentionally retuning for archival imaging.

CT6502 offered the two-board set for direct ordering on 2026-07-24. The boards are not sold separately.

Recreates the Apple Disk II controller card with modern components and selectable 16-sector or 13-sector firmware.

For this system (stated family): Use it as a replacement Disk II controller in an expansion slot, normally slot 6. Verify card and drive-cable orientation before applying power.

The current CT6502 catalog offered the assembled card for direct ordering on 2026-07-24.

Recreates Apple's controller for attaching 3.5-inch Apple floppy drives to slotted Apple II computers.

For this system (stated family): The controller supports Apple 3.5 Drive, SuperDrive, and UniDisk 3.5 hardware. High-density SuperDrive media support is not implied merely by the connector.

The controller was available on backorder with an Add to cart path on 2026-07-24. The page says all Apple II computers, but the product is an expansion card; slotless IIc models are not attached without separate interface evidence.

Recreates a Passport-compatible MIDI interface for music software on Apple II computers.

For this system (exact model): The product explicitly supports the Apple IIe. It also requires a display, disk drive and controller, software, instrument, and two MIDI cables.

The store showed one card in stock on 2026-07-24. A complete setup requires a 48K or larger supported computer, display, floppy drive and controller, compatible MIDI software, a MIDI instrument, and two 5-pin DIN cables.

Adds RGBS and SCART video output to supported Apple II logic boards.

For this system (exact model): The vendor explicitly supports the Apple IIe. Installation requires the model-specific jumper or wiring configuration and internal soldering.

The kit was out of stock on 2026-07-24. Installation differs by model and requires soldering inside the computer; follow the correct PAL or NTSC instructions.

Adds Software Automatic Mouth speech synthesis hardware to an Apple II.

For this system (stated family): The vendor lists the board in its Apple IIe catalog and describes it for Apple II computers. Confirm software and slot requirements.

The assembled card was out of stock on 2026-07-24.

Moves an Apple II peripheral card outside the case for repair, development, and testing.

For this system (stated family): The extender follows the Apple II peripheral-slot interface. Use it as a temporary bench tool and observe the product's cable-length and power-rail cautions.

The extender was out of stock on 2026-07-24. The vendor warns that longer ribbon cables may cause unreliable operation; use it only with power off while connecting or removing cards.

Converts Apple II, II Plus, Europlus, and IIe video for display on a VGA monitor.

For this system (exact model): The vendor explicitly lists the Apple IIe along with the Apple II, II Plus, and Europlus. Both PAL and NTSC systems are supported, but model-specific jumper settings or wires may be required.

The scaler is currently listed as out of stock. Because Apple II revisions differ, installation may require jumper settings and additional jumper wires; use the linked manual for the exact machine.

Upgrades an original Apple IIe with a 65C02 processor and the Enhanced IIe system and video ROMs.

For this system (exact model): The kit upgrades an original IIe to the Enhanced IIe processor and ROM set. Match the video ROM to the US 24-pin or European 28-pin motherboard socket.

The current page exposed selectable computer and video-ROM options with an Add to cart path on 2026-07-24. Select the 24-pin US or 28-pin European video-ROM option that matches the motherboard.

Modern full replacement keyboard for the Apple IIe using Matias ALPS-style tactile and clicky switches.

For this system (exact model): The seller explicitly describes this as a complete modern mechanical keyboard for the Apple IIe.

The MacEffects page said Sold out on 2026-07-24. The limited-production key legends can vary in darkness; choose a frame and keycap set appropriate to the computer.

Connects a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to an enhanced Apple IIe for virtual disks, networking, Linux commands, and file transfer.

For this system (exact model): The canonical project says most development and testing is on an enhanced Apple IIe. Slot 7 is the normal tested position, slot 3 is reserved for the 80-column card assumed by the firmware, and the total expansion-card power budget must be respected.

The upstream project describes Revision 7 as a prototype rather than a finished product. Most development and testing used an enhanced Apple IIe with the card in slot 7; the firmware assumes the slot 3 80-column card and lowercase support. A Pi Zero 2 W can consume roughly 170 to 250 mA from the Apple II's 500 mA total slot budget. Revision 6 and later can use external USB power after the documented jumper change, but the firmware will hang if the Pi is not powered.

Generates crisp 640 by 480 VGA from Apple II video memory using a Raspberry Pi Pico bus-snooping card.

For this system (exact model): The IIe firmware supports 80-column text, double-lores, and double-hires. V2Retro tested A2 Analog on an enhanced IIe. HDMI conversion cables are not guaranteed to work with the store variants' VGA output.

JCM showed 36 assembled A2 VidGA cards in stock on 2026-07-24, with firmware choices for Apple II and II Plus or Apple IIe. RetroFletch's A2 Analog seller was taking a break on 2026-07-27; its published board has a critical VGA IDC footprint error, so the cable's red wire must face the motherboard. A2 Analog can also conflict with some accelerators, card autodetection, CFFA3000, and ROMX configurations. Infinity Products' SMC A][ VGA Mini was out of stock, and Laser's assembled Mark Aikens variant showed zero stock. Choose the exact hardware and firmware branch rather than treating every variant as interchangeable.

Provides ProFile-style block storage from a raw SD card for enhanced Apple IIe and Apple IIgs systems.

For this system (exact model): The project reports tests on enhanced 64K and 128K Apple IIe systems. It requires 65C02 instructions and will not work in an original Apple II, Apple II Plus, or unenhanced IIe.

The repository publishes binaries, firmware, VHDL, schematics, layout files, Gerbers, and a bill of materials, but no explicit license was verified. Capacity is limited to four 65,535-block volumes, or about 128 MB total. Under ProDOS, programs on the third and fourth partitions have a documented launch problem. This is a build project rather than a current assembled product.

Period slot memory and bootable RAM-disk card with optional expansion and battery backup.

For this system (exact model): Applied Engineering explicitly lists the Apple IIe. RamFactor uses slots 1 through 7 except slot 3 and provides slot memory rather than IIe auxiliary-slot memory.

This is the original period product, distinct from modern RamFactor-compatible cards. Used examples vary by board revision, installed memory, expander, ROM, and included software. It normally uses a peripheral slot other than slot 3; an Apple II Plus must not use slot 0. The IIgs treats it as RAM-disk storage rather than fast system memory. Verify any RamCharger, cable, and old battery hardware before applying power.

Period 3.6 MHz accelerator with a 65C02, 256K of high-speed memory, and optional 16-bit processor upgrades.

For this system (exact model): The original brochure explicitly lists the Apple IIe. The accelerator handles the second 64K bank in a 128K IIe and may be installed in slot 3.

This is a period product obtained used and is distinct from TransWarp GS. Confirm the exact card revision, installed processor, diagnostics, and slowdown behavior before buying. The brochure says it works with most DMA cards, but a mixed vintage system still needs card-by-card verification.

Programs 16K, 32K, 64K, and 128K EPROMs from an Apple II expansion slot.

For this system (stated family): The vendor states that the programmer works in an expansion slot of any Apple II series computer, but explicitly excludes slot 0 on the IIe.

The kit was out of stock on 2026-07-24. It is a tall card and requires soldering; verify physical clearance, software, and the exact EPROM type before use.

Recreates the Apple II Lego TC Logo interface card for controlling Lego Technic machines.

For this system (stated family): JCM lists Blocko in its Apple IIe catalog. The Lego 9750 interface hardware and power supply are not replaced by this card.

JCM showed 25 cards in stock on 2026-07-24. A working setup also requires a Lego 9750 Interface A with its IDC-20 cable and 9 V power supply, at least one compatible 4.5 V motor, and suitable Lego Technic parts.

Provides a daisy-chainable SmartPort hard disk backed by one to four ProDOS images on microSD.

For this system (exact model): The manual reports testing on an Apple IIe with a Liron card and separately with a Disk II controller plus SoftSP.

Joe's Computer Museum showed 33 assembled DominoDisk units in stock on 2026-07-24. The Mini BurgerDisk page also exposes an assembled selector, while the public project supplies firmware, PCB, schematic, and enclosure files for a DIY build. Follow Apple's device-order rules in a daisy chain; a Liron card cannot drive a 5.25-inch drive.

Adds CompactFlash and USB mass storage plus floppy-image mounting to slotted Apple II and Apple III computers.

For this system (exact model): The current product title explicitly supports the Apple IIe. It occupies an Apple II expansion slot and provides CF and USB-backed storage.

ReActiveMicro showed an in-stock, backorderable Add to cart path on 2026-07-24. The included media is preconfigured, but user-supplied images and operating systems still need to be compatible with the selected computer.

Connects a 20-pin IDC Apple II floppy cable to a compatible DB-19 disk port.

For this system (stated family): A2Heaven lists the IDC20-to-DB19 variant in its IIe category. It requires a compatible controller, drive, cable, and connector orientation.

The vendor page showed six units in stock on 2026-07-24. This is a connector adapter, not a drive emulator or controller; verify the attached cable, controller, and drive are electrically compatible before use.

Adds a rear-panel DB9 joystick connector to an Apple II with an internal 16-pin game I/O socket.

For this system (exact model): The vendor explicitly supports the IIe's internal 16-pin game I/O connector. The two-player adapter mode is unsupported.

Infinity Products marked the assembled adapter out of stock on 2026-07-24.

Replaces a Disk II drive's single red activity LED with separate green-read and red-write indication.

For this system (bus/interface): The store classifies the product for the IIe, but installation is in the external Disk II drive. Keep the drive and controller requirements separate.

The current page exposed assembled and kit selectors with an Add to cart path on 2026-07-24. Host compatibility still depends on having a working Disk II drive, cable, and controller.

Adds an ESP32 coprocessor with switchable composite video, 8-bit audio, and microSD-backed software to slot-bearing Apple II systems.

For this system (exact model): The seller says the card was thoroughly tested on the Apple IIe.

The MacEffects Apple II collection said Sold out on 2026-07-24. The card is not bootable: it needs a Disk II or SmartPort storage emulator, another supported block-storage card, or a physical floppy drive and blank disk. MacEffects was only the distributor and offered no technical support or warranty.

Accelerates an Apple IIe to as much as 16.6 MHz and adds fast auxiliary and Slinky memory.

For this system (exact model): The accelerator explicitly supports original and enhanced Apple IIe systems and can use slots 1 through 7. It does not prevent use of the normal slot 3 80-column card.

The product page offered an Add to Cart path on 2026-07-24. Software with cycle-sensitive timing may need the speed reduced; confirm processor, memory configuration, and slot use before ordering.

Uses an SD card to emulate Apple floppy drives and, on supported systems, HD20 or SmartPort hard disks.

For this system (exact model): Emulates 5.25-inch disks with a compatible Disk II-style controller. The Apple IIe needs Yellowstone or another compatible controller for 3.5-inch and SmartPort modes.

The BMOW store showed the assembled Model C sold out at $109 on 2026-07-27. The separate Deluxe bundle is the same emulator packaged with accessories rather than a different product family. Check the direct product page for a restock.

Adds Wi-Fi networking and platform-specific peripheral emulation to several vintage computer families.

For this system (exact model): Use FujiApple Rev1 with a SmartPort-capable controller such as softSP plus a compatible drive controller, or a Liron card. The current guide says to boot with PR#5; Disk II access is read-only while SmartPort drives support reads and writes.

JCM showed 16 Apple II base units in stock on 2026-07-24. On 2026-07-27 Lotharek offered its assembled Atari Professional version both alone and with a dedicated SIO cable. It normally takes operating power from Atari SIO and uses USB-C for firmware flashing, although the page separately calls USB-C an optional power source for the 1200XL. The project also lists other small-batch vendors and open design files. Stock, enclosure, connection, power, and required interface hardware vary by computer.

Provides selectable Apple Slinky or RAMFactor-compatible memory using modern low-power SDRAM.

For this system (stated family): The maker describes GR8RAM for the Apple II family but does not enumerate exact computer models on the selected pages. This IIe relationship therefore uses family evidence. Most software does not handle 16 MB of RAMFactor memory correctly; use that setting only with software known to support it.

The assembled Tindie card was out of stock on 2026-07-24 and had been sold out since January 23, 2025. Schematics, board files, CPLD firmware, utility software, and fabrication files remain available under the project's dual-license terms.

Adds the SoftSP ROM path needed to use a Disk II controller and SPIISD V2 in SmartPort mode.

For this system (exact model): The maker explicitly supports standard, Platinum, and Euro Platinum Apple IIe systems. Install Grappler Minus in the selected slot and invoke that slot with PR#n before using the Disk II-connected device in SmartPort mode.

The current store listed bare PCB, kit, and assembled configurations without an out-of-stock marker on 2026-07-24.

Adds a Microsoft SoftCard-compatible Z80 processor for running CP/M, with an optional turbo mode.

For this system (exact model): The current product listing explicitly supports the Apple IIe. Normal mode is SoftCard-compatible. Turbo mode requires an enhanced IIe with a CMOS 65C02; an original NMOS 6502 IIe must remain in normal mode.

The GGLABS Tindie store was taking a break on 2026-07-24, so no current order could be placed. Turbo mode requires a CMOS 65C02 or 65C816 host; systems with an NMOS 6502 must use normal mode.

Runs PCPI Applicard-compatible CP/M software on a dedicated 20 MHz Z80 with 512K of onboard RAM.

For this system (exact model): The current listing explicitly supports the Apple IIe. The card runs its own 20 MHz Z80 and RAM and communicates with the Apple through host registers.

The GGLABS Tindie store was taking a break on 2026-07-24, so no current order could be placed. This card is PCPI Applicard-compatible, not Microsoft SoftCard-compatible; choose CP/M software and disk images for the Applicard environment.

Adapts a PC-style DB-15 analog joystick to the Apple II 9-pin game-port wiring.

For this system (stated family): The vendor claims all Apple II systems. Connect only through the IIe's compatible 9-pin game-port path and use an analog DB-15 joystick.

ReActiveMicro showed the adapter in stock and backorderable on 2026-07-24. Original Apple II and II Plus computers expose an internal 16-pin game socket, so they need a separately verified 16-pin-to-9-pin connection before this DB-9 adapter can be used.

Provides a compact analog joystick for Apple II game ports, with kit and assembled configurations.

For this system (exact model): Connects directly to the IIe DB9 game port. Individual computers and joystick mechanisms can require capacitance and center-trimmer adjustment.

The product page explicitly said Out of Stock on 2026-07-24. The center may measure around 150 instead of 128, and kit builders may need to add or remove capacitors and adjust the trimmer.

Compact Apple II paddle controller offered as an assembled unit or a beginner-friendly through-hole kit.

For this system (exact model): Connects directly to the Apple IIe DB9 game port. Some two-player games require both controller 0 and controller 1 to be connected before launch.

The storefront listed economy, standard, and fully assembled configurations without an out-of-stock marker on 2026-07-24. Newer PCBs carry a correction sticker for a November 2025 silkscreen error.

Adds quiet forced-air cooling and switched or always-on IEC power outlets to an Apple IIe.

For this system (exact model): The unit is designed to cool an Apple IIe and includes its short computer power lead. It is not a surge protector, line filter, UPS, or replacement power supply.

The current page exposed color options and an Add to cart path on 2026-07-24. The unit accepts 110-240 VAC but explicitly provides no surge suppression or power filtering.

Converts Apple III or compatible Apple IIe TTL RGB to CGA-style and Apple IIgs-monitor outputs.

For this system (exact model): Requires a Video7-style RGB card. The Apple Extended 80-Column RGB Card, part 699-0221, needs a jumper on the two pins beside its video header.

The current page offered a fully assembled option on 2026-07-24. It does not work with the Apple IIc. An Apple IIe Extended 80-Column RGB Card needs the documented jumper installed near its video header.

Replaces the General Instrument AY-5-3600-PRO keyboard encoder in several Apple computers.

For this system (exact model): The Apple IIe factory key map is included, and JCM reports passing Apple IIe Diagnostics 2.1.

The current page offered jumper and socket selections on 2026-07-24. Original Apple II and II Plus support applies to non-Datanetics keyboards; Datanetics keyboards use the separate MM5740AAE replacement.

Combines SmartPort block-device support and selectable Disk II floppy-controller operation.

For this system (exact model): The vendor explicitly describes Liron Reborn for the Apple IIe. Select the correct controller mode and verify the attached drive or SmartPort device and cable.

The base controller option was out of stock on 2026-07-24; the page still offered extension cables separately. A cable alone is not a usable controller.

Lets an Apple IIe use a native DB-9 serial PC mouse with adjustable tracking and accelerator compensation.

For this system (exact model): The seller states that the card works only with the Apple IIe. Use a native DB-9 serial PC mouse and set the speed switch appropriately for an accelerator above 5 MHz.

The MacEffects page said Sold out on 2026-07-24. It only accepts native DB-9 serial mice: PS/2 conversion, dual-mode mice, and the Apple M0100 are unsupported. It is also incompatible with the BMOW Yellowstone card.

Combines two Mockingboards, one ALF music card, and four S.A.M. DAC channels on one Apple II audio card.

For this system (stated family): The vendor lists MEGA Audio in the Apple IIe category and says it can be installed in any Apple II slot. Use its control panel to assign emulated card types and slots.

The store showed Add to Cart with one base-card option and one optional bar-graph panel in stock on 2026-07-24. MEGA Audio emulates two Mockingboards but does not emulate their SSI-263 speech chips.

Modernizes the Mockingboard A sound card with six voices, a 3.5 mm output, and an input for the Apple II motherboard audio.

For this system (exact model): Explicitly supports the Apple IIe and works in any expansion slot, although most Mockingboard software expects slot 4 or 5.

Recreates Mockingboard-A sound hardware and adds a vacuum-tube audio preamplifier.

For this system (exact model): The vendor explicitly lists the Apple IIe. Install it in a compatible expansion slot and use software that supports Mockingboard-A hardware.

The assembled card was out of stock on 2026-07-24. It is Mockingboard-A compatible but does not provide speech synthesis.

Adds battery-backed date and time without consuming an Apple II expansion slot.

For this system (exact model): Both product pages explicitly support the Apple IIe. The Manila Gear variant can mount at the motherboard or at a compatible 24-pin or 28-pin card EPROM.

The ReActiveMicro version was in stock and backorderable on 2026-07-24; the Manila Gear version exposed selectable configurations and an Add to cart path. Neither design fits an Apple IIc or IIc Plus when a RAM card occupies the necessary space.

Period CompactFlash and IDE mass-storage card that preceded the USB-capable CFFA3000.

For this system (exact model): The project explicitly supports both standard and enhanced Apple IIe systems. The original CFFA provides ProDOS block storage rather than CFFA3000-style floppy emulation.

The original CFFA production runs are sold out, so acquisition is through the used market. Verify the exact board and firmware revision, included cable or media, and CompactFlash compatibility. CFFA v1.2 runs 1 through 3 have an ATA timing bug that needs CPLD logic 1.4 and three jumper wires. The published Revision 2.0B schematic omits a 33K pullup from U5 pin 27 to Vcc that was added during assembly. These generations are ProDOS mass-storage cards and do not mount DOS 3.3 floppy images.

Adds 8 MB of low-power SRAM and battery-backed storage to a RamWorks III card.

For this system (exact model): PiggyBack8M attaches to RamWorks III rather than directly replacing the Apple IIe base card. The linked RamWorks III product is explicitly for the Apple IIe; confirm connector and revision compatibility with an original or clone RamWorks III.

The card is currently listed as out of stock. It is an add-on and requires a compatible RamWorks III base card.

Provides hardware-assisted assembly-language tracing and debugging for the Apple IIe and Apple IIgs.

For this system (exact model): DDT8 explicitly supports both the original and enhanced Apple IIe with 6502 or 65C02 code. Select the Apple IIe firmware option.

A2Heaven showed two Apple IIe firmware options and one Apple IIgs option in stock on 2026-07-24. ReActiveMicro also exposed assembled and kit selectors for its licensed reproduction. Select the correct DDT8 or DDT16 firmware; IIgs use requires the appropriate support logic.

Converts an Apple IIe 80-column card into a 64K auxiliary-memory card.

For this system (exact model): Requires a compatible Apple IIe 80-column card with socketed ICs. Assemble the daughterboard and add the supplied 25 mm jumper cable; the jumper is unnecessary on a Revision A IIe logic board.

The current product page listed the complete kit without an out-of-stock marker on 2026-07-24. The included used TMS4464 DRAMs are free, unguaranteed bonus parts and may need replacement.

Adds 128 KB of low-power Saturn-compatible bank-switched RAM to slot-based Apple II systems.

For this system (exact model): The IIe relationship is limited: install the card in slot 1 through 7, and use Saturn-aware software. It does not replace or expand the IIe auxiliary-memory system used by most applications.

The assembled Tindie card was out of stock on 2026-07-24 and had been sold out since March 14, 2025. The open repository provides schematics, KiCad files, Gerbers, and documentation. In an Apple IIe or IIgs this is not normal auxiliary or fast memory; only software that understands a Saturn-type card in a peripheral slot can use it.

Adds low-profile, adjustable RAMWorks-compatible auxiliary memory to an Apple IIe.

For this system (exact model): Installs in the Apple IIe auxiliary slot. Check for uncommon motherboard part 820-0064-A before use: the required RAM2E II modification disables double-high-resolution graphics. With an A2Heaven VGA Scaler, follow Garrett's buffered-clock or series-resistance guidance rather than using the original long clock wire unchanged.

The assembled Tindie card was out of stock on 2026-07-24 and had been sold out since December 1, 2025. The open repository remains buildable. A Revision A IIe needs the card's DHGR jumper resistor or trace removed and then loses double-high-resolution graphics support. An A2Heaven VGA Scaler's long 14 MHz clock lead can cause RAM errors unless its clock connection is buffered or otherwise corrected as documented.

Modernizes the Applied Engineering RAMFactor design with 1 MB or 8 MB of low-power Slinky RAM and battery-backed storage.

For this system (stated family): A2Heaven lists both capacities in the Apple IIe category and describes them as Apple II Slinky RAM cards. Confirm slot, firmware, and software requirements before purchase.

The 1 MB version showed one unit in stock on 2026-07-24; the 8 MB version was out of stock. A CR2032 is required for battery-backed use and is explicitly omitted from the 1 MB package because of postal restrictions.

Period high-speed SCSI controller with an onboard processor, DMA, cache, and ROM-based disk utilities.

For this system (exact model): The documentation explicitly supports an enhanced Apple IIe with an 80-column card. It will not work in an unenhanced IIe. Revision C and D boards differ in IIe DMA behavior and setup.

This is a period controller obtained used. Confirm whether the board is Revision C or D and which ROM it runs. Revision D does not use DMA in a IIe, while Revision C needs its documented IIe switch setting. SCSI ID, termination, terminator power, cable length, drive power, and backups all require care. Compatibility problems are documented with some accelerator and memory-card combinations; ROM 3.01E and 3.01EZ have a tape-restore bug corrected in later firmware.

Recreates the Applied Engineering RamWorks III memory and 80-column card for the Apple IIe.

For this system (exact model): The vendor explicitly describes this as an Apple IIe memory card. The listed package starts with 64K; larger capacities require additional compatible memory or an expander.

The store currently lists this 64K self-assembly kit as out of stock. It includes the PCB, parts, and assembly diagram and requires soldering.

Adds VGA output to an Apple IIe through a compatible RamWorks III memory card.

For this system (exact model): The extender is explicitly for the Apple IIe and must be installed on a compatible RamWorks III card. Select the correct PAL or NTSC configuration and provide physical access for the mode button and VGA extension.

The add-on was out of stock on 2026-07-24. It is not a standalone video card and requires a compatible RamWorks III base card.

Adds 4 MB of auxiliary-slot RAM to an Apple IIe in assembled or through-hole kit form.

For this system (exact model): RAMWorks IIII installs in the Apple IIe auxiliary slot and provides 4 MB of auxiliary RAM. The kit requires through-hole soldering.

The current page offered assembled and kit selectors with an Add to cart path on 2026-07-24. This is a complete 4 MB card, distinct from A2Heaven's 64K RamWorks III clone kit.

Adds 8 MB of auxiliary-slot SRAM and battery-backed storage to an Apple IIe.

For this system (exact model): RamWorks8M is explicitly an Apple IIe auxiliary-slot card. Confirm software support for the desired capacity and battery-backed disk workflow.

The assembled card was out of stock on 2026-07-24. It is a complete auxiliary-slot card, not the PiggyBack8M add-on for a separate RamWorks III.

Adds IDE mass storage to slotted Apple II computers with CompactFlash and external-drive options.

For this system (exact model): The 8-bit version explicitly supports the Apple IIe and can use one CompactFlash device. A plug-and-play package includes the CF adapter and configured media.

The current page exposed multiple selectable packages on 2026-07-24. User-supplied CompactFlash cards must comply with the original CF standard; the vendor warns that testing may be the only reliable compatibility check.

Converts NTSC composite video and analog audio from an Apple II or Apple III to an HDMI display.

For this system (exact model): The vendor explicitly lists the Apple IIe. Use an impedance-matched switch box if the composite output must also feed an Apple CRT.

The adapter was in stock and backorderable for $45 on 2026-07-30. It was not tested or intended for PAL systems. Simultaneously connecting a CRT and this adapter requires a composite impedance-matched switch box or video may degrade or disappear. The package includes generic composite, HDMI, audio-adapter, and power cables, but not a computer-specific Commodore A/V cable.

Adds twelve-voice stereo synthesis with a Mockingboard-compatible mode to slotted Apple II computers.

For this system (exact model): The product page explicitly supports the Apple IIe. Choose assembled or kit form and reserve slot 4 when software requires it.

The current storefront exposed assembled and kit selectors on 2026-07-24. Most software expects the card in slot 4 even though the hardware can operate in other compatible slots. Speech chips are optional; inserting an SSI-263 or equivalent backward will destroy it.

Replaces aging Apple II, Apple IIgs, or Apple III power supplies with universal-input modern hardware.

For this system (exact model): The Universal PSU Kit explicitly supports standard and European IIe supplies, including the listed AA11042C enclosure.

The current pages exposed Add to cart or selectable order paths on 2026-07-24. Match the DC output cable to the computer. The internal kit involves mains wiring; disconnect AC power and follow the installation guide exactly.

Connects a driverless USB HID game controller to an Apple II game-port interface.

For this system (bus/interface): Choose the option matching the IIe's available game-port connection and verify connector orientation before power-up.

Retro6502 showed an Add to Cart path at $80 on 2026-07-27 and described the product as made to order. Choose the connector option that matches the computer: DIP-16 is for an internal 16-pin game socket, while DB-9 is for an external 9-pin game port. Bluetooth needs a separate compatible dongle and updated firmware. Never install or remove an internal connector while the computer is powered.

Period 5 MHz 65C02 CPU replacement for the Apple II, II Plus, IIe, and IIc.

For this system (exact model): The manual explicitly supports the Apple IIe and accelerates its second 64K memory bank. Respect the documented cache exclusions and slot-speed settings.

This is a period upgrade obtained used. The floppy-controller slot must run at 1 MHz or a diskette can be damaged; slots 5 and 6 default to 1 MHz, while other slots default to full speed. Slow DMA and some CP/M cards may need additional slowdown settings. Do not cache Apple SCSI, RamFactor, bank-switched ROM, or other hardware that the manual excludes. Installation requires removing a socketed CPU, and an Apple IIc must be disassembled.

Replaces Apple II system ROMs with in-system programmable banks selected from an on-screen menu.

For this system (exact model): ROMXe supports standard and European PAL or NTSC Apple IIe systems. Standard and enhanced boards use the 24-pin optional text ROM; European boards use 28-pin ROMXce and may need ROM-LINK risers when socketed RAM is too close.

All four current model pages offered an order path on 2026-07-24. Optional video and MAP ROM functions require the matching socketed ICs and cables; many compact Apple II systems have those chips soldered.

Emulates a Disk II floppy drive with disk images stored on an SD card.

For this system (stated family): The vendor lists SDFloppy II for Apple II computers. The IIe needs a compatible Disk II controller card, suitable cable, and an available slot.

The assembled package was out of stock on 2026-07-24. It requires a compatible Disk II interface card and does not replace that controller.

SD-card floppy emulator for Apple II-series computers using an Apple II Disk Interface Card.

For this system (stated family): The seller specifies Apple II-series computers and requires a working Apple II Disk Interface Card plus a 20-pin ribbon cable. Treat the device as read-only, and never connect or disconnect it while the computer is powered.

Recreates the Senior PROM utility and protection-bypass board for compatible Apple IIe systems.

For this system (exact model): The documented standard setup requires an enhanced NTSC IIe, 128K, two 5.25-inch drives, access to the CD and EF ROM sockets, and a microprobe connection to pin 6 of the 65C02. It will not physically fit the Platinum IIe.

The assembled board was out of stock on 2026-07-24. The standard configuration is for an enhanced NTSC Apple IIe with 128K and two 5.25-inch drives. It does not fit a Platinum IIe; PAL and unenhanced versions require special arrangements with the vendor.

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 IIe. 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.

Expands a 64K Apple IIe to 128K through the auxiliary slot and provides 80-column memory.

For this system (exact model): Supports non-enhanced, enhanced, and Platinum Apple IIe models with an auxiliary slot. A Revision A logic board requires cutting the card's rear X1 jumper. Test recognition and expanded memory before relying on it.

The current Infinity Products storefront listed the card with a direct product page and no out-of-stock marker on 2026-07-24.

Recreates the Saturn 128K bank-switched memory card for original Apple II systems.

For this system (exact model): The IIe cannot use Satanic128 as standard system memory because its auxiliary-memory architecture differs. Saturn 128K-compatible software can still use most of the card as a RAM disk.

The current Infinity Products storefront listed the assembled card without an out-of-stock marker on 2026-07-24.

Adds a pseudo-SmartPort boot path for hard-disk images and compatible storage devices on Apple II models without built-in SmartPort support.

For this system (exact model): SoftSP explicitly supports the Apple IIe. Install it in a lower-numbered slot than the wDrive controller; slots 1 or 2 are recommended. With FujiNet, slot 2 is the documented tested position. WARNING: Floppy Emu requires a special cable that isolates pin 12. A normal cable through a Disk II controller creates a power-to-ground short that can permanently damage Floppy Emu.

The CT6502 shop marked SoftSP out of stock on 2026-07-24. Check the direct product page for a restock.

Provides SmartPort-compatible SD-card hard-drive emulation with an OLED display and button controls.

For this system (exact model): Disk II and 5.25 Drive Card configurations require Grappler Minus or SoftSP; other configurations require a compatible IWM-protocol interface. In Apple II Desktop, disable Copy to RAM Card or the device may not boot.

The standard and limited-edition pages listed current configurations without an out-of-stock marker on 2026-07-24. The limited shell version is explicitly a finite-quantity assembled variant of the same SPIISD V2 family.

Mounts donor Apple IIgs electronics inside a compatible Apple IIe case.

For this system (exact model): Converts a compatible original or MacEffects Apple IIe case into a donor-board Apple IIgs system. It replaces the computer's functional identity rather than accelerating the original IIe electronics.

The MacEffects page said Sold out on 2026-07-24. The user must provide a ROM 00 or ROM 01 IIgs logic board, keyboard, power supply, and plastic case. Unless ordered preinstalled, the power and keyboard connectors require soldering. Very early IIe cases with white keyboard legends are incompatible.

Provides a reusable prototyping card with an in-system programmable ROM for Apple II and Apple III hardware projects.

For this system (stated family): Use the in-system programmable ROM for firmware development or connect an external breadboard through appropriate ribbon or jumper wiring.

The current storefront exposed kit and assembled selectors on 2026-07-24. It is a development platform, not a finished peripheral; safe use depends on the user's circuit, firmware, power handling, and bus design.

Open 1 MB battery-backed RAMFactor-compatible memory card with a NoSlotClock-compatible clock and ProDOS restore image.

For this system (stated family): The maker describes TimeDisk for slot-based Apple II-series systems. Install it in a peripheral slot and confirm that the intended software supports RAMFactor memory; this is not IIe auxiliary memory.

No current assembled seller was verified on 2026-07-24, but the GW4206B hardware, CPLD, firmware, documentation, and fabrication files remain public. A CR2032 is required for clock operation, retained RAM, and the restore partition. Replacing it erases RAM and resets the clock. Disable TimeDisk's clock when another NoSlotClock-compatible device is present. The USB updater requires 64-bit Windows 10 or later, including supported Boot Camp or Parallels configurations.

Recreates the Applied Engineering real-time clock and digital I/O card for Apple II computers.

Accelerates an Apple IIe with a WDC 65816 processor and a replaceable 13 MHz oscillator.

For this system (exact model): The product page explicitly supports the Apple IIe. Its standard oscillator runs at 13 MHz; faster operation can cause program crashes or lockups without damaging the card or computer.

Adds 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet with a W5100 hardware TCP/IP stack and support from several Apple II networking applications.

For this system (exact model): The maker states compatibility with every Apple IIe model. It needs one free expansion slot and is typically installed in slot 3; an enhanced IIe and at least 128K RAM are recommended rather than required.

The maker's current order page accepts PayPal orders for one to four cards and email inquiries for larger quantities. A2RetroSystems is a part-time business, and U.S. postal orders have an additional tax-and-duty prepayment process.

Adds HDMI video output and Apple IIgs-derived display modes to Apple II slot computers.

For this system (exact model): The manual explicitly supports the Apple IIe in slots 1 through 7, with slot 3 preferred. Install the card with its HDMI connector toward the keyboard, and use the manual's display setup guidance for aspect ratio and low-latency game mode.

The product page supplies the current manual, firmware, support email, and an instruction to email BitPair LLC to check board availability. It does not expose current stock or a direct order path, so availability remains unknown.

Uses an SD card to emulate Apple II floppy and SmartPort devices from common floppy and hard-disk image formats.

For this system (exact model): Explicitly supports original and enhanced Apple IIe systems. A separate SoftSP card is useful for booting hard-disk images through a Disk II connection and is incompatible with software that requires the upper 64K memory bank.

The CT6502 shop marked wDrive out of stock on 2026-07-14. Check the direct product page for a restock.

Connects supported vintage computers to Wi-Fi BBSes through an RS-232 serial port.

For this system (stated family): The vendor says the modem was tested with all Apple 8-bit models using a proper cable. A IIe also needs a compatible serial interface card; confirm its wiring and terminal software.

The current Pro V2 model was in stock on 2026-07-30. It has a female DB25 connector, a color TFT screen, a printed case, faster interface buffers, and signal-state LEDs. It needs an external 5 V micro-USB supply, and the host may also need a gender changer, DB9 adapter, or correctly wired computer-specific serial cable. The older display-free and OLED WiModem232 models are discontinued and replaced by this version.

Mounts as many as eight block-device images from USB storage or microSD through slot-card and Apple IIc CPU-socket versions.

For this system (exact model): The seller explicitly lists the Apple IIe. DSK and DO files only work when they are in ProDOS block order.

The original Xdrive page said Sold out on 2026-07-24, and the Xdrive2c page said Sold out on 2026-07-27. Each assembled product included a USB drive with software and its manual; a microSD card was not included. Installing the slot card backward can damage it. Xdrive2c supports ROM 03, ROM 04, ROM 4X, and custom-ROM IIc systems and can work with a Zip Chip, 65816 adapter, or MB4c Mockingboard through optional cables or adapters. Very early hairpin-keyboard IIc systems need plastic-brace removal or a compatible low-profile stiffener.

Combines several Apple II floppy and SmartPort controller roles on one expansion card for old and modern disk devices.

For this system (exact model): Installs in an Apple IIe expansion slot and supports 5.25-inch, 3.5-inch, SmartPort, and Floppy Emu devices. DB-19 drives need the optional adapter.
