AvailableChecked Jul 15, 2026A2FPGA Multicardby A2FPGA project and ReActiveMicro

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.

Build itChecked Jul 14, 2026AppleII-VGAby Mark A. DeVries and contributors

Open hardware expansion card that generates 640x480 VGA and implements the Apple IIe's native text and graphics modes.

For this system (exact model): The repository explicitly targets the Apple IIe and implements 80-column text, double-lores, and double-hires output modes. This is a buildable open project rather than a finished retail card.

Period accelerator card offered with a 65C02 or 65802 processor and 256K of high-speed memory.

For this system (exact model): Applied Engineering archive material places the original TransWarp in its Apple IIe product range. The accelerator includes handling for the second 64K bank in a 128K Apple IIe.

This is a period product obtained used. Confirm the exact TransWarp revision and installed processor before buying.

Sold outChecked Jul 14, 2026Floppy Emu Model Cby Big Mess o' Wires

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 this model as sold out on 2026-07-14. Check the direct product page for a restock.

AvailableChecked Jul 15, 2026FujiNetby FujiNet project

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.

The project lists small-batch hardware vendors and open design files. Stock and the required hardware variant vary by platform and seller.

AvailableChecked Jul 14, 2026Mockingboard v2.2by ReActiveMicro

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.

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.

Sold outChecked Jul 14, 2026wDrive Disk Drive Emulatorby Mfa2 Workshop

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.

Sold outChecked Jul 14, 2026Yellowstone Universal Disk Controllerby Big Mess o' Wires

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.

The BMOW store showed the controller as sold out on 2026-07-14. Check the direct product page for a restock.
