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

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.

Open hardware SCSI emulator with SD-backed storage, optional Wi-Fi networking, and host-side management tools.

Current seller checks on 2026-07-27 found a $39 internal 50-pin Pico 2 W kit, a $49 assembled external DB-25 model, a $49 PowerBook model, and a $59 assembled Ultra Narrow 50-pin model at authorized seller ToTs RETRO. JCM also carried assembled Ultra hardware and model-specific Macintosh adapters. Prices, stock, included media, and support differ by seller. Ultra models require Berg or Molex power and cannot run from SCSI termination power. The initial Ultra hardware release is not yet open hardware, although its firmware remains GPL; the project says hardware licensing will open later.

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

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.

Emulates Commodore IEC devices and loads files from local flash, an SD card, or network servers over Wi-Fi.

The project provides source, several ESP32 hardware profiles, build instructions, and a browser-based firmware flasher. No direct retail source was verified, so builders must select matching hardware and firmware before connecting it to a computer.

Current multifunction 8-bit ISA card that adds emulated storage, memory, networking, and USB or SD-connected devices to PC/XT-class computers.

Macintosh SE/30 PDS adapter for combining a supported CPU accelerator with a supported video or Ethernet card.

The Artmix product page exposed a current Add to cart control on 2026-07-24.

Adds a DE10-Nano Linux coprocessor, 1080p HDMI video, DMA, storage, networking, and a framebuffer overlay to a Commodore 64.

The project remains under construction and its current releases are alpha previews. Carrier Gerbers, a BOM, placement data, and preview releases are available, but a DE10-Nano or compatible MisterPi board and the supplied SD image are also required.
