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

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.

Emulates Apple ProFile and Widget hard drives from SD-card images and provides low-level diagnostic and recovery tools.

The Juicy Crumb page provided an order path on 2026-07-24 and explicitly marked the internal option in stock. An ESP32 module is optional in the store selector but required for operation, so verify the contents of the selected external or internal package. The internal variant requires a host with a Widget Data Connector and uses a Widget or Twiggy power cable.

Reimplements the Lisa 1 and Lisa 2/5 as an open FPGA system with HDMI, USB input, and SD-backed ProFile storage.

The complete JCM first production run was out of stock on 2026-07-24, with a notification form for a planned second run. The project provides source code and PCB files for DIY builds. A complete setup also needs suitable USB-C power, a microSD card, a 1080p HDMI display, and a supported keyboard and mouse. Onboard floppy emulation does not yet work. Optional original Twiggy-drive support requires the separate breakout and remains untested; JCM showed three breakout boards in stock.
