Sold outChecked Jul 24, 2026ESP32 SoftCardby ESP32 SoftCard project

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

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.

Sold outChecked Jul 27, 2026Xdrive Familyby JD Micro and MacEffects

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

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.
