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

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.

Lets supported original-style Apple II computers use a USB keyboard.

The adapter was out of stock on 2026-07-24. It supports only USB HID 1.0 low-speed keyboards, so many current USB keyboards may not work. The vendor explicitly says it is not compatible with the Apple IIe.

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.

Adapts modern USB keyboards and mice to early Macintosh keyboard and mouse ports or to ADB.

The current page listed a fully assembled unit without an out-of-stock marker on 2026-07-24. Firmware and hardware are closed source. USB peripheral and hub compatibility varies; early iMac Rev. A through C USB keyboards are explicitly unsupported.

Recreates several Commodore PET models on a modern single board with a faster 65816, expanded memory, color VGA graphics, USB input, and SD storage.

No current assembled seller was verified. Revision 3.0A has public GPL-3.0 hardware files, but it is an advanced build with fine-pitch surface-mount parts, separately programmed FPGA and boot firmware, and dependencies across several repositories. The family documentation warns that boards, bills of materials, and firmware are moving to newer video timing and says to contact the maker before building.

Runs a purpose-built Macintosh 128K emulator on a Raspberry Pi Pico with monochrome VGA and USB keyboard and mouse input.

Juicy Crumb exposed an Add to cart path for the assembled v2 carrier and an optional in-stock Raspberry Pi Pico on 2026-07-27. Check whether the selected package includes the Pico. A working setup also needs 5 V power, a VGA display or converter, USB OTG cable, mouse, and usually a keyboard or hub. The default flash-backed disk is read-only; writable storage requires a separately built SPI SD-card path. Building firmware from source requires a legally obtained compatible Macintosh ROM and disk image. The community UF2 creator was temporarily offline during this check.

Connects modern USB HID keyboards and mice to Macintosh computers through Apple Desktop Bus.

HIDHopper Base, Base with USB Hub Hat, and Hub Hat-only selections could be added to the JCM cart on 2026-07-24. The assembled QuokkADB Rev. 2022g remained sold out, while its Raspberry Pi Pico Community Edition remained buildable. HIDHopper's Hub Hat requires external USB-C power, must be power-cycled between Macintosh starts, and can otherwise exceed the host's ADB power budget.

Hosts USB HID mice, keyboards, joysticks, and gamepads on classic Amigas, with more limited C64 and Atari ST modes.

Amiga Shop listed Rys MKII in stock at EUR 44.95 with a 3-4 day shipping estimate on 2026-07-30; AMIGAstore separately listed EUR 31.95 but out of stock with restock T.B.A. Retro 7-bit publishes current Amiga firmware 0.16, manual 1.5, Windows flashing software, and RysWheel installers. Seller claims conflict about wireless mice, so buyers should assume a wired supported HID device unless Retro 7-bit confirms a specific receiver.

Connects USB HID mice, keyboards, joysticks, and gamepads to Commodore, Amiga, and Atari ST-family control ports.

Sordan hosts current Rev3 and Micro Tom pages and a Rev3 manual, but neither product page exposed a price, stock value, or product-specific cart route on 2026-07-30. AMI64 listed TOM 2+ at GBP 40 but out of stock. TOM+ and TOM Rev2 are retained as older variants rather than presumed current products. USB peripherals may be hot-plugged, but the DB9 adapter must be connected only while the old computer is powered off. Device compatibility is not universal.

Builds an integrated modern PET-compatible computer with selectable PET models, accelerated operation, enhanced color video, storage, audio, and current input.

No current assembled seller was verified. Revision 1.3A has public GPL-3.0 hardware files, but a build requires fine-pitch surface-mount assembly, separate FPGA and ROM projects, and programmed devices. The family documentation warns that boards, bills of materials, and firmware are moving to newer video timing and says to contact the maker before building.
