What is it?

Add VGA video output to a compatible Apple II with this Raspberry Pi Pico-based expansion card.

Current hardware and function

  • Uses the standard Raspberry Pi Pico.
  • The supplied configuration provides VGA video output only.
  • Tested by us with Apple II and Apple IIe.

This card reads the computer's video-memory activity through the expansion bus and generates a VGA signal. It is not an external composite-to-VGA converter.

Before ordering

You need a compatible Apple II computer with a suitable expansion slot, a VGA display and the appropriate VGA cable. Check your exact computer model and display connection before ordering. Compatibility with other Apple II models has not been confirmed for our supplied configuration.

Switch off and disconnect the computer before installing or removing the card. Follow the board-specific installation instructions and check card orientation before applying power.

Project reference and support

This adapter follows the AppleII-VGA project by Mark Aikens. Original hardware and firmware reference. Reference-project features and alternative firmware do not define the functions supplied with this listing. Confirm the board revision with us before changing firmware.
