      @ExarKunIv thank you. I have many fond memories of my apple iie as a kid. I have done tons of modded consoles and arcades and always dreamed about modifying an apple iie. So when i got the chance to mod one into a modern pc for my buddy, i was inspired to finally do one for myself, but with a raspberry pi.

            You sir, are a prince among the less princely. That artwork is amazing! I really appreciate this and I'm sending you an e-mail now with my deets. Do people still say "deets"? Surely it still has some street cred somewhere. I picture some guy named Trevor using it and it turning out all right for him.

                something else i added today. in my gpio db19 adapter that i have my real time clock in, i added a headphone jack. since apple drives dont have an eject button and in dosbox i have to be able to eject the discs and then mount new ones, i added this 2 button contraption. one button ejects the discs and the other button mounts the discs. I have 2 disc drives so i didnt really need to add this since if i loaded 2 discs to a game i wouldnt have to ssh in to eject the disc to run the next disc, but i was bored and like, “hey, why not?” I just wish linux was smart enough to auto mount a disc drive when you put a disc in it.

                          Have you released your awesome Apple ][ theme? I can't find it and it would go great with my project I'm working on.
