Have awesome sharp graphics from your Apple II displaying on a HDMI monitor or TV! This card auto detects your machine so it will work on an Apple II, II+ or IIe without any modification. It uses the awesome open-source MIT licensed firmware by Thorsten Brehm. This card outputs 640x480 DVI or 720x480 DVI and should work with any HDMI monitor or TV. Play your favorite Apple II games on your large screen TV! An HDMI cable is included together with instructions for installing the card. Thorsten also has a configuration file that you can download from GitHub at the website below that allows you to change settings on the card and save them to the card's memory. There are several different fonts available for different languages. In addition to color mode, there is a monochrome mode to simulate a white, green or amber monitor. There's also an analog mode that will improve graphics on some games and give a more retro experience.
The card is similar to Ralle Palaveev's card. I built it from the ground up using his schematic, but I used larger SMD caps and resistors to make replacement easier if needed. I also use a Mosfet switch instead of a diode on the power rail. The card has a gold ENIG finish.
The board will be programmed and tested with the most recent firmware, but any future updates can be done by the user using the link below. Go to the page below for more information and latest releases of the firmware and configuration files.
