I intended to write this post about -9- months ago (not to mention maybe a few other posts as well), but the world got crazy and life got busy and, well, better late than never.

This is pretty cool.
MS-DOS 2.0 on the Apple IIe (March 2026)
An Apple II enthusiast ported MS-DOS 2.0 to an Apple IIe running an ALF AD8088 Plus 8088 card (a much simpler device than the PC Transporter) designed for CP/M-86.
It boot, supports 80-columns, reads the clock, reads disk data from a shared ProDOS file on the IIe's hard disk.
Stated plans from the author, Seth Kushniryk, include Super Serial and Uthernet II support as well as running CP/M-80 on MS-DOS on ProDOS with a V20 swapped in for the 8088.

Southern California Research Group's (SCRG) Switch-A-Slot attached to a 128K enhanced Apple IIe computer.
The more slots, the better.

After some wild mathematical hat rendering yesterday, kicked off by @scruss and @paulrickards, I've got John Brooks' ridiculously optimized 10 line Applesoft BASIC program running on the IIe.
(Time-lapse video; the hat takes about 9 minutes to render on the 1MHz IIe.)
The listing can be found here: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.apple2/c/Uc4EmM3xX88

At KansasFest a few weeks ago, I shared the story of cartoonist Ya'akov Kirschen's quixotic quest to break into the computer industry.
Based on years of research, this presentation has it all: old video games, comics, Jewish education, and more!

I've put a gallery of photos I took during the INIT HELLO Apple II conference at the System Source Computer Museum this past weekend online for anyone who might like a look at some of the festivities.
What a wonderful time it was! Can't wait for next year!

Spotted at the System Source Computer Museum: Missile Command 3.0 running on a Xerox Alto.
How many people wrote games for the Alto?! I wonder if this guy went on to bigger things?

Picked up my first ever amber monitor at the INIT HELLO vendor/swap room on day one. Adjusted a little and it looks great!

Powering the Apple //c with a 15v source and a bespoke USB-C power adapter.
This //c has been setup in more places than any other system I own. Here is the latest, atop a small shelf system in the Byte Cellar.

Just read about this pretty awesome project, View IIc, a wireless Remote Desktop solution for the Apple //c. The hardware uses an ESP32 and plugs into the //c's RGB port, sending the 14MHz video bitstream to a Windows PC.
This is a work-in-progress by Mike Neil (who calls its current status alpha), and I'm excited to see how this evolves.
The link is to his Facebook post, but is readable without being logged in.
