A //e version would be nice.
One thing I always wanted to do is an Apple II-like keyboard that could be connected to anything emulating a II or II+ (or a Teletype - same layout). Lot of the “experience” hinges on the physical object more than the perfect pixels on the screen.

  This my project :) I specifically avoided the //e for reasons of needing to replicate the custom PLD chips.
  Anyway, someone’s already done that here: https://www.applefritter.com/content/uncle-bernies-replica-2...

    Thank you. This is a super cool project.
    On the physicality, what do you think about the keyboard part? Do you think a USB Apple II keyboard would be a good idea?

    Oh definitely. I had to go with an RGB keyboard and some generic keycaps for this build, but it definitely was a compromise. Otherwise the keyboard would have been more expensive than everything else combined…
