7-27-8: KFEST pics >HERE<.

7-4-8: We will be attending this years KFEST.  So during the week of the 21st to the 28th we will be closed.  Any orders received during this time will not ship till late in the week of the 28th.  While at KFEST will be demoing the new Apple][VGA Card from Ferdinand Meyer-Hermann for use in the Apple II/+/e.  You can check out his Site for more info about the card and his project.

7-1-8: Nothing major to report on our projects.  Been busy getting ready for KFEST, which we will be attending this year.

5-20-8: GS-RAM Ultra Project: We solved the GS-RAM Ultra ROM3 issue.  Seems AE built in ROM3 compatibility in to this card.  No upgrade or fix needed.  Just cut one trace on the back of the card and you're ready for ROM3 usage!  See >THIS< pic for details.  Thanks to Mark Swaine for lending us his card!

5-3-8: GS-RAM Ultra Project: As you may have seen in the News Groups on CSA2, we have put out a request to the Community for a GS-RAM Ultra that works in a ROM3 IIgs.  Here's a picture of the GS-RAM Ultra.  Please contact us if you have a GS-RAM Ultra that works in a ROM3 as we would like to read and produce a copy of the upgrade GAL on the board.  Hopefully we will be able to offer AE's upgrade to allow users of the GS-RAM Ultra in their ROM3s in the near future.  Any one with a link to the manual, a .PDF file of the manual, or even the hard copy of the manual is also asked to contact Support.

5-1-8: A newer/more complete version of the Apple II Reference Manual - The Red Book v2 has been added. Enjoy!

5-1-8: New addition to the Archives, thanks to Mac Dog.  The TransWarp II Manual.  Now we're just looking for the Programmer's Reference.  Anyone have a copy?  Humm... I wonder how clone-able this card is? ;-)

As always, we're always looking for people from the Community to help out.  Our Web Server isn't in the best of shape as you may have seen.  It could be a little better organized and also could use some better software then just Apache Server for the links.  If anyone would like to help or has software they would recommend, please let us know.  We can use all the help we can get!

Other Projects Under Development

TransWarp GS Upgrade Kit - This kit will consist of several upgrade ICs.  You will need to send us your card be we should be able to upgrade it to a stable 18.75 MHz.  Active cooling will be necessary until we are able to edit the GAL source code.  Anyone with experience editing/creating JEDEC files and wanting to help please email Support.  We will supply all software and work with you as much as necessary.  We would also be willing to pay you for your time on this project.

RAMWorks III 2 Meg Expander - This project pretty much started it all.  We found that all Apples don't use conventional DRAM refresh schemes.  Because of this we weren't able to used less expensive DRAM options available.  So we will need to create our own DRAM replacement circuit if we want to be able to produce RAM Card that don't cost a fortune to produce.  Our idea is to use a modern SRAM which is both inexpensive and easy to work with.  The hard part of course is designing the replacement circuit.  Richard Jackson is currently working with us to help bring this circuit in to production.  Once tested several of our RAM based projects will be able to be released along with the RAMWorks III 2 Meg Expander.

UltimateApple2.com - Anthony Martino is currently partnered with us on a few projects.  Without his support and backing a couple soon to be released projects wouldn't have been able to make it to market as quickly as they did.

Investment Opportunity - We are currently looking for investors.  Contact Henry for details.

 Anyone looking to help out please contact Support.  We supply all software and tutoring.  You can use any software you want, but we prefer if you use the same software as us so we can all share designs.

As you may know, we've been through many Hosts throughout the past few years.  Finding a good Host can be really hard.  We know!  After much searching and evaluating we have finally settled with HostGator.com.  For under $10 per month we get 6000 Gigs of bandwidth and 600 Gigs of storage.  The up and download speeds are phenomenal too!  I only wish we found them earlier.  So if you're looking for a new Host, take our advice and try HostGator.com.  Just click on the banner or links to get to their Web Site.

Good Host!  But don't take our word for it.  Want to see our Server's Up Time?
