Re: What GSE-Reactive Really Needs to Make

["Henry" <apl2research@comcast.net>]

Hello Adam.

Yes, I agree that a VGA card or something of the like would be a much 
welcomed addition to the Apple II community.  The main issue with it is that 
it's hard and there's only really one example for us to go on.  Simple 
enough explanation.  With a USB interface card we don't even have an example 
to go on, so we'd be breaking new ground.

Both items are not impossible, just very time consuming.  Some time in the 
future, hopefully not too far away, we will tackle both of those issues. 
With a little luck, skill and help from a few people we might even succeed. 
First, I'd like to learn a little more about what make the Apples tick, 
finish some of the projects we have already started and then we'll 
contemplate something as monumental as VGA or USB.

Don't forget that GSE-Reactive.com is only about 5 months old.  I think 
things have come quite far considering.  Thanks to everyone for their 
support!
