How can I do I/O on the Apple ][?


The Apple II probably presents more options for doing I/O than
any other computer.
It's good that Apple II enthusiasts are still around. But aren't you 
a little overly enthusiastic here?  Can the Apple II be used for e.g.
capturing digital video over a Firewire connection?  Are there radio
and/or TV/video cards for the Apple II?  And what about Gigabit
Ethernet - is that available for the Apple II?  And of course we have
the ubiqutous USB-2 to which you can connect a lot of devices - does
that work on the Apple II?


Forgive me for speaking in the context of the Apple II and
other "retrocomputers" of its time...clearly I should have
added "of its time" to my statement.

Of course, since nothing that we exclaim about here is worth
any exclamation except in the retro context--perhaps I can be
excused for leaving it implicit.

If the OP specifies what kind of I/O needs doing, then we can
either tell him how it can be done, or that it cannot.
