Personally, I'd say buy the LittleProto - but I'm not 100 % impartial and 
James gives me $.25 every time I plug his card. ;-)



At the risk of loosing a sale, here's something: 
http://www.douglas.com/hardware/pcbs/breadboards/apple.html.  I've never 
dealt with them, but they claim to have a proto for an Apple II.  Might be 
worth checking out.  Nothing as fancy or as well built as the LittleProto II 
though.  Just a basic bare card you'll have to solder or wire wrap 
everything to and is pretty much a 'single use' board.  The LittleProto II 
has gold fingers, a bread board and resettable fuses.  So it's a much better 
product that can be used over and over again.  With the built in resettable 
fuses you'll never have to worry about frying your Motherboard either.  May 
be worth the couple extra bucks in the long run.  It is to me at least!
