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.
Consider Ed Eastman's approach--it seems quite workable.
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!Henry S.

We can now use modern disk drives with the various CFFA cards, now we just need to be able to use modern video and input devices. The VGA is probably the most important as then we don't have to have dedicated RGB monitors for our machines. -Adam
