Looks like a solid solution! I suppose pick based upon your skill, budget, and last but absolutely not least, amperage requirements. If you plan to load up every slot, pick a solution with a higher mA rating especially on +5v than your factory PSU is labelled for.

The reactive micro solution is nice, I use that myself. There is also a nice slightly more advanced way to fit a meanwell, which may try in the future. https://www.applefritter.com/content/putting-pt-65b-switchmode-power-module-apple-iie

I have a feeling you're not alone, people probably hoarded and / or simply lost them over time. Not a problem at all, whenever I realize I have something potentially unarchived, this is the least I can do. As an owner of at least 4 different devices of theirs, I find it a bit rough that the...

It's like 2.5GB, I have now uploaded it to archive.org. https://archive.org/details/extron_issue_2011-1

I found a DVD in my box for my RGB-HDMI 300, my mac refused to read it, I have a windows machine taking an ISO and I'll upload it somewhere when it's done. The Disc is labelled "Extron software products dvd issue 2011.1," and googling that didn't seem to bring up anything exact.

I'll have a look and make sure it was this device, I have a lot of extron stuff, presuming it is, I'll rip the CD happily.

Is it different than what comes with it? I think mine has a CD in the box.

Definitely nice; I use this utility to make my ROM images for ProDOS ROM Drive cards, and having to dust off a windows laptop for it had become an accepted annoyance.

I like the theory for sure, but mouse cards I have and have seen are more complicated, apple ones as well as this aftermarket card which I think describes your potential use case. https://maceffects.com/products/maceffects-bitmouse-serial-mouse-card-for-the-apple-ii

As BMOW said, no ROM on board makes it difficult to identify; we can't even dump a chip for a clue unfortunately. It will likely be quite difficult to ever figure out what it was without whatever was on the other end of that cable (or some software). Could be an 8 Bit IO that controls anything...

Yeah, DB25 cable and an adapter is what I do as well.

This is what some arcade motherboards do, but many are completely unlabelled. Thankfully a JVS port won't try to power a USB device, but if you plug your fancy arcade IO board into a normal USB port where there's voltage, you can destroy it. As such I agree with @bigmessowires that you should...

The JVS wiring standard for arcades (Incredibly common actually, used for Sega NAOMI (dreamcast type hardware), Namco 246/256 (PS2 hardware), etc. uses RCA audio, VGA Video, and there's a USB A Port for IO boards (controls). Except it's not USB. It's RS-485 over a USB cable/connectors...

I had a lone USB wifi dongle that worked in 10.4 for my 1st gen iMac, but after I reinstalled 10.4 myself, I could never get the drivers happy again :(. The guy I bought it from had long forgotten how he got it sorted, and I've long since given up. Would have been / would be nice though.

You are definitely mentioned/credited. Appreciate it.

Seemed that way for me too until I realized it was less hassle than enabling separate hotspots with old technology, running LAN everywhere... I hope you can find a solution that makes sense for you :)

I like it. I also use this tethering method for other machines too, like my G3 iMac, if they're out of reach of a switch or router at the house. It's usually temporary but it's convenient.

My solution for my Pismo is to use my cell phone in usb to ethernet tethering mode, and plug an eth cable in from the Pismo to my phone via a ethernet to USB dongle. It works really well, and is fast and secure, but it's not a convenient every day solution for everybody. Despite being external...

Serial midi interfaces are a dime a dozen, maybe a cheap macman for the Mac and USB midi interface for the computer? For MT32 the UM-ONE MKII is rock solid.

Thanks :) Unfortunately IIGS is out. But I'm glad for II+ and IIe I was able to make Integer BASIC and Apple-1/Wozaniam easily accessible on a single card without fully reconfiguring the DIPS and/or bypassing system ROM. Also in the edge case of someone with a II+ with on board Integer Basic...
