Raspple II

Raspberry Pi + Apple II = Raspple II

Did you ever wish you had a tiny, cheap, silent peripheral attached to your Apple // that gave it mass storage, access to the Internet, support for network boot, quick access to the wealth of Apple // software and resources available on the Internet, and more? Did you ever imagine you could have these things for less than the cost of most Apple peripherals on eBay? Well, you can!

This repository is currently a hard hat zone; it's not yet been populated with Ivan Drucker's scripts and toolks. When it is done, you should be able to find all of the "glue" of RasppleII here, along with the tools necessary to build a RasppleII distribution around your own Raspbian release.

For now, the focus will be on trying to recreate Ivan's setup and release process, something hopefully he can step in and help with here and there. Once we've got that working, the current plan is to make it work for other people. Finally we'll try to bring it up to date with the latest architectural changes in Raspbian and its parent OS, Debian.

To answer a possible question early on: It's expected that A2SERVER and A2CLOUD ought to be suitable for any Linux-based system with minimal integration effort. Certainly any Debian-based system should be pretty easy. Image tools and the like should be usable on any generally modern UNIX-based system. Joseph Carter intends to use and test them on Mac OS X as well as Linux, so they should be usable on the various BSD systems.

If you want any part of it to work somewhere it doesn't, dig in! That's what distributed development and open source are all about, right?
