Both mice can be active simultaneously. Ditto for the keyboard: plug in a USB keyboard if you want to

supplement the Apple II keyboard (which lacks many modern keys). Continue on to the rest of the

Apple II Pi documentation to see how you can interact with your Apple II devices and use the GSport

emulator to turn your Apple II into the ultimate IIgs upgrade.

Step 6: Keeping Apple II Pi Updated.

Debian Linux, of which Raspbian is a port of, is known for it’s powerful package system that makes

installing software and maintaining your system very easy. Whenever you want to update your system,

issue the commands from Step 2.1:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

This will install all available updates. When upgrading the a2pi package, the Apple II keyboard may

become unresponsive – press Control+Reset to re-establish communication between the client and

server. If you find an update to the Apple II Pi boot floppy, you can easily overwrite the floppy in drive

1, slot 6 with this command:

dskwrite /usr/share/a2pi/A2PI-x.y.PO

(x.y represent the current version, i.e. 1.2). Label your floppy disk so you know what version it is. You

will be prompted to overwrite the existing volume; respond with ‘y’. Afterward, you will also need to

re-run the CONFIG program to set the slot # for the Apple II Pi adapter. Exit the Apple II client with

OpenApple+SolidApple+Delete key combination. Type:

run config

Enter the slot #. The Apple II will attempt to reconnect to the Raspberry Pi. There shouldn’t be many

updates to the boot floppy.
