limited space inside the Apple IIe case, these ports are inaccessible without additional hardware
modification with the lid closed. The HDMI port, oriented at the bottom, requires a 90 or 270 degree
adapter for access. Some HDMI cables can be bought with this angle built-in and tend to have more
clearance than just the adapter. Depending on the slot you want to plug your Apple II Pi in to, the 90 or
270 degree adapter will provide the access to the HDMI port and clear the motherboard standoffs. If
your monitor only has a DVI connection, you will need either a HDMI ↔ DVI cable or HDMI ↔ DVI
adapter. All of these cables and adapters can easily be found on Amazon.com (links in Appendix).
Refer to the following pictures to see which adapter/cable you need for your installation:

The USB (and Ethernet on Model B Pi) ports are easily accessed at the front end of the card. You do
NOT need an external power adapter for the Raspberry Pi: it derives power from the Apple II Pi
adapter card.

The externally mounted Apple II Pi card uses the ribbon cable between the Apple II Pi adapter card and
the Raspberry Pi:
