Option 2: Create boot floppy from disk image.
Installed from the a2pi package: /usr/share/a2pi/A2PI-x.y.PO (x.y represent the current version, i.e. 1.2)
is a ProDOS image of the 5¼ boot floppy. There are a number of ways to create a physical floppy
image, but the easiest is probably ADTPro (http://adtpro.sourceforge.net). Once the floppy image has
been written to a physical floppy, continue to Step 3.1.
Step 3.1: Apple II configuration.
On the boot floppy is a program, CONFIG. You must run this program to configure the slot number of
the Apple II Pi adapter. The Apple II Pi adapter card will run just fine in slot 3, if that makes your
choice any easier.
Step 4: Installing the Apple II Pi adapter card.
There are two versions of the Apple II Pi adapter card: internal mounting and external mounting. The
internal mount has a female header at the top where the Pi attaches to directly. The external mount has
a 90 degree male header on the back side of the card where a ribbon cable attaches.
Step 4i: Internal Pi mounting:
Connect the Raspberry Pi to the Apple II Pi adapter card with the GPIO header. If you received a PCB
standoff to further solidify the Raspberry Pi ↔ adapter card connection, insert it first into the adapter
card. Very carefully, align the GPIO header pins with the adapter card header and firmly press together.
Make sure the standoff inserts into the hole in the Raspberry Pi. Double check that the GPIO pins are
all inserted into the header properly, no pins should be exposed. Connect the HDMI adapter (or
cable with built-in adapter) to the HDMI port on the Raspberry Pi. Make sure the slot selected in the
CONFIG program is clear of other cables and carefully maneuver the Apple II Pi into the slot. When
pressing the card into the slot, press on the adapter card, not the Raspberry Pi itself. Make sure the
HDMI adapter/cable has clearance around the front of the slot. Connect the HDMI cable to the adapter.
Run the cable underneath any other expansion cards out one side or the other. Some HDMI cable plugs
are a tight fit through the access panels in the back of the Apple II. Find the best fit, but you may have
to shave the plug down somewhat to allow it to exit the Apple II case. Connect the Ethernet cable, if
needed, or USB extension cable for Wi-Fi dongle. I have found the RFI shielding inside the Apple II
case severely restricts the range of the Wi-Fi dongles, so a USB extension cable to move the dongle
external to the Apple II case is required. Once installed, it should look like this (in slot 2):
