Here is another project that I am considering.

A2 Hobbyboard Layout

This is the beginnings of a layout replicating an original Apple 2 Hobbyboard.  This is a prototyping board intended for creating your own Apple II expansion card.

I’m thinking of building a batch of  either exact replicas or possibly modified with some improvements that I have in mind. This board layout is ideal for wirewrap applications, but I’ve moved beyond wirewrap a few years ago, so I’m likely to modify it for point to point wiring.

I’m also thinking of putting together some project kits that could be implemented on this board.  Projects I have done already that could be easily adapted, include my shutter tester and the improved firmware card.   I have other ideas like a spectrum analyzer for audio frequencies.

Let me know what you think and if you have ideas for projects for this hobby board.  Also if you have ideas for what features you would like to see in a prototyping board, let me know.
