100x100 mm through hole version

[mengstr]

Thank you for this project. My 15" Philips Matchline TV (with Antenna, Composite, S-Video, SCART and VGA) didn't sync up nicely with the Apple composite output but had jitter and was jumping all over the place. So I remade your original PCB into a size that could be made at JLC for $2, populated it, and of course it works perfectly. ^__^

The colors are a bit off, but that is to be expected considering I used 470, 1K and 2.2K in the DAC. Haven't tried the 80-col mode yet, but I never had that on my original Apple back in the day, so it will just be a nice addition if it works. Now I just have to re-learn using the Apple again - toy tend to forget a lot in 45 years :-)

Nice job getting the board size down, and thanks for sharing!

Nice job! I started my own design of 100x100 board for MPF-II_VGA_card - I want to fit also the VGA connector to the same board

I'm very interested in 100x100 version, any chance to sharing the gerber files?

Not sure if you get my reply when I just add it into the thread here and not specifically to your text. If not you'll have to look further down for it.

Oh, I see that I only got an empty repo for it. I'll push the files later today. But I have 4 spare boards that I've got no use for so I'd be happy to send you one for free, if you want one drop me an email with your address at

Of course replace the () with the relevant characters ;-)

mail sended, tnx

Repo with KiCad files and also Gerbers, made for JLCPCB but probably works for most fabs, available at https://github.com/mengstr/AppleII-VGA100

Hi Mats,Pcb is arrived to me, no trouble at all :-)Mounted on the fly and is working…I don’t have the LVC245 and use the HTC245 and it works. Pico are unofficially 5,25V tolerant :-)Some pics and many many thanksEmilianoELIl giorno 16 set 2024, alle ore 19:03, Mats Engstrom ***@***.***> ha scritto: Repo with KiCad files and also Gerbers, made for JLCPCB but probably works for most fabs, available at https://github.com/mengstr/AppleII-VGA100 —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>

Nice!, you're very welcome. I'm glad you got it working - and that someone got use for my extra PCBs instead of it just being stuck in a box of old boards here. :-)
