The Raspberry Pi connects to the ribbon cable with the red stripe toward the end opposite the yellow

video connector and next to the edge containing the SD card. A Raspberry Pi case is recommended. It

will need to have a cutout for the GPIO header. Do NOT attach an external power supply to the Pi – it

derives power from the ribbon cable coming from the Apple II Pi adapter card. . Double-check the

connections to ensure the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins are completely inserted into the ribbon cable

header as well as the ribbon cable header on the Apple II Pi adapter card. Either the composite

video or HDMI video can be used although the composite video may require further configuration

through the raspi-config program.

Step 5: Booting Up.

Insert the boot floppy into drive 1 and turn on the Apple II. The Apple II should start its floppy boot

sequence and the Raspberry Pi should identify the monitor and display its boot process. Sometime into

the boot process, if all is OK, the Apple II will beep when it establishes communication with the

Raspberry Pi. However, the initial boot probably needs to be configured on the Apple II.

Step 5.1: Initial Apple II configuration.

The Apple II will either try to connect using a serial card (if present) or issue a buzz signifying the need

to configure the Apple II client. If the Apple II is trying to connect on a serial card, just press a key to

exit the connection process. You will need to manually type run config. If the Apple II recognized it

needed configuration and buzzed, it will run the CONFIG program automatically. Enter the slot # of

the Apple II Pi adapter card, press the RETURN key, and the Apple II will attempt to re-establish

communication with the Pi. A normal beep will be issued when it connects.

Step 5.2: Logging in.

Welcome to the Apple II Pi. You can login using the Apple II keyboard using the username: pi and

password: raspberry. You can navigate the X Desktop with the Apple II mouse if you have one. If you

don't have an Apple II mouse, or prefer a USB mouse, plug it in to the USB port on the Raspberry Pi.
