The A2FPGA is built on an open source project and available for purchase on ReActiveMicro.
Old schoolApple IImachines, including Apple IIe, Apple II+ and Apple IIgs, arent compatible with modern screens.
It bumps the default resolution up to 720 x 480 at 60Hz and doubles the available vertical lines.
A2FPGA has been built using an FPGA chip.
This kind of modern dev chip allows engineers to retool it for older hardware.
It also recreates the functionality of the Mockingboard soundboard.
Apple II had sound by default, but it wasnt that great.
All it could do was make pop and beep sounds.
To play actual music or sound effects on Apple II, you need a third party sound card.
A2FPGA
The Mockingboard was one of the more popular solutions.
The A2FPGA emulates the Mockingboard and sends the audio output to the speakers on the connected HDMI equipment.
The A2FPGA can copy the functionality of these cards too.
