We mentioned this a few years back, but it's worth a look if you have never seen it. The intro:
"At the outset, when designing NadaNet, I envisioned that it could be used to support parallel computing on Apple II machines. To add more processors and save space, I decided that I would package several Apple //e main boards together, without keyboards or peripheral slot cards. (I didn’t disassemble the Apples myself, but found a box of Apple //e main boards being sold as an auction lot for about a dollar each!) I settled on a wooden cube about one foot on a side which I slotted to hold up to 8 main boards. For whimsical reasons, I called it an 'AppleCrate'."

AppleCrate: An Apple II-Based Parallel Computer

As you may notice, here at VAN we view the Internet like a daily treasure hunt. It seems if you spend some time really digging, you can always come up with another little nugget. Today we have located the text from a rather obscure article on the launch of the Lisa from Windfall magazine. From the February, 1983 issue, the article begins:
"LISA has arrived. And its the biggest breakthrough in microcomputing since the first hand-built Apple emerged from a California garage in 1976.
That pioneering machine was the blueprint from which a all the hundreds of different micros produced since have been based.
But now there's Lisa, so revolutionary a concept that it's no exaggeration to say that the future of personal computing has only just begun.
The result of the many millions of dollars and hundreds of man years (Reportedly 50$ Million, and 200 man years - RTK) that Apple has been devoting to research and development is a giant leap forward in making computers far more human."

From the Editors of PC World comes this top 25 list. It begins, "The IBM PC is 25. And here are the top PCs ever, from machines you owned and loved to systems you've never heard of." And at number one - The 1979 Apple II! Apple commands five of the 25 spots with the Apple II, the Macintosh Plus, the PowerBook 100, the second generation iMac, and the eMate 300.

This page describes a project to create a CompactFlash / IDE Interface card for Apple II computers (][+, //e, //e enh or //gs). The card is ProDOS 8 and GS/OS compatible. With an additional driver, GS/OS user get additional partitions and speed. From R & D Automation, LLC and at $105 each, this seems like a bargian to us!
