Inside of the Apple IIgs computer is a chip called the MEGA-II. Many sources call this an “Apple IIe on a chip.” Turns out, that might be a bit of a stretch. For this build, James shows how he removed the chip from a 1990-vintage Apple IIgs and put it into a custom-designed prototype. Spoiler: It takes more than 1 chip to make a bootable Apple IIe clone, using a combination of original vintage and modern parts: bit.ly/3EWI9S4
