Apple A2 VGA card

[slomacuser]

Hello. I have first revision of Apple A2 VGA card. Looks like the development moved to revision B with different people. Is the rev A still supported?

1. Can anybody upload A2 VGA utilities? I have no development tools or knowledge to make one from GitHub.
2. Any guide how to create/upload custom fonts? I would like to create font that displays special ČŠĆĐŽ characters with VGA card on Apple IIe.

Thanks!

It's not clear to me which board you have. Are you saying you have the ∀2 Analog VGA card from here, and not the Ralle Palaveev version of the board from here? If so, just grab the latest release and it will have everything you need.

Ok, so first I took a screenshot of Apple character test. In Photoshop invert it and set it to B&W.



Also very useful reference was old magazine from '85.

The Font was made in PixelFontEdit. I gave it a number 26.

How do I install this font to DSK image and make it run on Apple VGA card? Thanks!

Ok, figured it out. I downloaded CiderPress II. Copied the file to Font disk of Apple VGA utilities disk. Had to contact one of the developers. There is also a bug in firmware of VGA card... etc etc will try today if it works on real Apple IIe.
