LittleBit line of Products

Posted in

A Little bit of inspiration and ingenuity… goes a long way.

In doing my part to contribute to the Apple community, I am developing products for the Apple line.

On the following pages, I will be listing a few products. Developed and produced by me, and sold through Reactive Micro, Ultimate Apple II, or dropping me a note either through email or Skype.

LittlePower

My first project was quite an accident. I have always wanted to create an Apple based robot. For it to be total mobile, I created a 12V adapter for the IIgs. It was this ‘homemade’ adapter that I took to Kfest 2007 to run the IIGS that I had took along. In the course of a week, everybody had seen that I had a IIGS with a Transwarp, Microdrive, Ramfast SCSI, and Profile Harddrive all running off of a mini 12V power supply.

That is when I met Henry Courbis, of Reactive Micro. He convinced me to do a production run of my adapter, and allow him to sell it. Sean Fahey begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting was instrumental in the naming of this project, and I will follow his lead on the naming of the rest of my projects. With the completion of this project, it has opened up the totally portability of all the Applle II line of computers.

Watch this site for the future release of a 12V power supply for the Apple II,II+, IIe and the IIc+.

This project is only one step in a cooperative venture to produce the ROM 4 IIgs.

LittleProto II

If you have ever had an interfacing idea for the Apple II, and have not been able to test it with out dragging out the wire wrapping tools, or the soldering equipment, this project is for you. I have designed a solderless breadboard that plugs into any Apple II slot and provides you access to all the pins. This project is for all the Hardware people out there that just does not want to go through all the hassle to test one idea.

GumDrop

This is my Kfest project this year. All will be revealed at the end of July.

LittlePower II

The LittlePower for the IIgs has had such a great response, I have created one for the IIe. Since the IIe has so much more room in the case, using an ATX power supply is the ideal application.

BussTap

The BussTap was created to allow you to attach a 50 pin flat ribbon cable to extend the Apple Buss to the outside of the case. One of the projected accessories to compliment this item is an extend-a-slot.
