@blakespot I have a TTL RGB card in the IIe - Taxan Video-7 80 column/64k card (model 410-64) . It's very similar to but not identical to the Apple-branded RGB Video-7 80 column card that was released in 1984 which also uses the aux slot. Both of these cards' connector are very close to the Apple III RGB connector, so are able to use a
JCM Universal Apple RGB Adapter by @MuseumJoe to connect to a CGA monitor (see the link for details about the adapter). Bought it before I found the CM-5 and I've been happy about how well it works.

Yay, saw (fabled) Apple /// today in Wroclaw's Museum of Games and Computers gikme.pl . Yes, the one which run SOS (which Billy G's gang laid over their CP/M knockoff and sold as DOS3).

I've been listening to the podcast archive lately so I knew what was I looking at.

Was my first run in with Commodores too..

Oh, and you can play various games and systems! Even got a run on Centipiede ( by Dona Bailey)🤘😁

Here some more appearances for older Apple computers. The first episode of "The Midnight Club" has a Macintosh Classic and there are Apple IIes in the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode "Broken Promises". Finally, an episode of "The Littlest Hobo" has a couple of rarities: an Apple III and an Apple Lisa.
