NEW – Also available now as a discounted package bundle with the A2DVI card here.
When we designed our 8bitdevices A2DVI card, we looked at all the previous designs and realized that the rear facing video connector was a deal-breaker for Apple ][+ and Franklin owners, as it limited which card slots you could use. That is why our A2DVI card has the video connector on the front. But what about Apple //e owners? Who wants to fit an HDMI cable through a D connector slot in the chassis each time you disconnect the computer?
This is why we manufacture a custom Apple //e panel mount HDMI connector and toggle switch. There is little chance of damaging the video connector on your DVI card when it’s fastened to the computer chassis itself, and you won’t be limited to which slots you can install your A2DVI card in. It also adds an “alternate character” toggle switch to your 8bitdevices A2DVI card, so you can use the alternate font and video mode switch functions of A2DVI on computers that did not come with the European factory character switch.
The mounting adapters are built from 1.6mm thick fiberglass-reinforced epoxy laminate material with a satin black finish (we tried 3D printing first, but it lacked the required strength). A 30cm HDMI male/female cable, toggle switch with 50cm Dupont wires, and the required adapters and mounting hardware are all included.
The HDMI panel mount requires an available DB-25 opening in the chassis. The toggle switch can be mounted in a DB-9 or DB-25 chassis opening (only the DB-9 adapter is shown in the photo, but we send both sizes).
