Description

@btb has kindly sent a premade version of his Super Serial card clone: https://github.com/btb/SuperSerial

I just received it, and just need to find a good adapter (or just plug into the right pins) to communicate with it through either a Pi/Pico or my laptop via USB!

Would be nice to have a faster/more reliable way to transfer data than the cassette interface, since the Disk II card seems to be on the fritz. See #4

Research direction

Start with the linked Super Serial clone repository and the Apple II card connection details, then determine whether a suitable adapter or direct pin connection can communicate through a Pi, Pico, or USB laptop. Done means the card communicates reliably with the Apple II and provides a faster transfer path than the cassette interface.
