AppleCrate II: Apple II-Based Parallel Computer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-that's-useful dept.

sproketboy noted that many years ago Michael J. Mahon built the AppleCrate — a parallel stack of Apple IIs — for no good reason. Recently he came back with the AppleCrate II, which more than doubles the number of motherboards, and at least triples the awesomeness.

    Apple II == 6502 CPU from Commodore Semiconductor

    I'd sooner have an Apple IIgs stack however (with its 16 bit 65000). Same ease-of-use as the original 8 bit computer, but operates about six times faster, and has a Mac-style OS.
