Connecting Raspberry Pi to Apple iigs

that sounds sufficient.

terminal software for the apple, and configure a getty to run on the usb serial port. (do this in /etc/inittab) lszrz on the pi for file transfers

generally 2G is the minumum reccomended, using a 2g card it's probably posible to remove packages until it fits on 1GB, but the difference in price is like $1, so why bother.

Hi Jason, thanks for the reply.

Im a whole lot of noob when it comes to Linux and the pi. Could you point me to a link (step by step tutorial) on how to configure the usb serial port you mentioned. Im assuming that with this software configuration all I would do is plug the null modem cable I have to the gs, then plug the serial to usb cable to that and the usb end to the pi? Does it matter which usb port (upper or lower) I use?.

As for the storage i went and purchased a 8gb micro sd that was recommended for use with the pi. Im in the process of hopefully installing a OS on it (finger crossed).

Thanks again for your help.

Yoy may also want to to look at this:

In summary: this is an Apple II expansion card that mounts the RPi inside the Apple II. Communication is via the serial port on the RPi.

I have been playing with a BETA version of the A2Pi for several weeks now and it has been a real learning experience for me (Being a complete Linux NOOB). No serial wires/cables to hook up, just plug in and play. There is also Ivan's A2server and A2cloud :

Minor nitpick, the package name is lrzsz. If there's a Kermit program for the IIgs you can also use ckermit or gkermit on the Pi.
