A software defined VGA and Z80 card for your Apple II (V2 Analog)

We're taking a look at the V2 Analog, an awesome open source (OSS/OSH) project for the Apple II to give the machine not only VGA output but a high speed Z80 for CPM, all in a small open source card using easily obtainable parts.

The card also has a lot of potential to be able to add all sorts of additional functionality to the Apple II, all just with firmware updates!
