7. Supports "RPI" command from BASIC to execute Linux commands from the command prompt or inside BASIC programs: `10 PRINT CHR$(4);"RPI ls -al /"` (Note that currently RPI command only works if the card is in slot 7 but this will be updated)
## Project Status
So far, this is a project and not a finished product. The current prototype is on the fifth revision and about 20 have been assembled and tested. It is now possible for the Apple II to boot from and write to virutal hard drive images stored on the RPi in any slot (except slot 3) and run a bash shell on the RPi via the Apple II. The code has very few tests and is incomplete. Note that currently the firmware assumes an 80 column card is in slot 3 and than you have lowercase support. If you have a problem or idea for enhancement, log an issue [here](https://github.com/tjboldt/Apple2-IO-RPi/issues). I recommend starring/watching the project for updates on GitHub. You are welcome to fork the project and submit pull requests which I will review.

Most testing has been done with an enhanced Apple //e with the card in slot 7. If you have other drive controllers earlier in the boot cycle, you can still boot from the Apple2-IO-RPi. For example, if the card was in slot 4, you could type `PR#4` from the BASIC prompt to boot the card.

## Roadmap
1. Allow more than two virutal hard drives at a time
