 # Apple2-IO-RPi
 Apple II expansion card using a Raspberry Pi for I/O
+
+## Project Status
+This is a very early stage project. Currently one partially completed physical prototype exists that sends data unidirectional from the Raspberry Pi Zero W to the Apple II via 8 bit parallel data bus.
+
+## Purpose
+The purpose of this project is to provide I/O for an Apple II series 8 bit computer via a Raspberry Pi Zero W which is powered by the Apple II expansion bus.
+
+## Similar Project
+If you're looking for complete hardware design or prefer having Apple II peripherals control a control a Raspberry Pi rather than simply using the Raspberry Pi to provide storage and network access to the Apple II, have a look at David Schmenk's excellent [Apple2Pi](https://github.com/dschmenk/apple2pi) project.
