First review Apple doc that came with their prototyping board.  I think that this is the best overview of major features of the peripheral interface that I've seen.

scans of the pages can be found on my blog

Second is review my superproto page.  This prototyping card implements most of the fundemental features that are described in the doc.

There are a number of quirks with the Apple II peripheral interface, so I'd also recommend that you review the Apple II tech notes, which can be found online.  There is one that covers interfacing the 6522 and another with information about ground and power planes on peripheral cards that may be of interest.

Where you go from there depends alot upon your goals and expertise.
