I decided to use a  Mark Aikens' VGA Board  in my  homebrew project (https://github.com/markadev/AppleII-VGA) to simplify (a lot) the video generation circuit proposed by Wozniak to generate NTSC video and also have VGA output.

The AppleII-VGA card works on both AppleII+ and Apple//e, but generates 80-column mode only for apple//e. Last week, I was studying how to emulate the Videx Videoterm board to provide 80-column mode for Apple II computers through Mark's project.

So now, my homebrew appleII+ and my old Apple II+ machine (an Exato Pro CCE - Brazilian AppleII+ clone) can enjoy the wonderful world of 80 columns video modes via VGA output :D
