Building an Apple-1 From Scratch — Just Like Woz

Posted by Soulskill on from the is-that-the-one-the-president-flies-on dept.

Lucas123 writes "This year at KansasFest, computer fans from around the world gathered to celebrate the Apple II — the computer that put Apple on the map. But the Apple-1 (a.k.a. the Apple I), the machine Steve Wozniak invented and first demonstrated at the Palo Alto Homebrew Computer Club in 1976, has always been near to my heart. In attendance at KansasFest was Vince Briel, who created an authorized reproduction the Apple-1 and showed others how to build their own. 'As a regular KansasFest attendee (and the conference's marketing director), I was one of his students. Follow along as I assemble a fully functional Apple-1 clone.'"

    Yeah, and you could call it Derivative ROM Open Source Software. DROSS for short.

    I can think of others. JUNK and CRAP.

    They wouldn't walk through an old warehouse to collect the needed parts necessary for an Apple 1 assembly. I've never seen an Apple fanbio clean their own house in that regard. Usualy they pick some latino in a bodysuit and a Sean Connery accent to do all the work, from cleaining to reproduction.
