I should add that part of the fun is to locate parts for free or cheap from
dead or unimportant period electronics, cards, etc. In that way slowly
building up what is needed to complete parts of the Apple I replica one
piece at a time. I am not in a rush.
I am totally doing that, but outside of early-70s dumb terminals and
maybe some early electronic sound effect devices, there aren't a lot
of places to encounter massive PMOS shift registers. RAM and generic
logic are easy enough to find with patience. Closed TI sockets are
also findable, but they were awful then and haven't improved one bit
with age.
