Quite difficult, indeed!
The real Apple 1 didn't have ANY USB ports!
And, it didn't use ANY microcontrollers!
At this point, I have to ask myself this: "What's the practical
difference between a "genuine" Apple I and one constructed from old
parts (even old PCB)?"
In other words, what TANGIBLE difference is there?
I think that this is a valid question for the scientifically-minded.
While someone may insist that it's not possible to make a perfect
copy of the Mona Lisa, it's certainly not outside the realm of
possibility to make a perfect copy of an old computer.
