It's likely that in the era of the Apple 1 they weren't that set on
archiving stuff for historical purposes. You used to be able to pick up
TONS of great old hardware (S-100 boards and systems, and lots of good
stuff) at Swapmeets when everybody had retired it and all anybody wanted
was a fast '286 motherboard.
Didn't the original manufacturer keep the
masks needed to make new
boards? Not like somebody would throw away anything useful from a
company that grew so fast like Apple did.
Woz has been asked this a million times...he doesn't know what
happened to them. The same goes for a lot of stuff from the early
days.
