The "dotted box" refers to a normally

components shown within the "dotted box" are just 4 transistors and a
handful of resistors and caps. Remember that the 6502 was largely an
electrical clone of the 6800 with a different instruction set. Obviously
the supplied monitor ROMs wouldn't have run on the 6800, but the monitor
source is supplied and could be translated.
Interesting, but did Apple ever ship it configured as a 6800 machine?
They always shipped with a 6502, right?
BTW, if you can find the book "So Far" it shows some of the cool cases
that were made for the Apple 1 and mentions the Byte Shop deal in which
the Byte Shop offered to buy the first 50 and make "proper" cases for it.
