This is a scrape of the information from the Apple 1 replica site with a lot of info. ***************************** It is provided as a copy, and is not authorized, so if you want to get the real info, you will have to get to the site for the real deal. I am only copying it here for those who didn't get it to come up due to web traffic issues. I am not associated with the seller at all. ***************************** Welcome to the Replica 1 website. After over a year on this project the final touches are being applied and final beta testing is being done. Please note that the Replica 1 will not come with a keyboard, power supply or monitor. Most standard ps/2 pc keyboards should work as well as most standard AT style pc power supplies. You can use your NTSC compatible monitor like I use, or hook it up to your TV’s video input jack. Feel free to email me with any questions or comments you may have. I will be producing these on a limited production basis. The first set of boards will be available for sale October 11, 2003. Special thanks goes out to Greg Glawitsch for creating the video ATMEGA8 code which made everything possible. Coming soon, cassette interface! Thanks Achim, and Larry! Vince Briel Q: Why don’t you try and make it look like the Apple 1 and use the same parts as the Apple 1. A. Well, the primary reason I’m doing this is because people who own Apple 1’s are afraid to power them up to run their software. By me having a functional clone, they will be able to eventually back up their programs and archive them. In addition, some of the original IC’s are very rare and almost impossible to find. Q: Why don’t you design it to use modern type monitors like VGA? A: By using standard composite monitors or TV’s with composite in it retains the essence of old 8bit computing. Q: Is the video available in both NTSC and PAL? A: Sorry, at this time only NTSC is available. Q: Will all the Apple 1 software work on the Replica? A: In theory, yes. Everything address wise has been left the same. Unfortunately, I don’t have any real software to try out yet. I have run the sample code that Woz wrote in the owner’s manual and they work just as described. Q: Isn’t the Woz Monitor the property of Apple? A: More than likely yes. But Woz was contacted about this and gave his ok. He stated that he handed it out along with his schematics long before there was an Apple computer company. Apple also turned all hardware and software matters over to the Apple 1 club and this project started and is still under the club. Q: I don’t have an ASCII or Apple II keyboard, what do I do? A: One of my last additions to the Replica was to add a microcontroller to interpret a standard PS/2 keyboard. So, you can use either a PS/2 keyboard or an Apple II/II+ keyboard. I did this because it is becoming harder to find ASCII keyboards to use. ********************* I am now taking pre-orders.
