Now.. for those interested in this: with the KIM Uno you can actually run the Apple 1 software <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obsolescence.wixsite.com&#x2F;obsolescence&#x2F;kim-uno-apple-1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obsolescence.wixsite.com&#x2F;obsolescence&#x2F;kim-uno-apple-...</a><p>Look on Ebay for kits, then a cheap USB-to-TTL connector and you too can run Wozniak&#x27;s best from your top of the line mac&#x2F;pc. The disassembler is crazy powerfull given the size of the executable.<p>The same KIM uno (6502 emulation from Arduino Uno) runs KIM, a contemporary of Apple 1 (with much better documentation, check archive.org) and a masterpiece of engineering: Microchess from Peter Jennings (not that one). Microchess, was at the time (and arguably still is) software that is just so unbelievably brilliant thay it must have been recovered from the Roswell crash site, just like whatever Fabrice Bellard puts out these days.<p>Not saying that the 6502 was the best thing in the computer industry, but then again, yeah maybe it was.

A mockup version of this for the Apple II recently popped up on Antiques Roadshow. An Apple employee grabbed it out of a dumpster in the late 80s. Appraised at $10,000-15,000.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pbs.org&#x2F;video&#x2F;appraisal-1976-apple-i-operation-manual-mock-apple-i-89fwdh&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pbs.org&#x2F;video&#x2F;appraisal-1976-apple-i-operation-m...</a>

<i>The system is fully expandable to 65K, with the entire data and address busses, clocks, control signals ( i. e. IRQ, NMI, DMA, RDY, etc.), and power sources available at the connector.</i><p>Were any of those (few) sold boards ever expanded to the maximum possible RAM? That would be a beast of a machine, for cheap, in 1976.<p>Also: 65K of memory? Not 64K?

&gt; thus being an educational tool for the learning of microprocessor programming<p>Raspberry Pi started out with pretty much the same product description, 40 years later.
