Just FYI, my comment was directed at the not so smart Apple I Computer, not your small typing error.
And, No soldered components! Except for the odd electronic bits: resistors and capacitors.What, no Apple stickers!![]()
Was the title to this article cry about not getting what you want when you want it?
I want my Mac Pro!!!
I want my Mac mini!!!
I want this, I want that!!!
Until then, spam every article on the web.
How about a Commodore 64?
Huh... fair enough, although I would've chosen a less satanic number [shrug]Steve Wozniak liked repeating numbers.
... / car / comic book / baseball card / vase / violin / etc.Somebody is going to get a hefty payout for hanging on to that outdated machine.
Choosing a satanic number alongside having the "byte" out of the Apple (forbidden fruit) as new logo, was their (Jobs / Woz) way of expressing freedom of thought and fight against the status quo. A hippie thing.Huh... fair enough, although I would've chosen a less satanic number [shrug]
The manufacturer of the PCB.What's an "NTI" sign?
The first batch did not have the PCB manufacturer on the front copper layer of the board. The later batch had the label NTI on the front, etched in copper right under the "APPLE COMPUTER 1" logo
But you need at least 10%, sorry.With that kind of money I could make a down-payment on a house in Toronto!
I'd recognize that Apple ][ keyboard anywhere. But it's not surprising that connects directly to the old motherboard, the same way it connected to the new one. I was going to buy an Apple 1 kit but it didn't come with a keyboard and I had no idea how to retrofit one. So I bought a SOL-20 kit instead. Oops.
I did some research and it appears the "pre-NTI" boards were an earlier production run, they switched to NTI as the manufacturer of their printed circuit boards at some point. I put together a picture showing the NTI board on top, and the pre-NTI on the bottom. I believe these boards are basically the same color of green but the bottom pic is overexposed due to use of a flash. You can see the NTI logo inside a diamond centered under the Apple Computer 1 label. That logo is actually etched in the board, it's the same metal as the circuit traces. It's common practice for manufacturers to add their logo on the PCB like this. If you watch the video, this Apple 1 does not have the NTI logo etched in the board, so I have no idea what they meant when they claim it includes the "rare NTI sign." I think they meant just the opposite, that it is rare because it does not have the NTI sign.
