Ben decides to take on another retro 8-bit computer project and builds an Apple 1 from scratch. He wires the CPU, ROM, and RAM to a PCB and adds some logic gates for memory addressing. With this basic 6502 computer complete, he uses an oscilloscope to take a look at what the CPU is doing. The digital data shows that the 6502 is functional and Ben can move on to the next step.

Ben,

Love the show, love this build especially being an Apple Fanboy. I went to the Supporting Files because I want to build my own Apple 1 Replica. I noticed that the AppleIReplicaCreation.pdf file seems to be corrupted in the documentation/Manual directory. I would love to see this get fixed as I want to be able to build my own Replica and for anyone else that wants to build their own replica.

Just thought I would say Great Job on the Apple 1 replica Mr. Heckendorn. just saw the video and really enjoyed both parts , but I was wondering will you be adding just a cassette interface or will you be using an SD card to save and load programs ?.

Again fantastic work.
