This takes me back to the days of using my 286 and 486 computers to access BBS systems. That was 1992 and 1996, respectively. Can you imagine playing Legend of the Red Dragon or Trade Wars with someone using an Apple I...?!
this is amazing! for some reason it's more fun to do online things on ancient, primitive computers than it is on modern ones. (i should really get an old Apple / Commodore)
really shows how far we've come while still seeming like absolute magic, that someone (woz) just made this out of thin air. Its hard for me to comprehend.
Haha nice! I built one of those Apple-1 replica's as well! I also have that same Apple II joystick adapter, and I de-soldered the blue wire to use as the keyboard cable in my Apple-1. But I've since then built a longer cable, so I'll be able to restore the joystick adapter at some point. Those ZIF sockets are the way to go in terms of persevering the original Apple II joystick connectors, which are a pain because they are so easy to bend! Great videos - always look forward to the new ones!
Man, I love those things, but just cannot afford them. I feel lucky I can see other people enjoying them and learn so much. Friggin love that "Electricity will kill you" sticker too! Now, that is something I cant try to get!
I absolutely love this. I've never been able to touch an actual Apple I but I did get to visit the example they have at the Smithsonian. Having such a great replica would be amazing and I love the little touches you made like the Reddy Kilowatt sticker and the school wood shop made napkin holder power supply. It brings a tear to my 1970's inner child.
The original Apple-1 had only 4K of RAM. I assume your replica is upgraded to the maximum 48K RAM. That still does not give very much space to do anything, especially when the Apple-1 had no networking stack, modem protocols, etc., built into it. I assume the wifi card has its own cpu and RAM which are doing the heavy lifting and then using the Apple-1's cpu to just read characters from the card, output them to the screen, read characters from the keyboard, send those back to the program running on the wifi card, etc. Very cool video.
The WiFi card has an ESP8266 chip, running at 80 or 160MHz, with 32kb+80kb of ram (separate instruction and data ram) and 4mb of flash memory. So, yeah. I'd assume the WiFi card is fast enough to emulate the Apple 1 if it wanted to. Doesn't take anything from the video of course.
@@Kennephone the cray-1 runs at 80mhz, but it is designed to churn through massive amounts of data whereas the esp8266 is designed to deal with shuffling small bits of data around. So it is kinda hard to compare the two.
The Apple 1 is really the world's first personal computer... Woz designed and built it just to be his own personal computer and jobs came along and convinced him to sell it. It was never meant to be sold, just for Woz to use personally.
Excellent video. I have been a little behind on your videos and didn’t know you had an Apple 1 replica. It’s surely the crown jewel of your impressive collection!
That is so stinkin' cool, man! I'm only 41, but I got into computers as a very young kid before it was "cool" to be into computers. My first modem and BBSing I did was on a CoCo2 with a 300 baud modem. When I was given an 8088 with a 1200 baud modem (which as slow by those days' standards even in 1991), I felt that I was just blazin' some trails LOL.
I'm 22, so I missed the age of dial up modems, but I can remember when I moved out at 18 and got my own internet everything felt so much faster, I went from getting 10mbps at best over wifi to 100 with a wired connection that never cut out.
This was a very interesting video and it has earned you a Subscription for sure. I do enjoy your style of presentation as well as showing off old hardware. That wooden power supply looks so 1800's!
I love that you are going deeper back into Apple's history. I have a feeling that you'll pivot to Amiga soon as you'll have exhausted the Apple well! 😂 Great video by the way!
In the uk in the 80’s a magazine Big K ran an interview with Woz in which he discussed the Apple 1 design and production. It was a few pages long and illustrated. Magazine ran for 2 or 3 issues, then defunct.
I have this same setup: an Apple 1 replica from Armin and a Datanetics replica keyboard from Michael Ng. I still need to build my power supply. Been working all summer on my silly pickup truck.
I had a chance to pick up one of those monitors at an estate sale a while back, and passed it up because I found a Commodore 1701 in the garage at the same place.
@BenEater has a couple of great videos about Wosmon, where he modifies it to run on his breadboard 6502 computer and goes into great detail about how it works.
Awesome machine the only thing I would have done is used a chip socket to make the Prom mods that needed to be done. that way you wouldn't need to solder direct to the chip and be less likely to damage them.
Yeah, I came here to say this. Normally you'd have to watch for clearance issues, adding sockets on sockets... but in this case, obviously there is plenty of room.
Saw your messages in Particles days ago (using a not much modern Atari 400 :) ). Sorry I didn't answer there, I didn't have time, but having received my replica from Armin and the keyboard from Michael weeks ago, I thought I had to find out how the heck did you connect yours to Particles. I need that WiFi board! And the transformers in order to try my board, still unused. Loved your video!
I had picked up an old junker Apple II way back in the day (my late father was a hoarder LOL). It was past it's prime and I didn't know much about it, and also one of the expansion boards (I believe it was meant for a printer) had already been broken at the slot, and someone had already 'repaired' it with a zillion jumper wires haha, but I didn't need that board anyways... Well, again I didn't yet know much of anything about the machine, nor did I even have any software for it. I DID have two floppy drives for it though, but again nothing to put in them. I also didn't know it had BASIC built in, but that didn't stop me from screwing around with it anyways. I discovered, totally by accident, that it apparently had a built in hex editor of it's own (I had no idea what this was at the time though). I believe the hotkey to access this crude hex editor was Control+Shift+6, or F6, I forget, something like that though...
@@lasskinn474 Cool cool. I'm still to this day not very familiar with the Apple II, but I assume that's what I stumbled into..? I dunno, but I was like 12 years old at the time and honestly knew absolutely nothing about computers yet, I didn't even get my first properly running Windows 3.0 PC until I was 13.
As I understand it, Woz created the Apple I to be an internet terminal and it competed with the "TV typewriter" by Don Lancaster. However, Tandy (Radio Shack) computer offered 16x64 lines of video output. Because of their many retail stores, the Radio Shack's TRS-80 outsold the Commodore PET and Apple II.
The Pom1 emulator appears to treat all ASCII output the same way as your Replica, although Pom1 outputs a bit slower. I also tried faux1 and Apple 1js, but the outputs from those aren't 100% correct. I tweaked your code a little. I eliminated the back and forth transfers between registers with LDX to init the counter (instead of LDA), TXA moved to before the ECHO to screen, and TAX removed altogether saving 1 byte. We could make this execute a little faster if you wanted to as ECHO actually preserves the Accumulator. So you could just ADC #$01 (2 cycles) at the end of each loop instead of the TXA (2 cycles) and INX (2 cycles), thus saving 2 cycles. But then you would need to put a CLC at the beginning of the code which would make it 1 byte longer. But since we're not concerned about speed, I think we can sacrifice the saved cycles in favor of saving the 1 byte and just stick to using TXA...INX. :-P Then I made the loop a conditional branch so that each ASCII value is only printed once, and then ended the code with jumping back to the monitor (instead of using RTS which locks up the system as there's nothing to RTS back to because the stack is empty). Here's the final result: ldx #$00 : txa jsr $FFEF ;ECHO - print char inx bne :- jmp $FF1F ;GETLINE - enter monitor and echo CR I like to use masswerk's online virtual 6502 assembler to assemble small projects. Here's the hex from assembling the above code: 0000: A2 00 8A 20 EF FF E8 D0 0008: F9 4C 1F FF
So in college I dialed into the campus VAX on my Apple //e to use a MUD that ran on a Xerox SPARC station in Palo Alto that I found through Gopher. All vintage tech.
That’s really cool. A but if constructive criticism though. Millennials like me don’t know what baud is but retro computer content creators never define it. I looked it up so I now know but terms that aren’t used anymore should be defined imo. Love your content and have a great day.
8 bit computers will never die as they're the easiest way to learn low-level programming, later stuff just gets way too complicated for beginners to wrap their heads around
@@chadmasta5 thanks for the info. Not a mac guy here just love dudes shenanigans. So you're saying in all likelihood it's ancient. Edit: I just assumed it came with the setup and could possibly be new old stock or something
@@soknightsam no problem! Yeah they're from 1979 and pretty pricey on ebay. You don't need an apple computer to use it, the input on the back is just composite video, so with an adapter you can use it with anything. Personally I don't think it's worth it unless the design is just too irresistible for you.
we have an apple one here in Turin exposed at a museum, but i saw it about a decade ago i dont really remember the name of the museum. i thought of it as soon as i saw Televideo RAI and Fatto quotidiano.
Omigod, where did you find that Sanyo monitor? That monitor was in Apple ads in the late '70s and early '80s. I remember pics of the Apple ][ with the Sanyo on left side of lid and two Disk ]['s on the right. Perfect.
Taking the Apple 1 online. Because why not? Now I was fully expecting it to connect to the internet and that being the end of it. The Apple 1 is so old that I wouldn't have been surprised if there was nothing to do with that thing on the web. I'm pleasantly surprised that BBS systems and MUDs are still going however. People talk about missing how the internet used to be, but it's still there, Just lurking behind 40 column text modes.
No need for an ad-blocker with that setup. But with all the exposed wires, that sticker on the power supply is appropriate. But one could do worse than Death-by-Apple-1.
What? No 1200 baud? LAME!!! Seriously, this is way cool. i've only seen Apple I's behind the glass in a museum and had no idea that someone actually made new ones. Very cool. Can you get Integer BASIC running on this?

For extra capabilities, connect both the keyboard and monitor to the ESP32, and leave the Apple 1 powered off.
Zork online is like the worlds first Cloud Gaming service!
"don't worry he's fine" lmao 2:08
Also do one in the tiny RC6502 Apple I Replica board.
Amazeballs.
Taking the Apple 1 online. Because why not? Now I was fully expecting it to connect to the internet and that being the end of it. The Apple 1 is so old that I wouldn't have been surprised if there was nothing to do with that thing on the web. I'm pleasantly surprised that BBS systems and MUDs are still going however. People talk about missing how the internet used to be, but it's still there, Just lurking behind 40 column text modes.
Can't find an apple for a gag? Eh, pepper's close enough.
No need for an ad-blocker with that setup. But with all the exposed wires, that sticker on the power supply is appropriate. But one could do worse than Death-by-Apple-1.
What? No 1200 baud? LAME!!! Seriously, this is way cool. i've only seen Apple I's behind the glass in a museum and had no idea that someone actually made new ones. Very cool. Can you get Integer BASIC running on this?
Someone has even ported Applesoft BASIC to it!
Can’t wait to see the Apple 1 run Snow Leopard
