FallowEarth Posted September 23, 2005 CID Share Posted September 23, 2005 Apple I (Bookmark This Page) CPU CPU: MOS Technology 6502 CPU Speed: 1 MHz FPU: none Bus Speed: 1 MHz Data Path: 8 bit Onboard RAM: 8 kB Maximum RAM: 32 kB Video VRAM: 1 kB Max Resolution: 60.05 Hz, 40x24 char Storage Miscellaneous Codename: ? Power: 58 Watts Introduced: April 1976 Terminated: 1977 The Apple I was Steven Wozniak's first contribution to the personal computer field. It was designed over a period of years, and was only built in printed circuit-board form when Steve Jobs insisted it could be sold. It debuted in April 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, but few took it seriously. The Apple I was based on the MOStek 6502 chip, whereas most other "kit" computers were built from the Intel 8080. The Apple I was sold through several small retailers, and included only the circuit board. A tape-interface was sold separately, but you had to build the case. The Apple I's initial cost was $666.66 from: http://www.apple-history.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
