How to Build an Apple 1 Replica Computer [Video]

Ben Heck is sharing instructions on how to build a replica Apple 1 computer in a new three part episode of The Ben Heck Show. The last vintage Apple 1 to be auctioned sold for an incredible $905,000.

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.
