This BLOG corrects much of the false early history of Apple Computer, Inc. I also show in detail, how to build an Apple 1 clone, and an BASIC expansion card.

When the Apple 1 was first sold in 1976, it was sold as a kit that had to be assembled by the buyer. The Byte Shop, which was located in Mountain View, California, purchased the first 50 Apple 1 computers from Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak for $500 each, and then sold them to customers for $666.66.</p><p>It's believed that the white stickers with a number on them were used by the Byte Shop to keep track of their inventory and sales, and to match the individual boards with their corresponding cases and manuals. The exact meaning of the numbers on the stickers is not known, but it's believed that they may have represented the order in which the computers were sold or the date they were received by the Byte Shop.</p><p>Today, Apple 1 computers are rare and highly sought after by collectors, and the presence of the white stickers can add to the historical significance and provenance of a particular machine.</p><p><b>Question: if the byte shop purchased 50, why are some of the numbers on the stickers higher than 50, for example, 86?</b></p><p>ChatGPT Answer: You are correct that the Byte Shop initially purchased 50 Apple 1 computers from Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. However, it's possible that they continued to purchase more Apple 1 computers directly from Apple or from other sources after the initial 50 were sold.</p><p>It's also worth noting that some Apple 1 computers were sold as partially assembled or unassembled kits, which may have been numbered separately from the fully assembled computers. Additionally, some of the Apple 1 computers were sold to other retailers, and it's possible that they also used inventory stickers or labels.</p><p>So, while the exact details may not be known, it's likely that the white stickers with numbers higher than 50 were used to track inventory and sales of Apple 1 computers beyond the initial batch sold to the Byte Shop.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237845887111894190.post-55841067153323267602023-03-03T02:20:00.001-05:002023-03-03T02:20:32.004-05:00<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo_gRiNxo_y2dACN_g_ADzN3LdI5QgTg8Kc7ymrHpWUzNtYVsjWXYRw_ct7lxgy_ibyD32_VmB6PUJe0g9kT-X4IfOBuYRfH9t1ChnXcd3cpRE1inOdlcOvfdrQDHKfTvUk5s2HpZ5RSPy8sd9N8reB4VYNfSnfdZvjXSDGW6K24JCKUNIBslsWV1L8A/s893/apple_datanetics.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="893" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo_gRiNxo_y2dACN_g_ADzN3LdI5QgTg8Kc7ymrHpWUzNtYVsjWXYRw_ct7lxgy_ibyD32_VmB6PUJe0g9kT-X4IfOBuYRfH9t1ChnXcd3cpRE1inOdlcOvfdrQDHKfTvUk5s2HpZ5RSPy8sd9N8reB4VYNfSnfdZvjXSDGW6K24JCKUNIBslsWV1L8A/s320/apple_datanetics.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237845887111894190.post-22589917837260496842023-02-23T21:05:00.003-05:002023-02-23T21:10:45.740-05:00<p> Apple-1 for sale - this one was not in the registry.

John Gott has asked that this image NOT be distributed/posted on any other site or publication. Thank you for respecting his request - he was gracious enough to go through the effort to determine the address, based on what he could find, and share this great piece of history with us. Thank you John Gott!</div>

So, here's a bit more clarification from Woz, as John Gott's letter from Woz, shows the address as Apt. #16D (not yet #16K). <br />
<br />
And now we know *why* Woz moved. :)<br />
<br />
Villa Serra Apartments<br />
20800 Homestead Rd<br />
Cupertino, CA 95014<br />
#16D<br />
<br />
(408) 255-6666<br />
<br />
Per Woz:<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I lived in 2 apartments in that complex.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The first one was on the ground floor and the 2nd was in a different building on an upstairs floor.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I created my “Crazy Polak” business cards while living in the first apartment, downstairs.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Most of the Apple design stuff took place there but some took place after I moved.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>One reason for moving was that a loose pet mouse, which I thought was a male, turned out to be female and I wound up with a dozen mice and a horrible allergy with asthma and I was told that moving was my only hope.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The building I moved to may have had my apartment as some other number - K. Or maybe I stayed in the same building after all. Hard to remember. But the Apple work was split between the 2 apartments, and I think most of it was done in 16D now.</i><br />

This is a video from some of the guys that <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/personal-computers/17/312/2311" target="_blank">started the Homebrew Compuer Club</a>. The club was started on March 5, 1975, but this date is questionable, as mentioned in the video.<br />

<br />
<b>Villa Serra Apartments</b><br />
20800 Homestead Rd, Apt 16K<br />
Cupertino, CA 95014<br />
Phone number(408) 257-1060<br />
<br />
When Steve Wozniak lived in the apartments at the above address, the name of the complex was known as: <br />
<br />
<b>Villa Serra Apartments</b><br />
<br />
Apparently, the complex had an overhaul, and was later renamed:<br />
<br />
<b>The Markham Apartments</b><br />

I asked Woz if he remembered the apartment number, and this is his response:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>I don’t remember the apartment number.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>I had a lower apartment early on at that complex but very soon moved to an upstairs one…something like 22L or 24L I think but I have no reason to think that, especially the number. I might be able to find the exact apartment location in person.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>I’d say that maybe half of the design and conception and most of the software work was done in that apartment, but the real prototype construction was done in my cubicle at HP, mostly at night. I’d go home from work, eat a tv-dinner, watch Star Trek, and often head back to the building. I sometimes worked on HP stuff at night but usually my own fun constructions.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>There are people who may have old address books with my apartment number. I have too many artifacts in too much storage to find it myself, although I’ll keep an eye out. You might also consider HP records. The APD division is now in Corvalliis, Oregon.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Actually, I may have been in the upstairs apartment at first and then moved. I do remember that it was the upstairs apartment where I ran at least part of dial-a-joke, which was ahead of the Apple stuff.</i></div>

This is the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul7NkLGtD84&t=5s" target="_blank">VERY FIRST Apple-1</a> ever built, in Steve Wozniak's apartment, and after hours at HP. It is hand-wired, and soldered underneath. The wooden case was built by Randy Wigginton's father. I asked Woz where this computer is, he said it may be in storage. At one point it was on display, I believe at Apple Computer, Inc.</div>

<b>UPDATE: Sun May 7, 2017 - Randy Wigginton's memory recollects that the Apple-1 was built in apartment #16K, on the second floor:</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Hi John,</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Yeah, I would know it if I went there in person; it might be 16K, for some reason that feels right. I do know that his phone number back then was 408-255-6666. When he built the Apple I he was in an upstairs apartment; I never visited him in a downstairs apartment. He drove the worst car in the world - a Fiat :)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Next time I am down that way I will drive to the complex and take a look - I'm curious myself now.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>After informing Woz, here's his response:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>WOW</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>16K feels very correct to me…strong enough that I’m very sure it’s right. 2nd floor.</i></div>

I checked the above number 255-6666 and verified that this was the number that Woz asked for, for his dial-a-joke biz (reference, page 130, "iWoz" book, published in 2006).</div>

This is the first 2519B shift register from Signetics I've ever seen on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-The-Apple-1-Signetics-2519b-Chip-1974-Date-Code-Tested-Good-/141460513719?hash=item20efb423b7:g:ahMAAOSw1XdUWVik" target="_blank">ebay</a> (2 available) $110 And all of us who have had to shop around know that they are very hard to find!<br />
Date code 1974. (I found 11 in Germany and had to purchase the whole tube!)<br />
<br />
By the way - the seller is the same guy I purchased my Datanetics keyboard from years ago (serial number 10, stamped May 1976) ( A few years ago, Mike Willegal <a href="http://www.willegal.net/appleii/apple1-datanetics.htm" target="_blank">cloned my keyboard</a> I don't know if Mike has any kits left - from what I recall he had a relatively small production run) Anyway, the seller generally has pretty fair prices - but he knows this chip is rare.<br />
<br />
This one looks to be plastic, I believe mine are ceramic, I'd have to double check.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
