RC6502 Apple 1 SBC (revision H)
Did you ever want to try your hand at soldering together a computer? Now you can relive the experience Wozniak had tinkering while building the first Apple computer in his garage, all from the comfort of your favourite workspace... Most of the design-work already done, so just heat up your soldering iron and get to work on it!
This is the single board version of the computer, see the github page if you want a more modular design that separates functions in the same way the RC2014 does. The SBC version includes everything you need in order to get started, so it is the one to start with though the rest of designs are available should you wish to alter or adapt them to suit your own needs - each of the functions can be disabled on the board, allowing you to replace them with a new card inserted into a backplane. The role of keyboard and display is replaced by a simple Arduino Nano so this is truly a minimal design, with a few added bells and whistles because of course I did!
When you're finished with the SBC there's the backplane connector at the bottom, this means that unlike most SBC projects you can do whatever you want with it afterwards - get the prototyping board and you can easily make your own enhancements or features Wozniak himself even dreamt of back then! I always recommend getting the backplane for the computer
This is revision H of the design, it fixes the small errors found on revisions C and D. Mostly, the other changes since then have been cosmetic in order to bring the PCB up to the standard of my later designs (I'm still very much an amateur and not an electronics designer by profession, so it is only a hobby for me).
Check out the documentation on github for more information.
