If you're a fan of retro computers, you're likely to admire Apple, also known as the Apple computer built by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
The machine , designed by Wozniak, sold for $666.66 when it was first made available to the public in July 1976. However, its release was soon discontinued in 1977, after the new Apple II model was released.
However, now SmartyKit allows you to create an exact replica of the Apple I. This DIY kit has been created specifically for Apple enthusiasts and people in general who are interested in this type of machine.
The SmartyKit includes all the components such as breadboards and cables in various colors, which will enable you to build your own Apple I replica. Furthermore, assembling the computer does not require soldering.
It is a particularly interesting project for those who like this kind of thing. However, as the creators of the kit state, it can also function as an educational model, for a better understanding of how a computer and the components it is made of.
The SmartyKit includes the following components:
Breadboards
Chip with firmware
Electronic components
Cables
Colored cables
PS/2 and RCA connectors
RCA cable
Another interesting feature about the SmartyKit is that it includes the original 256-byte Apple operating system created by Steve Wozniak called Monitor.
The Kit , which will be released later this year, will be available for $99. If you want to be regularly updated on the development of SmartyKit, you can visit the project website
In addition to the kit, you will need to purchase a PS/2 to USB adapter and a Composite video to HDMI adapter to use modern keyboards with the Apple I replica.
