Joe Torzewski is also the curator of the Apple-1 Users Group which has existed for many years. He was allowed by Apple, Inc. to take over support of the Apple-1 when Steve Jobs basically eliminated it from the face of the earth.

His new model of the historical computer not only emulates the Apple-1 but it allows the user to utilize newer hardware such as monitors, keyboards and compact flash memory produced in this decade. This capability has led to two version of the board and also a popular book by Tom Owad of Applefritter.com fame, “Building the Replica-1”.<br /> <a href="http://www.brielcomputers.com/"> http://www.brielcomputers.com/</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <a href="http://www.achatz.nl/catalog/index.php?cPath=3"> <img border="0" src="../images/links/links.19.jpg" width="111" height="82" /></a></td> <td align="justify">While not as popular as the Replica-1, the A-One is another Apple-1 replica machine which allows the users to experience computing from the 1970’s.

The best bit about the program is that it will fin in just under 4K leaving plenty of space for programming.<br /> <a href="http://school.anhb.uwa.edu.au/personalpages/kwessen/apple1/Krusader.htm"> http://school.anhb.uwa.edu.au/personalpages/kwessen/apple1/Krusader.htm</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">&nbsp;</td> <td align="justify">The A.P.P.L.E.

It has been painstakingly converted to HTML by Achim Breidenbach of BOINX Software.&nbsp; If you just want to see what the computer was like from a distance, then this is a good overview of the usage. While Apple really never produced any professional manuals for the Apple-1, this was as good as it got.
