Hi to all, I am a retrocomputer fan and I discovered the Apple I very in late. I was watching the movie "Jobs" and when Woz showed the Apple1 to Jobs, I literally fel in love with it.
I know it's impossible to find and buy one, so since I have written several emulators I decided to write one based on a Arm Cortex microcontroller board. I know it's nothing compared to have a real one in my hands but I would like to see how far I can go with it.
I wanted to thank you all for the information I have found in this website. Very precious, especially the full document about the Replica 1.
What I did so far is the skeleton of the emulator, the 6502, the PIA and the video section. I developed a TV composite video driver that handles progressive and interlaced modes on both PAL and NTSC. There is a lot still to do, but I like this system very much 
Sounds like a great project.
Can't wait to see your finished project.
Cheers,
Corey
Thanks, as soon as possible I will share more details about this project. Probably I will design a custom board also and a special ASCII keyboard, but anyway I will keep you informed
Would almost be cool to have a single board machine with a keyboard built in so all you do is add cherry switches to the PCB. Don't forget to make a built in cassette interface. Then you'd have a nice single board machine.
The Cherry buttons are awesome and give you the feeling of the retro keyboard. The All-in-one design is cool, but actually my idea was a bit different about the size and layout. I would like to design a compact size, for both MoBo, Keyboard and monitor, something I can always keep on my desk
Probably I will design a "unusual" keyboard. But other than that, I would like to implement the cassette interface. This won't be that easy but that is the fun part 
I would like to build something similar to this, but smaller for my desk
Of course the parts will be a bit different, and modern, but the look and feel is this one 
Ha-Ha!
Steve sitting there smiling while his bosses look at his work
and tell him why it will never sell. Beautiful.
Oh Yes. I watch "Pirates" at least every other month or so.
Ya gotta love it!
Steven
Love is not the right verb, I adore it
I also watch it very often, together with "Jobs" with Ashton Kutcher. Sometimes I have a full marathon with the three movies "Pirates of Silicon Valley", "Jobs" and "Steve Jobs".
I still am amazed by how things were done...
Anyway, I just added a serial input method as a temporary keyboard to test better the emulator and things are working and the small TV LCD display hooks the signal. I am very excited.
Almost there... Ready to mount the M0110 keyboard and the rest
Here it is the STM32 Apple I (Mark I), a bit rough, and the monitor still under construction, but it works for now
Nothing compared to the real one of course, may Woz forgive me for this "Frankenstein" project, but it's a lot of fun to build something like this.
MoBo: STM32F4 discovery board by ST
Keyboard interface: Arduino mini compatible (AtMega 328)
Keyboard: Apple Macintosh 128K M0110
soon more images and possibly a video.
While not the original stuff. This is still pretty cool. Perhaps even better because it isn't something thing that'll have to be coddled and kept in a glass case where no one enjoys it. Plus, it's built from modern components which are lower power and infinitely more reliable. And unlike a display queen, it doesn't need its own insurance policy. But best of all it is realistic and usable and upgradable.
Even the fun of building it up is pioneering in a sense. These advantages also apply to other replicas.
Coddled and kept in a glass case... except for a couple in some museums, the real ones are either used or kept in a 10x5 Bank Vault deposit box.
Digi,
Very Cool.
Steven
Thank you all,
here there are more photos, I just finished the video monitor. I could call this model "Mark1" since the keyboard is not the definitive, but for now I am happy
Very Cool!
Steven
Some pictures of the "Making of the monitor"
I know that board, that was radio shack monitor wasn't it.
Maybe, I got this from an old portable TV set here in Italy
But you know all of these boards came from the same place 
Probably this TV was from late 80s...
nice and eccenelnt works!
i made an Apple //e Raspberry pi in a paper case running at bootup a true Apple //e emulator and an Apple iigs emulator from command line at startup.
