Background on the Apple II Rev 0 Replica<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first 6000 or so Apple II\u2019s sold, were equipped with what is called a revision 0 motherboard. A number of Apple II motherboards were also sold at the same time without case, keyboard or power supply. Most of these bare board systems were revision 0. One of these early machines was my personal Apple II. At some point, when the machine was on loan to a family member\u2019s business, the original rev 0 board failed. It was repaired via replacing the motherboard with a rev 3 board. Over the last few years, I\u2019ve been working to restore the machine to original condition. In the process, I\u2019ve spent a long time looking for an appropriate Rev 0 motherboard. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default”]
Over the Past year (2021_2022) I have been getting the parts together to make a Apple II Rev 0 computer. To add to my Apple II line collection.<\/p>\n
It’s been a labor of love and a lot of fun, this is a small amount of photo’s to show how it came about, as I designed the case from old bits of New Zealand Rimu i had laying around and Aluminum left over for the OSI project.<\/p>\n
I have also made myself up some CFFA cards for tesingt on the Apple II line of computers<\/p>\n
