Go to next entry #2
Note: This is the 1th entry in the list, and not the 1th Apple-1 produced. The Apple-1 does not have a regular serial number. Only some Apple-1 have a handwritten serial number.
It is the first prototype hand-wired by Steve Wozniak. Steve used point-to-point soldered wiring rather than wire wrap because it was easier to follow the wiring once built.
The prototype is shown in an early video by Steve Wozniak himself (Video section of this page). In an interview, Woz talked about the upper board you can see in pictures. There are 4 white 2 KB EPROMs, and that's how he developed BASIC and other routines of the Apple-1.
At one time in Apple Computer's History display — Woz indicates that the current location is unknown. It is possible that a second unit was built — Woz's memory is hazy about the number he made. An early Apple employee mentioned that there was a fire in Woz's garage at one point, and it may have been destroyed.
