Rework connecting PIA to proto area with multi-color ribbon cable.
No number sticker on the back.
According to the auction text from 2010, the motherboard was modified by Steve Wozniak to add an interface for a potentiometer and two tapes. The potentiometer was used as a paddle. The seller guessed that it was used for the game Breakout.
The name of this Apple-1 was changed in 2021 from 'Nexon Museum' to 'Hattfield.' Hattfield was the first owner, and this name is always the first choice.
The original owner of the Apple-1 on sale was Fred Hatfield, not the former major league baseball player. In 2013, an auction house made a wrong statement about a former football player. The original owner was able to prove that it was his Apple-1 and that he is not the baseball player.
