Product Description

Product Description

The perfect book for computer hobbyists, Apple I Replica Creation: Back to the Garage is sure to equally appeal both to kids with gift certificates looking for fun on a snowy January day as well as to adults eager to learn the basics of simple microcomputer design. The book will begin by teaching readers the basics of computer processing by discussing the functionality of the 9 chip on the Apple I motherboard. From there, readers will be taught the basics of memory access and video input and output. Readers then learn how to assemble the various hardware components into a fully functioning Apple I replica. Finally, readers will learn how to write their own applications to take run on their new/old computer.

*Written by the webmaster of AppleFritter.com, which is the most popular Mac hobbyist Web site on the internet with over 10,000 visitors a day.

*Interest in vintage Apple I Computers is extremely high, with original machines selling for as much as $50,000.

*The only modern-day book to address general microcomputer design from a hobbyist perspective

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than University, 20 Mar 2005
Having already done a Computing Science degree, I was a bit skeptical about what I could learn from this book, however, the answer is a lot.

I had covered things such as digital circuitry, and assembler at University, but this book bridges the gap that my little dutch lecturer failed to explain.

The book can be followed at your own pace and has frequent user experience examples. I got through the book (without companion replica1 building) in a day, and should I ever come across an Apple1 or Replica1, I would now know exactly what's going on.

All the major elements of the computer are explained, in their parts and how they integrate. Most of these elmenets are still found in modern computers (albeit faster and smaller than here).

If you want to learn how the first computers were designed and built, and even build one yourself, this is the book for you.
