This particular Apple-1 was most likely the first Apple computer used outside of Norther America. It is listed on the @Apple1Registry as #89 “Schlumberger 2” after it’s first owner, an executive at oil services company Schlumberger in the late 1970’s who lived in Europe.
It has been carefully restored to be almost exactly as it was when it left the garage of Steve Jobs’ family home, and the computer is fully operational. It has been evaluated by experts, including its creator and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak who signed its iconic 6502 CPU.
Recently I've gotten really interested in the #Apple1. The forerunner to the much better known Apple II and the machine that originally launched @Apple in 1970s.
Here are some of the more interesting points on my adventure. #Thread

It's such a simple machine that a minimally technical article I read earlier this year had enough details to write a simple #emulator.
Which I ended up doing; my very first attempt at creating one. #MOS6502
Here it is running @stevewoz's original 256-byte "monitor" firmware/OS.

My emulator is just a console app with a command line to control the emulation.
The actual I/O text streams for the emulated machine are just pushed through a local socket connection.
#PuTTY works great as a front end.
A real Apple-1 would need a TV screen and keyboard.
