The original instructions for Apple I, the first computer released by Apple, appeared at RR Auction in Boston, USA. The manual, due to end on July 10, is said to have the potential to win over $10,000.
Apple I is a one-board microcomputer developed and sold by Apple co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in the mid-1970s. About 200 units were sold in the form of assembly kits that did not include a keyboard, and there are 50 to 60 units. The main body of Apple I, which was also executed last year, was auctioned off for more than 400 million won. As the original selling price was $666.66, it is more than 500 times expensive by simple calculation.
However, even if such an Apple I is exhibited, it is rare that a manual is included. It is data from 40 years ago, but if it is more than $10,000, it means that its scarcity is high. However, it is a little disappointing that circular stains remain on both sides of the first page.
RR Auction introduces a rare original vintage Apple I manual, revealing that it is 8.5×11 on 12 pages around 1976 and has the original Apple logo engraved on the cover. A glowing apple hangs above his head showing Isaac Newton sitting under a tree and thinking deeply. This manual contains information on starting and running the system, using the system monitor, and expanding the Apple system. It also published a schematic diagram of the Apple I computer. There is also a title page for the “6502 Hex Monitor Listing,” a memory program devised by Steve Wozniak, commonly referred to as Woz Monitor. If you’ve already won the Apple I, you might be greeted by this manual. Related information can be found here .
