Components Supplied With the Kit

• Component mix is subject to change without notice
• All components, no matter the source, are perfectly interchangeable with actual Apple 1 motherboards.  
• For the vast majority of IC's, I provide the exact same part number as specified by Apple, despite the existence of easier to find functional replacements with different part numbers.  There may (or may not) be a few substitute parts in your kit that are functional replacements for obsolete originals, with different part numbers.  This is only done when I can't find the original part number at a reasonable cost.
• View this hi-res image for an example of component selection on my first prototype
• Components may differ slightly from those pictured.   The reasons include:
• an ongoing seach for lower cost suppliers
• an ongoing search for more authentic or better quality parts
• the scarcity of some obsolete parts forces changes from time to time
• most connector suppliers do not specify color of plastic, so black, red or white connectors may be provided for power or video connectors.
• The card edge expansion connector is green.
• I will always supply black mcahined IC sockets 

Significant component changes since the first prototype (pictured) was built

• Black plastic DRAMs now supplied (similar to what many of the 1st batch of original Apple 1's have)
• A14F rectifier diodes  (instead of MR500 diodes).  Most original Apple 1's had the A14F diode.
• Stancor transformer prices have become very high.  Triad transformers will be supplied as standard in kits ordered after 2/28/11.  Stancors can be substituted instead for a $75 surcharge.  Both Stancor and Triad were specified and used in original Apple 1 systems.    The only downside of the Triads is that the F-40x is specified at 60HZ only, so anyone using 50HZ power will need to use Stancor or some other equivalent transformer.
• 6/14/11 Carbon composition resistors similar to what the original used, are now included in the kits.
