A-ONE replica – Retro Computing

I have a A-one extended. Beautiful system, well designed and build. A-ONE hardware design: Franz Achatz , Video controller Software: San Bergmans, Keyboard controller Software: Ben Zijlstra

SB-Projects, San Bergmans’ description of the working of the Apple 1 and all about the A-ONE

The A-ONE is a compact and high quality Apple 1 replica made and designed in the Netherlands by Achatz Electronics. Similar, but not identical to the Apple 1 Replica 1. Advantages are the small board size and low IC count,, 50 Hz and 60 Hz rock solid video, and the real Apple 1 slot.

A-ONE Extended

The A-ONE Extended is a standard A-ONE with additional a large breadboard and three Apple 1 slots. Together with the breadboard prototype board this make it quite an impressive system to develop hardware for 6502 systems!

A-ONE extensions

Since the Apple 1 slot is standard, it must be possible to use the Apple 1 and Replica 1 extensions, such as the CFFA1 and the multi-I/O board on the A-ONE. It will need a A-One slot to Apple 1 slot onnection, perhaps via one of the prototype boards.

Working with the A-ONE extended becomes even more a pleasure with the prototype boards sold by Achatz Electronics.
