The Apple Computer. A truly complete microcomputer system on a single PC board. Based on the MOS Technology 6502 micro- processor, the Apple also has a built-in video terminal and sockets for 8K bytes of onboard RAM memory. With the addition of a keyboard and video monitor, you'll have an extremely powerful computer system that can be used for anything from developing programs to playing games or running BASIC.
You Don't Need an Expensive Teletype.
Using the built-in video terminal
and keyboard interface, you avoid all the expense, noise and
mantenance associated with a teletype. And the Apple video terminal
is six times faster than a teletype, which means more throughput
and less waiting. The Apple connects directly to a video monitor
(or home TV with an in- expensive RF modulator) and dis- plays
960 easy to read characters in 24 rows of 40 characters per
line with automatic scrolling. The video display section contains
its own 1K bytes of memory, so all the RAM memory is available
for user programs. And the
Keyboard Interface lets you use almost any ASCII-encoded keyboard.
No More Switches, Compared to switches and LED's, a video terminal can dis- play vast amounts of information simultaneously. The Apple video terminal can display the contents of 192 memory locations at once on the screen. And the fimrware in PROMS enables you to enter,display and debug programs (all in hex) from the keyboard, ren- dering a front panel unnecessary. The firmware also allows your programs to print characters on the display, and since you'll be looking at letters and numbers instead of just LED's, the door is open to all kinds of alphanumeric software (i.e., Games and BASIC).
8K Bytes RAM in 16 Chips!
ble. That's 32K bytes on-board RAM in 16 IC's --the equivalent of 256 2102's!
A little Cassette Board that
Works!
Unlike many other cassette
boards on the marketplace,ours works every timeIt plugs directly
into the upright connector on the mainboard and stands only
2" tall.And since it is very fast (1500 bits per second),
you can read or write 4 K bytes in about 20 seconds.All timing
is done in software, witch results in crystal-controlled accuracy
and uniformity from unit to unit.
Softwares
A tape of APPLE BASIC
is inclued free with the Cassette Interface.Apple Basic features
immediate error message and fast execution, and let's you program
in a highter level language immediately and without added cost.Also
avialable now are a dis-assembler and many games, with many
software packages,(including a macro assembler) in the works.And
since our philosophy is to provide software for our machines
free or at minimal cost, you won't be continually paying for
access to this growing software library.
