Sorry if my request was unclear. I was asking for the disk data image
for an MFM disk hardware emulator.

The pre-production Apple 1 auctioned via CharityBuzz and displayed at
VCF West closed just now for $1,210,000. Blows away the old record of
$900-something. Amazing!!!
Wow, how extraordinary a price for such a boring (in terms of design if not
impact), well-understood, easy-to-replicate computer.
You can be sure it wasn't a vintage computer enthusiast as much as a
business enthusiast who got it... :)
Sorry I'm such a hater, I've just never understood the Apple 1
so, what was the vcf's take?

My take is.. I think someone needs to start buying Crays for a one million
dollars since that's about what $200,000 houses cost in my area of the
USA. LOL.
I assume it's value is strictly because of the Steve Jobs worship.
It seemed kind of odd to me wrapping

I can not wait to get back to the back of some of the rooms I have not
been in for 20 to 30 years where I would stash away anything that
looked like a single board computer... who knows... there may be gold in

I've been informed that the price was $815,000, not $1.21M. Sorry for
the mistake.

He said he has connected a 47 Ohm resistor at each end of the
coax. That's close enough to the correct 50Ohm terminal to
work.

Thinwire (10base2) and 10base5 are electrically very similar. There
is a difference (I forget what, but I seem to remember if you used the
