It’s no secret that many rare Apple devices are sold at auction for impressive sums. The first apple computers are the most. For example, not so long ago Apple I was sold at Christie’s auction for $470,000. However, collectors are willing to pay not only for working devices. Original instructions from rare apple computers are also very expensive.
At the moment, the online auction RR is bidding for the original instruction for Apple I. So far for the document offer 9 422 dollars. However, there are still about 24 hours left until the auction is completed. It is possible that by the time the bidding ends, the rate will exceed $10,000.
The instruction consists of only 12 pages and in addition to the general data about the operation of the first Apple computer includes a lot of useful information. For example, it has a section entitled 6502 Hex Monitor Listing, which describes an innovative memory management program at the time (it is also known as the Wozniak Monitor).
However, the most interesting for connoisseurs, most likely, is the concept of the first apple computer.
