Oh man, that is the coolest Replica-1 case I've seen so far. I have a Replica-1 SE and a Micro-Kim but I just put rubber feet on the circuit boards. Good Work!
I was drawn to this video while listening to iWoz on an audiobook. I'm relieved to find this is a recent video, so you might follow through on your promise to post some game videos. Can't wait.
Sorry for my late reply. You only need a soldering iron, and a voltage meter to test it when its done. This was my first time soldering anything. Not too difficult, it took about 6 hours to solder it completely.
It's interesting you mentioned iWoz because that book is what got me interested in making my own apple 1. I have got some games up and running and will post the videos by the end of the week, and hopefully youtube will post them in high quality so the text is easier to read.
@mankyman6 I agree, it is a truely working apple 1, its just not from the original era or apples factory. Those boards are worth a ton of money today because of their rarity. Because of this, Briel Computers decided to make a clone that hobbists like myself could afford. But you are right, it works exactly the same as the originals.
If you've never soldered before, it may be a bit challenging, otherwise its pretty fun and easy. You'll learn the basic functions of the chips and how they are laid out, but nothing on an engineering level. It comes with apple BASIC preloaded in the ram so you can do simple basic programming. Breil's website has some games you can load and play. I made another video of the games and how they are loaded on my channel. Its fun to play with if you like retro computing
@robfilmmaker Awesome! I will be sure to check out that link! The case we will have no problem making, we have a woodshop next to our class, and we design all of their projects... I am sure I can slip a wooden computer case blue-print into their portfolio. And, our class is also a tech class, so we have a lot of monitors, and keyboards, etc. So everything seems set, except for one more thing. Does the ROM need to be uploaded when the PC is completed, or do you program it yourself?
@surflingo Any ps/2 keyboard will work. I can't remember where exactly I got it, I just did a google search for small ps/2 keyboard and found it. No hazards, I guess if you touched the wrong spot you could get a little shock or your static could wipe the memory clean. Generally speaking you should avoid touching the circuit board while the power is on.
You could program it in BASIC and assembler. It didn't have any commercial software besides programming languages, so you'd have to develop anything you needed yourself. It was mainly a hobby product, but you could do a bit of useful work with it, such as business stuff.
@whatsup89100 The kit comes with just the motherboard parts. You have to soldier it together. The case, keyboard, and monitor you have to get on your own. I made the case shown.
Could you please tell me the exact parts needed to make this? I talked my Drafting/Tech Teacher into buying purchasing some boards, and kits for the class, to work with, and I showed him your video, and he said if I found out the parts we need, the school could purchase the parts, and we could build it!
How is the kit? Is it easy? Do they just tell you to put this chip in there and that there and I spend 150 and not end up learning anything...? Are there any explanations of some sort about the circuit and chips? Also, what about the software? I think you said in the comments here that the software is preloaded? Which language is it? Thanks. I really would like make this one of my first projects.
If you don't go the ebay route, there is only one man who sells them. He has the largest collection of old apple stuff I've ever seen. Google Wayne Bibbens.
@steffono3 You can buy the apple 1 kit from brielcomputers. The link is in the description of my video. You only get the board and components, you have to make you own case, use your own monitor, and keyboard. It was fun to put it together, took me about 6 hours of soldering.
I just posted a response but it didn't appear, anyway, I had the same problem. Double check all your solder points. You can email vince and he will walk you though the troubleshooting process so you can find where your problem is. Mine was a bad chip. But it could be a number of things. You can also check the user forums on the briel computers website. I posted the link last time and I think that is why youtube didn't post my first response. The web address is in your user manual.
You can buy the complete kit for the circuit board at brielcomputers website (see link in description). The case I made from acrylic and the keyboard is just a small ps/2 keyboard I found somewhere on the internet. The monitor I'm using is an old apple //c monitor, but any tv/monitor with a composite input will work.
alright, but the heck what could be resolved with such a computer? you are typing and we see what you type on the monitor. great. but that's it? why should one have bought such a computer at it's era? Just to see green letters on the monitor??
@AlbertSSMovies if you want one that defiantly works with PAL, look into the A-One @ achatz.nl Have used one, its brilliant, as soon as i can afford to i will be purchasing one. *it works with PAL thanks to a switch*
@blackkat7073 That would be an Apple II Plus, but I see what you (nearly) did there :D
LGR!!😂

People would have been even MORE amazed if apple made awesome cases like these!

He's the only guy on youtube with a video all about this replica computer. I guess I should make a video of me building it.
It's interesting you mentioned iWoz because that book is what got me interested in making my own apple 1. I have got some games up and running and will post the videos by the end of the week, and hopefully youtube will post them in high quality so the text is easier to read.
I would pay to see you take this to the genius bar. Just to see the look on the nerds face behind the counter

@jmanprepper326 You can use any monitor with a composite input. Composite is RCA type input. Most tvs still have them.

@otamanlvhs There aren't any instruction for the case, people had to make those on their own. The ones you see on the web are custom made.
@surflingo Any ps/2 keyboard will work. I can't remember where exactly I got it, I just did a google search for small ps/2 keyboard and found it.

@whatsup89100 The kit comes with just the motherboard parts. You have to soldier it together. The case, keyboard, and monitor you have to get on your own. I made the case shown.
@woody558 It uses an 12 volt AC adaptor instead of a power supply.
@AlbertSSMovies No, although you could probabily modify it to make it work on PAL.
@steffono3 The ROM comes pre-loaded so you just pop it on and your good to go. Its very sensitive to static so you have to be careful.
You can get it anywhere you want. it's Apple IIc monitor.
How hard is it to build?
Do you just plug in a regular keyboard?
What can you do on it?
Could you please tell me the exact parts needed to make this? I talked my Drafting/Tech Teacher into buying purchasing some boards, and kits for the class, to work with, and I showed him your video, and he said if I found out the parts we need, the school could purchase the parts, and we could build it!
@iTzDoubleZ Yes, its pretty easy if you know how to solder.
How is the kit? Is it easy? Do they just tell you to put this chip in there and that there and I spend 150 and not end up learning anything...?

@jmanprepper326 Its a vintage Apple II/c monitor
@robfilmmaker did you get the kit if so did it come with evry part needed
@robfilmmaker i know you have to solder i solder for a hobby what im asking is does it have all parts need to build the board resitors,processers etc
If you don't go the ebay route, there is only one man who sells them. He has the largest collection of old apple stuff I've ever seen. Google Wayne Bibbens.
Welcome to Vault-Tec Industries
@woody558 The power supply is a simple generic ac adaptor.
Do you think you could make a quick tutorial on how to set up zterm with this?
I was to make it as close to original as possible.Do you have instruction for wooden parts?
where did you get that case, or did you make it?
@theoxiiii yes, but only with one color. Green.
@baby1234crazydude Its a USB to serial plug so I can load the programs.
Did you have to solder different parts at different temperatures?
The chips come pre loaded with the roms in the kit. Its all in my well crafted description with links and everything else you will need.
@robfilmmaker Where did you get thet monitor!
@thecooldude9999 any tv (ntsc) monitor with composite input
very nice.
@robfilmmaker is that sarcasm? or will it really run crysis in one color?
@steffono3 You can buy the apple 1 kit from brielcomputers. The link is in the description of my video. You only get the board and components, you have to make you own case, use your own monitor, and keyboard. It was fun to put it together, took me about 6 hours of soldering.

back in the day :) i hav an emulator for an apple 1 on my laptop :) fun to play with :)
so is this like unix-like or something?
Make a wooden one that looks like the case at the Smithsonian :D
@pikefan23 What do you think...
does it work with any monitor?
@robfilmmaker ok, thanks now i'm gonna buy a kit :)
@woody558 Sorry for my late reply, it uses a PS/2 style keyboard. Really you can't do anything productive on it, its really a toy.
you can run a spreadsheet program ;)
Where's the power supply?
Screen: Apple IIC
But will it run Crysis?
i have that monitor.
alright, but the heck what could be resolved with such a computer? you are typing and we see what you type on the monitor. great. but that's it? why should one have bought such a computer at it's era? Just to see green letters on the monitor??
i thought there was gui macintosh operating system for apple dos
Apparently obviously ;)
@honam1021 see the link in the description of the video, to buy a kit. If you want mine you will have to make me an offer I can't refuse.
Where is a power supply?
Check out my new video, I added cool green lights to the acrylic case.
THANK YOU!!!!
I'd rather have a macintosh 128k replica
@whatsup89100 Yes
@noodlescracher28 Nope.
Ah, alright. Thx.
@AlbertSSMovies if you want one that defiantly works with PAL, look into the A-One @ achatz.nl Have used one, its brilliant, as soon as i can afford to i will be purchasing one. *it works with PAL thanks to a switch*
It looks like a term from fallout 3
no, the term from fallout looks like a half century old terminal..
@@danielrazulay the apple 1 is a half century old.
Great my cable is down
*that
does this guy speak?
You don't know Macs very well, do you?
4 8 15 16 23 42....
*facepalm*
