Ken Shirriff is one of those people that I personally seriously envy. Ken either professionally has the opportunity or privately the time to take apart, analyze and document old machines and especially their chips. 

Again and again this results in articles, that are not only characterized by Ken's expertise but also by real „wow experiences“. 

This time Ken dedicated himself to the DS0025 Two-Phase MOS Clock Driver of the Apple-1, which had to be able to handle one special feature of the Apple-1 memory in particular: The shift-register based RAM substitute.

As always, Ken's article on the subject features high-res die-shots and lots of detailed information.

Definitely not to be missed!
