Apple I - Switched on after 30 Years

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/W98nDs8BJ7Y

The finale for today is an Apple I. One that has not been switched on for 30 years, but lives in the Heinz Nixdorf Museum in Paderborn.

Putting the thing back into operation after such a long time, without seeing the contents of the ICs rising in small clouds of fume, is quite a serious challenge.

And the colleagues of the Heinz Nixdorf Museum have bravely met this challenge. The result is a quite interesting series consisting of 4 short videos starting with part I

The videos are in German, but the English subtitles are excellent. Exciting story that!
