Wireless Apple 1 for $3

Woohoooo! A lover of wood, silicone and plastic put a whopping 400,000 US dollars on the table of an auction house to buy one of the few remaining Apple-1s.

Those who have, can. It is begrudged.

If you don't have 400k rolled up in the coffee can in your kitchen cupboard, but are still interested in this iconic machine, then here's a project for you that is definitely worth the time and financial effort.

Hrvoje Čavrak has already published this project 4 years ago. It allows you to emulate an Apple-1 on an ESP8266 for a mere $3 hardware cost.

The cool thing about the project is, the whole thing is completely wireless! Hrvoje actually generates an analog video signal that can be received by your TV set using a piece of cable as an antenna. 😳 

You get the connection to the device via WIFI and Telnet, an integrated TFTP server allows you to upload software.

It could hardly be any cooler. What a project. Thanks Hrvoje.
