Just started playing with another funny thing – Mountain Computer Music System. Took a while to check and setup all to hear the music and Hallelujah – I can hear the music. Beautiful music.

Mountain Computer Expansion Chassis.

If you own many peripherals for Your Apple II computer, you have probably run into the problem of too few slots for too many peripherals. The frequent “card swapping” you must do to cope with this problem is inconvenient and can be damaging to your peripheral cards. The Expansion Chassis offers a solution to this problem by providing you with an abundance of peripheral slots.
The Expansion Chassis is compatible with Pascal, as well as Integer Basic, Applesoft Basic and the Monitor. It can be controlled with software, hardware or a combination. In addition, each Expansion Chassis has its own power supply and provides 30 watts of continuous power (info from original manual from Mountain Computer Corp)

History starts now 🙂

Since 8th of February here at www.appleclub.pl we have working Apple 1 clone. Now I can feel like Steve Wozniak…..almost…..because any operation on this computer is very difficult.

Pierwsza działająca replika Apple 1 w końcu w Polsce. Powstała i pojawiła się w sposób zaskakujący i niespodziewany. Zmontowana i uruchomiona przez Pana Wojtka, tajemniczego geeka elektroniki niezwiązanego z retro.

Macintosh Twiggy (almost), one of my ideas and home made items.

Never existing Apple IIe Flat Display (Flat Panel) and external keyboard.

Tansparent Apple IIe and Transparent Macintosh. Why ?
Idea was to show to non IT people what is inside of computer. From the other hand it is something diffrent, ususual.
Both are fully working. I have some more ideas for another similar devices.
