And, while we're at it: No. This is your fervid imagination ignoring what I actually write and instead making up things out of whole cloth because, I dunno, you want to have a flame war with yourself.

Do you have a source for any statement at all that says it was not designed to work with the 6800? Because you keep coming up with evidence where Apple, Woz and Jobs all say they intend it to work with the 6800, and you're essentially saying that they were all lying about their intent there...

Well, I certainly wouldn't put it that way. Perhaps we're just quibbling over terminology here. Which of these do you agree and disagree with? The Apple 1 was designed to work with the 6800 as well as the 6501 and 6502. The Apple 1 was designed to work only with the 6501 and 6502, and was not...

Well, I think that the FPGA-based emulation of Gideon Zweijtzer's motherboard is a big step up from VICE on an ARM chip, and more importantly the built-in Ultimate II+ cart is a huge advantage over TheC64. It's also not too hard for Perifractic to toss in a much better manual (along the lines of...

Well, I think that the argument arises because that's also what you would need for the 6501 clock. Which makes it certainly possible that Woz never had the 6800 in mind at all when designing the Apple 1, but that was purely to support the (cheaper) 6501. I simply don't find this likely, given...

They were wrong, it was actually done a dozen years ago, as you can see from the video linked above. There just a couple of quite minor changes necessary: The 7404 you need to add to C1 is too fast and causes clock issues; you need to substitute a 74L04. (S04 and LS04 won't work, either.) You...

Well, I've been going on all the evidence you've provided. But let's look around. Say, at The Little Kingdom by Michael Moritz (William Morrow, 1984). On paper [Wozniak] plotted out a design of a computer built around the 6800. (p.124) After he completed [Integer BASIC], [Wozniak] set about...

Ah, I'd misread the Wikipedia article. Thanks for that correction. Then it does make sense that the board might be designed for just the 6501, and not the 6800. Except: And the first one he lists is the 6800, the CPU you claim the board was not designed for.

This is getting too far off-topic, so I won't bother with presenting you with a dozen easily found examples from my .bashrc of things I bet you can't do in AmigaOS without scripting. There was something very similar to find, except with significantly less powerful predicates: it was called...

Yeah, it's stuff like this that I Just Didn't Know About that I now, with the benefit of age and experience, appreciate. It's worth pointing out that the "show one filename and hit TAB to see the next" is a user choice for readline, Vim, and other applications. I hate that and instead have it...

Ah, now I see what we're waiting on for the F446 version. Nice!

BTW, do you have references for this? I just happened to be looking at the Apple 1 manual again, and there's no explicitly mention of the 6501 (the closest it gets is "compatible with 6800/6500 style timing") and the schematic says, "If a 6800 is substituted for the 6502...." I wouldn't be...

I think it's as much or more about how people change over time, and learn from experience. I was reasonably impressed by the Amiga when it came out, but it didn't look all that much better than the Atari ST to me, and I ended up using the latter because it was significantly cheaper. I only...

That's because you're looking at just one (admittedly almost certainly the largest) audience for these things. Let's review the options and their audiences, roughly in order of likely audience size. 1. VICE or a similar emulator. Great because it's super-cheap, and works quite well for just...

No, actually what you've done is come up with a straw man argument in your head and you're arguing against that rather that I'm actually saying. What makes this clear is you keep posting things that we agree on as if they're evidence of disagreement. For example: Indeed! I can think of no...
