A Little Introduction To The Apple 1
Computers and humans do not speak the same language. Fortunately computers have come a long way to learn to understand what we humans want them to do, thanks to graphical user interfaces. However back in '76 computers were far from being human-friendly. They had to be spoken to in their own native language: binary numbers. Steve Wozniak and his Apple company were among the first to change that a little. His Apple 1 computer came one step closer to us humans. Obviously computers still had a long way to go, but it was considered a giant leap for computer users back then.
Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs
The Apple 1 was programmable with hexadecimal numbers, instead of binary numbers. It had a real keyboard, instead of a large set of toggle switches and flashing lights. And it had a screen which could show 24 lines of 40 characters each instead of about 6 seven- segment displays (at best). OK we humans were still the ones who had to adapt the most, but from then on computers did their utmost to better integrate with us. On the Apple 1 this human interface was controlled by the monitor program, better known as the Woz Monitor, named after its creator. A total of 256 bytes of ROM memory were responsible for holding the Woz Monitor and allowing the computer to do something sensible when the RESET switch was pressed. Doesn't sound much, only 256 bytes, but keep in mind that memory was extremely expensive in those days. And hey, it's always 256 bytes more than Apple's main competitor at that time, the Altair 8800, which had no ROM at all and no terminal screen or keyboard!

Introduction To The A-ONE
My main intention was to build a personal computer that could be understood by one single person. Just like Niklaus Wirth designed his Oberon operating system: any one person that knows about programming, can understand all ins and outs of Oberon. The same with me here: I wanted to build a computer that can be understood without having to consult many books and having to listen to many people. So I designed the A-ONE Apple 1 replica. Simple by all means.
Of course, there are people who know just about everything about the original Apple One computer, but never got the chance to work with one. Well, this is your chance.
And for the lawyers among us: I got permission from Steve Wozniak (in writing) for using his original firmware (WOZ-mon and BASIC) for this project.
For this A-one project, I used as many original components as possible:
- 6502 CPU - 6821 PIA - ROM and RAM (although I used one big instead of many small memories)
Some other (non-essential) parts, however, were easier to redesign and produce with current technology chips. We used a 16V8 GAL for the address decoding. The video display subsystem is now made with one Atmel ATmega32 processor and the PS/2 keyboard is handled by one Atmel Tiny2313 processor. This will enable the user to use the old computer with modern (and hence affordable) peripherals like composite video screen and PS/2 keyboard.
Photo 1: The A-One replica
The A-One replica is upward compatible with the original one. As an addition, it has a fast RS-232 port onboard. Sending of data is handled by the ATmega32, whereas receiving is done by the keyboard controller (Atmel Tiny2313).

Memory Map
You can choose between two different memory maps:
Option 1: + 32 KB RAM bound to address range 0x000 - 0x7FFF + WOZ-BASIC in ROM starts at 0xE000 + WOZ-MON in ROM starts at 0xFF00
Option 2: + 4 KB of RAM, originally found at 0x6000 - 0x6FFF is moved to 0xE000 - 0xEFFF
Option 2 corresponds with the original Apple-1 memory map. Since it had 4 KB of RAM at segment 0xE000, there was no ROM-BASIC there. It had to be loaded by the WOZ-MON..

PS2 Keyboard
An industry standard PS/2 keyboard is used by the A-One. It is controlled via the ATtiny2313 processor. The PS/2 clock line is controlled by PortD.2 and the data line is controlled by PortD.4. PortD.3 is used for generating a RESET condition for the A-One processor (the 6502) either when a Ctrl-R is received via RS-232 or when the user presses the F12 function key. PortB, bits 0 to 6, output the 7 bit keyboard data to the 6821 PIA chip.
All data that is received via RS 232 (at 2400 bps) is directed to PortB, just like the keyboard data. Additionally, a strobe signal is generated and implemented as PortB.7 This menas that a terminal session on a PC connected to the A-One via serial cable, is treated as direct keyboard input by the A-One.

Video Controller
The ATmega32 serves two purposes:
- generating the videodata - outputting the serial data via the TxD pin (PortD.1, pin 15)
All data that comes from the keyboard is retransmitted instantly via the TxD pin of the ATmega32. The V-sync routine controls the DA and RDA handshake signals which are required for the 6821 peripheral. Every 20 ms, a new character can be sent to the videocontroller, which means that maximum 50 characters per second are allowed.

Working with the A-ONE
WOZ MONITOR
The original Apple 1 did not come with a Reset circuit, which means that the user has to press the RESET switch in order to get the machine started. Once you do that a back slash '\' is printed on the screen and the cursor will drop down one line. The cursor position is represented by a flashing '@' symbol. You can now type address, data and commands which will be executed as soon as you press the Return key. The input buffer can hold up to 127 character, if you type more characters before hitting the Return key the input line will be erased and will start again from scratch. This is overflow situation is indicated by a new back slash after which the cursor drops one line again. Because of the primitive nature of the terminal there are not many line-editing features available. You can press the back arrow key to erase characters from the input buffer, but the erased characters will not be erased from the screen nor will the cursor position back-up. You'll have to keep track of the changes yourself. It's obvious that you can easily get confused when a line contains too many corrections or when an error is detected all the way at the other end of the input line. In that case it would be easiest to cancel the input and start all over again. Cancelling the input is done by pressing the ESC key. Address inputs are truncated to the least significant 4 hexadecimal digits. Data inputs are truncated to the least significant 2 hexadecimal digits. Thus entering 12345678 as address will result in the address 5678 to be used. Tip: This can also be used to your advantage to correct typing errors, instead of using the back arrow key. If an error is encountered during the parsing of the input line then the rest of the line is simply ignored, without warning! Commands executed before the error are executed normally though.
Examining memory (memory dump)
You can examine the contents of a single memory location by typing a single address followed by a Return. 4F
004F: 0F Note: The bold typed characters are what the user types. All other characters are responses from the Apple 1. Now let us examine a block of memory from the last opened location to the next specified location. .5A
0050: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 0058: 08 09 0A Note: 004F is still considered the most recently opened location. We can also combine the previous two examples into one commend:
A-ONE Apple 1 Replica Computer Hardwaremanual

4F.5A
0040: 0F 0050: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 0058: 08 09 0A Note: Only the first location of the block 4F is considered opened. You can also examine several locations at once, with all addresses on one command line. 4F 52 56
004F: 0F 0052: 02 0056: 06 Note: 0056 is considered the most recently opened address. Let's take this concept into the extremes and combine some block and single address examinations on one command line. 4F.52 56 58.5A
004F: 0F 0050: 00 01 02 0056: 06 0058: 08 09 0A Note: By now you won't be surprised that 0058 is considered the most recently opened location. Finally let's examine some successive blocks of memory. This can be handy if you want to examine a larger block of memory which will not fit on one monitor screen. Remember that there is no way to halt a large examine list other than hitting the RESET button! 4F.52
004F: 0F 0050: 00 01 02 .55
0053: 03 04 05 .5A
0056: 06 07 0058: 08 09 0A
Depositing memory (changing memory contents)
This is how to change a single memory location (provided it is RAM memory of course). 30:A0
0030: FF Note: FF is what location 00300 used to contain before the operation, from now on it contains A0. Location 0030 is now considered the most recently opened location. Now we're going to deposit some more bytes in successive locations, starting from the last deposited location. :A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
Note: Location 31 now contains A1, location 32 contains A2 and so on until location 35 which now contains A5.
A-ONE Apple 1 Replica Computer Hardwaremanual
Achatz Electronics The Netherlands 12
Combining these two techniques will give us the next example. 30:A0 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
0030: FF Note: Location 0030 used to contain FF in this example. Breaking up a long entry into multiple command lines is done like this: 30:A1 A2
0030: FF :A2 A3
:A4 A5
Note: A colon in a command means "start depositing data from the most recently deposited location, or if none, then from the most recently opened location. Now we're going to examine a piece of memory and then deposit some new data into it: 30.35
0030: A0 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 :B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 Note: New data deposited beginning at most recently opened location, which is 0030 in this example.
Running a program
To run a program at a specified address: 10F0R
10F0: A9 Note the cursor is left immediately to the right of the displayed data; it is not returned to the next line. It's the program's responsibility to control the rest of the output. From now on the user program is in control of the Apple 1. If the user program does not return to the Woz monitor (by jumping to address $FF1F) you'll have to press the RESET key to stop your program and return to the Woz Monitor. You can also enter a program and run it all from the same command line. Please note that this only works for very short programs of course. 40: A9 0 20 EF FF 38 69 0 4C 40 0 R
40: FF Note: FF is the previous contents of location 0040. This little program will continue printing characters to the screen. It can only be stopped by pressing the RESET key.

The Woz Monitor's RAM Use The monitor needs some RAM memory to perform its tasks. When a user program is running all bytes used by the monitor may be recycled, the monitor doesn't care about the contents of any of the memory locations when it regains control again. Here's the complete list of all the memory the Woz Monitor requires while it is running: Zero page $24 to $2B General purpose storage locations. None of the bytes are very important and they may all be changed by the user program.
Stack page $0100 to $01FF Although the Woz Monitor only uses 3 bytes of stack space at most there is no way of telling where the stack actually is. This is because the stack pointer is not initialized by the Woz Monitor. A user program may use the entire stack for its own purposes. However be careful when entering code on page $01 before the stack pointer is initialized, the monitor may overwrite your code again.
Input buffer $0200 to $027F This space is used as input buffer. User programs may use this area. However you can not enter code here manually because it will be overwritten by the monitor. The next addresses are not exactly RAM locations, which doesn't make them less important though. They are the 6821 PIA control registers. KBD $D010 Keyboard input register. This register holds valid data when b7 of KBDCR is "1". Reading KBD will automatically clear b7 of KBDCR. Bit b7 of KBD is permanently tied to +5V. The monitor expects only upper case characters.
KBDCR $D011 The only bit which we are interested in in this register is the read-only bit b7. It will be set by hardware whenever a key is pressed on the keyboard. It is cleared again when the KBD location is read.
DSP $D012 Bits b6..b0 are the character outputs for the terminal display. Writing to this register will set b7 of DSP, which is the only input bit of this register. The terminal hardware will clear bit b7 as soon as the character is accepted. This may take up to 16.7 ms though!
DSPCR $D013 This register is better left untouched, it contains no useful data for a user program. The Woz Monitor has initialized it for you. Changing the contents may kill the terminal output until you press RESET again.
A-ONE Apple 1 Replica Computer Hardwaremanual
Achatz Electronics The Netherlands 14
Useful Routines Apart from the monitor program itself the Woz Monitor contains only a few useful routines which can be called by user programs. $FF1F GETLINE This is the official monitor entry point. If your program is finished and you want to return to the monitor you can simply jump to this location. It will echo a CR and from then on you are back in the monitor.
$FFEF ECHO This simple routine prints the character in the Accumulator to the terminal. The contents of the Accumulator are not disrupted, only the flag register will be changed. Although this is a fairly short routine it may take up to some 16.7 ms before it returns control to the user program. For more details about this behaviour please read the page about the terminal.
$FFDC PRBYTE This routine prints the byte which is held in the Accumulator in hexadecimal format (2 digits). The contents of the Accumulator are disrupted.
$FFE5 PRHEX Prints the least significant 4 bits of the Accumulator in hexadecimal format (1 digit). The contents of the Accumulator are disrupted. If you want to read a single character from the keyboard from within your own machine language program you can use the following piece of code: KBDIN LDA KBDCR See if there is a character available BPL KBDIN Not as long as b7 remains low LDA KBD Get the character and clear the flag

WOZ BASIC
I think it goes without saying that you should make sure that Apple 1 Basic is loaded into memory before it can be started. If it's not provided in ROM you'll have to load it into memory locations from $E000 to $EFFF. The Basic interpreter can be started by typing E000R in the Woz Monitor. After printing the contents of address E000 you'll see a > symbol followed by the flashing cursor, which is from now on our prompt to enter Basic commands. E000 is the so called "Cold" entry point to the Basic interpreter, which means that the program is initialized before we can really get going. This also means that there will be no runnable program in memory when we enter the Basic this way. </P If you had to go back to the Woz monitor for any particular reason and want to return to the Basic interpreter without losing anything you can use the "Warm" entry point by typing E2B3R in the Woz Monitor. Starting Basic using its Cold entry point initializes the LOMEM and HIMEM pointers to $0800 and $1000 respectively (HIMEM is set to 4k + 1). This means that you'll have a total of 2k of memory for your Basic program and its variables. On a standard Apple 1 with 8k of RAM, you could lower LOMEM to $0300, giving you an extra 256 bytes of program memory. If you have more than 8k of RAM, which is the case with probably all modern day replicas and the Apple 1 emulation programs, then you can raise HIMEM to whatever memory size you've got. Needles to say of course that you can only use a contiguous block of memory between LOMEM and HIMEM. Changing LOMEM and HIMEM is done with two similar named commands. Please note that these two commands only accept decimal values and that they do NOT test whether your entries are valid. Also note that these commands will erase your existing Basic program from memory!
First make sure Jumper JP2 selects Map1 (we use the BASIC in ROM).
Reset the A-ONE by pressing the Reset-switch or „F12“.
We are ready to start BASIC.
