This manual provides specifications, setup instructions, and system monitor usage for the Apple Computer 6502 microprocessor system.
The Apple Computer is a complete microprocessor system consisting of a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, support hardware, integral video display electronics, dynamic memory, refresh hardware, and fully regulated power supplies. It includes resident system monitor software that enables users to write, examine, debug, and run programs efficiently via the keyboard and display.
The manual is divided into three sections: getting the system running (attaching keyboard, display, and AC power sources), using the system monitor (including a test program and hex listing), and expanding the system. It details hardware requirements such as ASCII keyboards, raster-scan monitors, and specific AC power transformers.
