First Apple computer expected to sell for an estimated $242,400

Created in 1976, the Apple-1 was only worth $666.66 and was one of an estimated 200 produced by the hand of co-founder
Steve Wosniak. The original version, sold without a keyboard, monitor or power supply, came equipped with only 8
kilobytes of RAM, which is small potatoes compared to today’s memory standards.

A major drawback of the Apple-1 was the lack of a floppy drive. The programs were loaded onto the memory from cassette
tapes that were sold separately, making the total invoice for the Apple-1 a mere $741.66. One tape, labeled “BASIC,”
that was used to load programming language, will be included in the sale at the auction.

Other items said to be included will be original packaging, manuals, cassette interface, basic tape, early documentation
and provenance and a rare letter from Steve Jobs.
