It looks like an awkward crop. The <a href="http://www.20x200.com/art/2009/04/ibm-360-model-30-tape-drives-1965.html">IBM 360 Model 30 Tape Drives</a> print, on the other hand, looks superb.

I just put my 1976 Cromemco S-100 Z80 computer on the block. I think it has an old clone of the Apple operating system in it. It came with a pair of EPROMS with ZAPPLE hand lettered on them. Man, those were the days. You kids get off my lawn. There’s that Z80 again. I just put my 1976 Cromemco S-100 Z80 computer on the block.

It has the feeling that it's excluding something. But I do like how the terminal at the top left snugs right up to the border.

I like the old HP power transformer (made by Paeco, perhaps). Since Woz worked at HP, he might have scrounged it from a junk pile there. The big rheostat is another nice touch. Gives it that warm tube sound. @4: That’s a 6502, thank you very much.

All of their products have been highly proprietary, often designed to resist upgrading or interchangeability of parts. Can somebody remind me why the founding of Apple is a thing to celebrate?

My KIM-1 and OSI Superboard II used 6502 and they were black. I have a Z80 <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3338/3408281210_500346ca7a_o.jpg"> HERE </a> and it's silver/white. My memory may be faulty. I haven't seen the insides of an original Apple in over 30 years. @6: Are you sure? My KIM-1 and OSI Superboard II used 6502 and they were black.

So, I don't think the photographer had the option to rearrange them. The components are mounted on a wooden board. So, I don’t think the photographer had the option to rearrange them.
