We often admire buildings and spaceships for having a “detailed interior,” but it’s not often I get to say that about a LEGO computer. This Apple II Plus (or Apple ][+ if you want to get technical) by Chiu-Kueng Tsang (chiukeung) certainly recreates the look of this classic computer from the era before Apple made its first Mac.
But I’m most impressed that Chiu-Kueng even built the internal hardware — perhaps a bit of that whopping 48 KB of RAM.
Thanks to John Baichtal over at MAKE for the tip!
This is a fantastic model! Not only is it made of LEGOy goodness, it’s so nostalgic, too. While I didn’t own one, I certainly used one. Love models like this!
My 13-year-old self just fainted! Brought back memories of trying to get that blasted cover on and off without injury.
