From the project

Schematic for Apple II System Board Revision 0

This schematic was taken from the BitPreserve project and compared to the Apple II Gerbers by Mike Willegal (http://www.willegal.net/appleii/appleii-first_page.htm). When necessary, The Apple II Circuit Description by Winston D. Gayler was consulted.

The PCB layout is a reworking of the Gerbers by Mike Willegal in KiCad. Where components are unobtainable from regular suppliers, substitutes have been used with part number references.
