## Description

Tiniest adapter out there, sits directly on the Apple-1 keyboard socket. No need for extra flat cables. It has a **clear screen** button and passthrough *breakout pins* for the Apple-1 keyboard connector. For **reset**, the key on the connected Apple 2 keyboard can be used.

On the backside, a solder jumper is added to unhook the 8th input bit off the 5V, meant for the advanced user. The **power out** connector can be used to let the Apple-1 power further experiments, like the [Character Generator Tester](https://lectronz.com/products/character-generator-tester). Use this adapter on top of the [ASCII Keyboard Tester Tiny](https://lectronz.com/products/ascii-keyboard-tester-tiny) to easy wire a custom keyboard.

Unsoldered kit comes with the pcb, all parts, schematics, bill of materials and manual. The Apple-1 and keyboard in the pictures are for illustrative purposes only and are not part of the kit.
